After many months of writing new numbers, creating sounds and rehearsing, we are finally ready to let the world hear this new Minus56 set! I am really happy to get on stage again and can't wait to play. All numbers we are playing are new and never played (by me) in other settings. The sound is new, the songs are new, what else can we possibly want!

Now we're done creating the first demo CD I'm looking forward to the concerts. I've always liked playing covers, but now we play some covers in Minus56 style and sound.

For example "Hand in my pocket" by Alanis Morisette sounds really fresh and new, but remains very recognizable.

Using virtual instruments in a live situation

As i mentioned earlier in my blog, the plan is to go 100% virtual the next concert. This means 100% relying on computers which still in this new century aint 100% reliable as you probably all know. And to shock some people even more, i'm using Windows 7! At this moment all Mac users will probably stop reading, but try to hang on because i know for a fact that Mac's also crash (yes it's true).

Patrick & Martine go unplugged

Thu, 02/25/2010 - 13:43

In the summer of 2009 and 2010 Patrick and Martine had a gig at the Horecaplein in Geldrop. In just one week of rehearsing they accomplished a setlist of 13 songs.

A variety of Dutch pop songs (Blof, Clouseau) combined with classics (CCR, Jimmy Hendrix) all in a beautiful unplugged style were presented on these sunny summer days.
