555-GROOOOOOOOVE

The winds of change are here.
Last weekend started a little funny. Friday. On our way to Alterbike-Fest @ Frumoasa [Csikszepviz] in a tiny little car filled with band mebmers. Plus another car filled with drums. We were both racing against time, because we should have started at 21oo hours.
Of course we got there late, but no worries! Not even the stage was finalized, soooooo we started a little late. We made a quick and really painful soundcheck and whoopsy-daisy the Groovers from Groovie-Ville started the show, which turned out to be a great great party. Aside from technical "itches" everything was cool. My baby, Maxine, kept detuning herself for the first half of the concert, but in the second half she did ok. Anyway, we're ever so grateful for the organiser crew from Alterbike-Fest, for the sound crew and all the nice biker people around. 30 bikers made such a party, that at a point it sounded like a football stadium. We thank you for that!


Next day we got back on the road, heading towards Art Boulevard @ Bucharest, our next gig location. We got there, we ate, we admired the Great city. Our hosts were very very nice, they believed in us, in our music, and hoped for a great show from our behalf. It was our second time in Bucharest, and the audience wasn't really familiar with our name or our genre. But we did a little sound check. We drank a few Red-Bulls, and started what was to be our greatest show ever.

The Audience was fantastic, the sound was amazing, the event was organised in a way, that you just hope to be made. We never mean to brag, but you know, as time passes, you get stage-experience, you get more feeling while playing, you can focus on little things on the stage. We can proudly say that we're progressing. In sound, in feeling, in certainty, thanks to you. To you, who listenes and to you, who invites us, to you, who make our sound better, to you, who take our photos

[BIG UPS to Arthur Mustafa for these great pictures!!!], to you, who drive us half around the country and still have the energy and mood to party to our songs even though you've heard them a million times. In conclusion, we came, we sang, we went home. But... We'll be back! ---->Fat Jimmy from Groovie-Ville

Jazz it up

Naturally this is something new. So we'll keep it brief. Starting of the season is really something fantastic for all of us. We play, you listen, we bow down, you clap, we (hopefully) bring a smile to your faces, and everybody leaves home with a little more than with what they came with.
It's starting of the season for us, our 3rd season together, and it's looking good. As time goes by things evolve, cool down, change. For us these couple of years meant getting to know one another. Experimenting with styles, moods and sounds. And as we journey forward in time, we get older, wiser and calmer. Calmer to understand the music we play, calmer to play better. Of course you can't really avoid the moment of tension before each gig, but that's only because we love so much what we're doing, that we get a bit nervous before we enter the stage. But that's all cool, because if you jazz things up, there's not a slight chance that you notice the itty-bitty mistakes that we do, and if you do, we congratulate you, because what we do is for the love of it, and hey, who's perfect ?
Anyway, we're just about to jazz things up at two locations this weekend. If you're near any of them, we would love it if you come, but if you can't, there's always a next time, so hang in there.
Friday, Sept. 18th we're in concert @ Alterbike Fest Csikszepviz [Frumoasa jud. Harghita, near Miercurea Ciuc] starting from approx. 21oo hours.
Next day, Sept. 19th we're in concert @ Bulevardul Artelor in Bucharest starting from approx. 20oo hours or so.
So if you're near, and want to catch a glimpse of what we're doing, you're more than welcome to do it.
As time goes by we get tired and sleepy, and this is what happened to me, so I'll be on my way to sleepy-wonderland, so good night, good fight, don't let the bedbugs bite and see you very shortly!
Yours truly, Fat Jimmy from Groovie-Ville.
