Brussels - The Grand'Place

Oh yeah, the concerts last night on the Grand’Place were well worth it. I didn’t get into Luke Vibert too much, his act felt more like background music - due the usual problems with the live music laptop brigade I guess. On the other hand, Jamie Lidell entertained us with some pretty hardcore barrages of sound and his typical vocal prowess. Bogdan Raczinsky took it one step further with a bass-heavy energy-laden gig that had a good part of the crowd going pretty crazy. And all this on one of Europe’s architectural jewels, unbelievable! I sincerely hope this isn’t a one-off. My only gripe would be that they could have at least featured one Belgian act, they should be promoting local talent.
