a dEUS tour diary

A big batch of tour dates was announced this morning on the brand new dEUS website (which I really dig). Ticket sales start on Wednesday, Feb. 27 (this Wednesday!) at 14h for the Belgian concerts.

And there are lots of Belgian concerts! dEUS are going to play in Wallonia for the first time in more than 12 years! This is fantastic news, and I’m sure the many, many fans living in the Southern half of Belgium will be very grateful for that. As for me (and this officially resurrected diary), I plan on going to all six Belgian gigs Charleroi & Liège cause that’s all I managed to get tickets for [edit], plus the one in Köln, and probably some French or Dutch dates.

I’d better start saving.

dEUS are back… Their new song “The Architect” was premiered this morning on Studio Brussel and it’s… different. It won’t be to everyone’s taste. But there’s a new album on its way, full of other songs, so let’s wait before we throw the whole album into the garbage bin Actually it’s a very catchy 80’s sounding song with a great melody - just not what we’ve come to associate with the dEUS sound. As a song I like it a lot. As a dEUS song, it fucks with my brain Listen to The Architect here - skip to 1:41 (will only work for a while, as this is a temporary webcast from StuBru). The song apparently draws comparisons to another Flemish band called “A Brand”, but I’ve never heard of them. They must be worth checking out.

EDIT: You can now play The Architect from the dEUS pages on MySpace and Last.fm.

And this is the album artwork - very lovely!
