This is my first encounter with five of the Switchfoot species which I have been admiring from afar for about more than 5 years. I chanced upon them randomly by zapping TV channels and seeing the Meant To Live video (probably the only time it was ever seen on Dutch television). Somehow I became a fan, ending up buying most of their albums and getting sucked into the awesomeness for years. My most favorite album is Nothing Is Sound, although Hello Hurricane may be surpassing it soon. The most loved song has to be Faust, Midas and Myself for the musical imagery. They were at the beginning of my passion for (listening to) music. I barely listened to music before that. They’re really inspiring and are pretty much the only musical artist I have an emotional tie with so far.

Before the concert I spent the day at my younger brother’s place where I was staying for the night, ’cause I wasn’t going back to my own place at the ungodly hour of 1 AM. Blah blah blah. We ate spaghetti. Blah blah blah.

Anyway, here’s my review of the evening. This marked the first visit to the Melkweg, which was somewhere hidden in an alleyway and the GPS on my phone wasn’t working. Can I blame the weather? We got in and went to sit on the left balcony where we got a pretty good view if we craned our necks to the side. More >
