The band "nada surf" had a big success in 1996. How come, I have never heard of them?

On 17th of october the band gave a concert in the paard van troje in Den Haag.

The band around foreman Matthew Caws used to play punk, but their music now more is agreeable pop-rock for a pleasant night out.

The main attraction of the band for sure was the bassist Daniel Lorca.

That is exactly how a rock musician should look like 

And of course he did not have any problems changing a string of his guitar in the middle of a song

The band was supported by Ezra Furman and the Harpoons, however, I could not detect any harpoons, if not one of them is his guitar.

However, his powerful and sad songs (fitting to his a bit awkward and helpless appearance on the stage), made a great impression and I look forward to see him again.

and the lonely smoker....

Tour into the galaxy....

 

The Danish band "the asteroids gelaxy tour" played the paard last Thursday

Vocalist Mette Lindberg ist the bands center piece 

The band was formed in 2007 and so far has produce two albums
