Racoon @ Effenaar
November 27th, 2005 by JayJay
The best band of The Netherlands, at least at this moment (bite me!), continued its victory lap (which has been going on for quite some time now) in Eindhoven last thursday. Project Another Day has been very succesful, since a substantial part of the Dutch population is now infected by a virus called Racoon… The audience had to work its way towards the gig though, since support act Born wasn’t what they came for.
Finally, at nine thirty, the lights go down. Bart, lead singer, steps up, gets out his harmonica to play an intro, and the band blows us away with their opening track Autumn Tunes. His voice needs some warming up, but after a couple of songs they’re really hitting hard. Party anthems and pretty love songs follow: Blue Days, Happy Family, Smoothly, Feels Like Flying, Got To Get Out. It doesn’t seem like the quartet is suffering from a lack of self-confidence, playing all the tracks from their latest album.
They sound mature. We all get saturday night fever from Eric’s Bar (”Watskeburt?!”-edit!) and the whole venue sings along with mega-hit Love You More, which shows how Racoon has returned onto the scene this year. While hardcore fans tend to know every lyric to every song, with this song it’s different. The entire audience yells along, from intro to applause. Every single person feels a shiver going down his or her spine. At that moment you realise the Effenaar really is something special, like your local pub, but with incredible acoustics. Too bad the show only lasted for one-and-a-half hour…

Sorry Yoze, onze fout maar misschien had je er iets bij moeten zetten, niet iedereen is bekend met het oeuvre van Racoon en je comment had een hoog linkspamgehalte. Biertje?
