Fuzz You!
The newest obsession started back in December. We were at the Paradiso for an Indievloot night and starting sharp at 7pm was Dan Mangan. Ok, so we weren’t so sharp with our arrival time so when we did get there the upstairs room was packed. And I mean packed! I was standing in the hallway [...]
The time of year has come – time to take a look back to appreciate it all before making the new list of things to do and see in 2012. The fuzzbabe has reflected and made note of all the super and not so super music of 2011… or at least in my opinion. I [...]
This Mangy Soul sees Dyzack return to the accoustic singer-songwriter format of his early career. Before you go ‘God, not another one’ you should know that This Mangy Soul has little to do with the soothing sentiments of Bon Iver or the Tallest Man on Earth. Instead it echoes the fiery temper of Captain Beefheart’s [...]
Wednesday night was canadian night as myself and another fuzz’er headed out to the Paradiso to catch the act of Mother Mother. I hadn’t done any research in advance – as why set expectations – so my first “uhm” moment happened when the band – a young and vibrant group of canadian musicians – took [...]
So Tuesday night at the Melkweg the fuzzbabe was in attendance. With no wing man and no video camera it was a challenge to defend my viewing spot and capture some photos with my phone. The room was full and the crowd was eager to see Anna Calvi…but first they had to endure the opening [...]
So sometimes you just can’t make it to a concert and you have to rely on the inputs and opinions of others. A good friend of the fuzz gang (lets’ call him Ramon from Amsterdam) caught the ‘dry the river’ show last week at Bitterzoet. What can I do but share his enthusiasm with you! [...]
The War On Drugs and Megafaun, Paradiso, September 11th 2011 After a short discussion as to where to stand the fuzzgang found a place with ideal video taking possibilities and we settled in for our double header of evening entertainment at the Paradiso. First up was Megafaun – which i would describe as a quirky [...]
That is what they call him, or maybe what he calls himself? The Tallest Man on Earth (Kristian Matsson) played the Paradiso and the fuzzgang was there to assess if the rumor is true. Let’s first deal with the ‘Bob Dylan’ comment. The answer is no, he is not the next Bob Dylan and to [...]
If you haven’t heard the news yet…August 3rd Chad is back in Amsterdam and will be playing the Paradiso!! Yes my fuzzy friends, time to run out and get your ticket!! The new album of Chad was recently released and I got my copy. Diaper Island is a quirky name for this newest masterpiece. In [...]
Concert review, Lloyd Cole’s Small Ensemble, 21st of April, People’s Place – Thus far Lloyd Cole has made two references to Amsterdam is his songs. I wouldn’t be surprised if after last night we will soon be honoured with a third, most likely of a similar nature as the first two. If there is something [...]
