That magical feeling when leaving home and having to make sure that you bring your earplugs along. Probably the best feeling I had since returning to Holland this week. So I went for a diner dansant with Marko and Ton. Meaning we first had the Musicon Hamburger at 19:30 after which we would see our first live show in months. Saying we were needing some live music is an understatement I would say. Terribly needing to have our ears blasted open again. Heads Up to Musicon who started last week with Acrid their renewed shows in Corona times. So the venue turned into seating only and due to a smart division now 34 people in sitting by candlelight means sold out. On Friday's it is metal and on Saturday evening other musical styles can play. I hope this guarantees Musicon some covering of costs, but for sure to die-hard fans it is the best solution for the time being.
So today's band was Ten Ton John, a band I did not know. To be honest the fact that I could see and feel live music was more important than the band itself today. Turned out that TTJ blended several styles in their music. At times they were heavier grunge, than moving via groove metal to some more extreme outbursts. Their guitarist wore a Rivers of Nihil T-shirt which gave me hopes on some tech death as well, but that turned out to be one of the view heavier styles not played. Overall they played well, had some nice songs and gave us a good evening. Maybe a bit to fractioned to some, but I can repeat that noone cared as we were just pleased we have this option. Next week it is Callous Intent and Remain Untamed. Not sure if I can make it or if it is sold out already. Definitely recommended to stop by Musicon on your Friday nights again though.
