Leo and the Lunar Tikis
Last night I went to the Tropa Bar, conveniently opposite the Monk to see one of my favourite bands. They were on top form and included a great cover of Purple Haze.

Leo and the Lunar Tikis
Went along to see this fun band playing at an Upfront cocktail night. I't been a long while since I've seen a decent 'local band', having spent my youth listening to an endless stream of untalented dirge.
The Lunar Tikis have a few good things going for them. first of all, they're fun, they enjoy playing and show it. Secondly they have some good songs and mix in a few 60's classics, but they perform them with a vim and vigour that seperates them from a lounge band.
They're also nice people. That helps, so I hope people will check them out.

peruvians
A group of Peruvians have taken over rue Neuve for some time now. Usually they're just selling various faux-ethnic goods whilst keeping an eye out for the police, but sometimes they really go for it.
Ever since Clannard and so on in the eighties, the worlds city centers have been plagued with the sound of pan pipes. Now they are very pleasant, but like bagpipes, have a limited range and one quickly tires of it. Especially when they appear to be using Motorhead's sound system. I get the feeling that if they get the right note they would smash every window in cite 2.
So, out come the budgie costumes. It all sounds like an Andean birdy song, but is quite nice to see and hear for a few seconds. After that, I find it irritating.

Dixie Boys Band
Wandering around the Grand Place before the start of the 2007 Brussels Jazz Marathon, I came across a horse carrying a cart of jazz musicians. With cow T-shirts. Apparently they were promoting Wallonian cheese, though there didn't seem to be any samples for me to nibble on.
I'm not too keen on Dixie jazz, at least, not until I hear it being played live and with pace and enthusiasm and these guys were very good. They're appearing throughout the next few days here and there throughout the day, so if you see - or more likely, hear the Wallonian cow cheese Dixie jazz horse and cart, check it out and check out the website of the musicians, the Dixie Boys Band. Great fun.
