a dEUS tour diary

Erh, it’s 4.45, got back from the afterparty at Athanor Studio, that was really, really cool, VIP’s included Arno, Craig Ward (both pretty wasted), Tim Vanhamel, the girl with the black eye from AWTWB, Daan (who sports erh…. some Fidel Castro sort of beard), Stijn, and probably some others as well. Great music from the start, I have no idea who the DJ was but he sure put some groove on. In dEUS gossip news, I chatted a bit with Christian Pierre, who became a father last Monday, that’s another dEUS baby (okay, he’s not in dEUS, but he’s a supacool manager) and he told me that dEUS would play at least one more concert in Belgium next year, mmmmmh…. A bit of chatting with Alan, I was concerned about Arno (with whom he used to bass some years ago) because I’d seen him wander out of the party with some trouble, but Alan just told me that music is a transcendental way of communicating, or something, so that Arno being drunk all the time doesn’t matter. That’s how we love him anyway.
While ordering beers with Arthur, again, I got some Mauro interaction. He asked us to get him one beer, which he then generously spilled over my open wallet when giving me one big fat kiss on the cheek. Alcohol, ladies and gentlemen…
At this point, I should probably point out that I’m rather wasted myself. I never drove this stupidly fast in Brussels. Someone blame me.
So together with my good friend Anne-Sophie, we danced all night long, the place was very crowded, way muych more than yesterday, where it was a bit too quiet. But tonight was like a sauna at Athanor. There was this old man who was dancing like a mad man next to a column, I was concerned about him getting a heartstroke but he managed alright. I wonder who he is. Father of one of the guys? Whatever.
Tom was less relaxed than yesterday, I didn’t see him dancing. But I did see him having fun with some girls, and then he went to spin the plates himself, he started DJ’ing somewhere around 3 and that was pretty cool.
Oh - again, I saw some pretend male-on-male action from the boys - Mauro, Stéphane AND Klaas this time on some demonic dancing threesome. But the only guy who gets a kick from that is me of course. Can’t say that party was very interesting in terms of gay flesh. Rock’s for heteros they say. Bah.
Jesus, I shouldn’t be writing all this shit.
Ooooh, there was Maarten Vandenabeele as well, a photographer who’s worked with dEUS for a pretty long time, he was also waaaay over the top, kept photographing dancing girls like mad. I say, those dEUS parties are cool.
Apart from that erh….. I dunno, my mind’s a blur. I’m gonna try go get 3 hours sleep before work.

Oh yeah - remind me to talk about the goddamn CONCERT tomorrow. I recorded the first 3 songs, then just danced and screamed and shouted and pissed the people around me.

I love this band.
