Los de Abajo... oh yeah... and I almost forgot... De Dijk

A double concert this saturday... you gotta do something with your midlife crisis. First of the dutch band De Dijk. Damn... I felt young looking around... there even was a 1.60m / 70yr old grandpa swinging away just in front of me.

A bit predictable, but my neighbor gave a solid performance. Part of my view was taken away by dombo though...

... he must have caught every tonal nuance. Luckily at the Heineken Muziek Hal, they have the next best thing to a walkin' fridge, so tonal nuances were lost on me anyway pretty soon...


Next stop was the Melkweg, with one of their mixed swimming sessions featuring a Mexican party band, Los de Abajo, I never heard of, but it just sounded like a lot of fun. They lifted of at 01:00 and never stopped...


... damn they were good... the stage was almost too small... twelve musicians... small room... hot music...  the lead guy dressed as a seventies porn star, including the moustache... they tore the roof of (we didn't even miss the walkin' beer tender) !


And they finished of in the pit... all twelve climbed of stage and continued playing  in the midst of the audience, unplugged but that doesn't matter much with the horns.


De Dijk, well they performed indeed like a dike, solid, you can always count on them, but the Mexicans they burned the night!

And of course... you need to find some proper closure after a night out like that....


Total damage was at least four hamburger like things, and some more health-challenging snacks (split over two persons... I am not a total pig)... but I lost count... no speedo's for me just yet this summer...
