so the gentse feesten 2010 are gone again. this year, we didnt see all that many shows.
- chokebore at boomtown: an unexpected reunion, and unfortunately, quite unnecessary. they sounded way thighter than back in the day.
- sardonis at kinky star: belgium’s only instrumental high on fire tribute duo. quite entertaining for the headbangers though
- boston tea party at oase gantoise: surprisingly original post 90’s indierock. not unlike early pj harvey or something from ‘de afrekening vol 4’. would not mind seeing them again though.
- lieven tavernier & sarah d’hondt at place musette: their take on french chanson - fit quite well on what is one of the most underestimated stages of the feesten
- absynthe minded, jan de smet trio and a new beat-tribute at batakamp: even these acts were enjoyable at batakamp. the singer of the first band did a karaoke-version of one of his hits, jan de smet sang tineke van heule, and the new beat-act was ok for 3 minutes (during ‘dikke reet’). it’s all part of the experience.
