F242 at the Effenaar in Eindhoven, was HARD!! (as in volume), but to be honest they are bit over the hill for me with all of their classic tracks getting some 'moderntechnoreworkupdate' and to it doesn't do justice to their music...it makes it even sound 'outdated'.
But there's hope, check this: Front 242 will play 2 nights in Brussels at the Ancienne Belgique on March 3 and 4 2006. The double night will celebrate Front 242's 25 years of existence. Included in these two days event will be 2 different Front 242 concerts with DJ- and band supports, late night shows in de AB-Club and special guests as well as an 'classic set' in the orginal 'warfare' setting . Also available will be an art installation and exhibition on the band's history and artwork. Since both nights will be very different one from the other, a combi-ticket will be available allowing the biggest fans to enjoy both nights. Tickets will be 24 euro per night or 40 euro for a combi ticket. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Klaas-Jan Jongsma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: woensdag 9 november 2005 19:17 Aan: Blaauw, Martijn de CC: 313@hyperreal.org Onderwerp: Re: (313) For the old-skoolers! Yay! It looks like an EBM revival Front 242 is also back on tour, missed their recent show in Eindhoven though.
