they created such a vibe that anyone would lose it.
They had a cool installment of devices. Hmm, now I think about it, I saw them hanging a big flag of a London bridge, but it was
hanging after another flag so you couldn't see it anymore. I don't think they dropped the front flag during the show, or I missed
it... they also had some normal sized flags of the ant from their logo. Nice too!
Liam, in white, in the centre behind his desks, at the right of him a drummerboy - he was quite good! - and at the left a dude with
a guitar. Maxim & Keith were going from left to right, Maxim entered the crowd once - cool!
I must say Keith didn't sing much. He didn't seem to have a lot of energy. So most of the lyrics and talk came from Maxim.
They played a little over 1 hour and I must admit, I thought I was a fan, but they had a lot of songs I didn't knew. I just put in
AONO in my cd-player to maybe recognize some more tracks, since I only listened to that cd maybe 4 times...
So what I know they did:
Spitfire
something with "take you back to school"
Their Law
Voodoo People - cool edit!
Poison
Breathe
Diesel Power
Smack My Bitch Up
Out Of Space

So it was Lokerse Feesten (10days), Lokeren, Belgium Friday Aug 10th 2007.
Lokerse Feesten was fun & cool years ago, and it used to be free! Big international names came here. Then they started asking money,
not much - like 1 euro. But year after year they double the entrance and today it's 26 euro to get into the place where the big
music people play. So I never went again when they started asking money, until a friend of mine told me who was coming this year...
I owe him one, he didn't even go himself, poor guy.
line-up of that day, start 20h:
Stijn - Belgian electro dude, was good untill he got too famous and began doing other stuff www.mijnlabel.com/
Audio Bullys - just too slow for me, but they had some nice moments. We Belgians are good in organisation, so when the singer just
kept on rhyming at the end of the set, the festival's announcer came in and talked over him! How low can you go :) but the show must
go on I guess... www.myspace.com/audiobullys
Ed & Kim - two DJs, they did it by the books. Most DJs on Lokerse Feesten are just programmed between shows, it was no different for
these guys. The DJ booth was off-stage, and I think they couldn't even see the crowd. We could see them by video-link. Started easy
and slow Audio Bullys-style but kept heating it up more & more successfully(!), cuz yeah, what's next... www.edenkim.be/
Prodigy - why I came, and a lot of people from Holland too! I don't know how international people look at Belgium, but most of the
performers called us "the Belgian people" - like everyone from Belgium was on that place that night. Maxim did it too, and a few
times I heard him try to pronounce "Lokeren", hehe.
Dr Lektroluv - a Belgian DJ who thought he wasn't famous enough, so he put on a green costume and uses an old telephone as
headphones, and there you go: an act was born. He only plays elektromusic and was this years Rock Werchter's only DJ (like that says
anything...). Big speculating is going on of who the real DJ is behind the mask, some say he is more than 1 person, but fuck it. It
was wrong of programming him after Prodigy. He killed the buz, and "fancy-clubpeople" came in to dance on his music, so that was my
cue to leave.
