Found a nice dEUS-bio (pdf) on the website of the Flemish government.

Télémoustique has an episode of its podcast dedicated to dEUS.

Just noticed the gig in Le Florida (01/05) has been cancelled.

Update: a news-update on dEUS.be says the gig in Agen (01/05) and in Bilbao (30/4) have been cancelled due to personal circumstances.

The website from Le Florida is mentioning No Non Nein as the support act for the gig in May 1st.

Just one day after dEUS.be confirmed a bunch of festivaldates, a new festivaldate has been revealed by Alias Production. dEUS will play the Festival de Nîmes in Nîmes (France) on July 19th. dEUS will be supporting Placebo. Tickets are 38,50 €. Check my tourpage for the latest info.

dEUS.be has just confirmed most of the festivaldates I told you about earlier this week. Only Rock en Seine remains unconfirmed. They've also announced a couple of new dates:

• 29/06 Roskilde, Denmark: Roskilde Arena stage
• 15/07 Rome, Italy: Villa Ada

Check dEUS.be or my tourpage for the complete list of festivaldates.

Sorry, but my Russian is not that good anymore. Here's an article about dEUS in Russia. And here's a blogreview.

The 61 minute video from the 2nd Vorst-gig is now available for download. Marshall from ISR ripped the stream and upload the file (in 5 parts to Rapidshare). It's an edited part of the gig.

The songs in the video are:
stop-start nature
instant street
the real sugar
worst case scenario
theme from turnpike
assault on magnus
little arithmetics
what we talk about
nothing really ends
bad timing
suds & soda

Download: part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 part 5

Update: part 1 was removed from verzend.be, I upped it to Rapidshare.

Nice story. About rediscovering dEUS by accident.

(thx to Christophe)

An interview with Tom from the St. Petersburg Times.

The Ghears have been added as support act for Snow Patrol in The Forum (London) on May 5th. It's not clear who will be playing first: The Ghears or dEUS.

According to this site dEUS will play the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 12th. They're mentioning a newsletter from the record company as source, so it might be correct.

A nice set of pics from the second gig in Vorst.

A Polish band called Hariasen will support dEUS in Warsaw (May 11th). Check them out on Myspace.

dEUS will play Nighttime Öya, a sort of aftershow of the Øyafestival (August 9-12) in the Rockefeller-club. dEUS will probably play on Thursday August 10th.

Last week, dEUS played at NASA in Reykjavik. The support act was an Icelandic band called Mammút. Check them out here.

Kenny Verbeeck mailed me his review of the gig in Cambridge last week. A couple of his pics are on Flickr.

dEUS in Boston! Eigenlijk Cambridge. In TT the Bear's Place, een bar waar ooit een jong Nirvana voor 13 man zou hebben opgetreden. En zaterdag dus ons magistrale dEUS. Iets na middernacht explodeerde de zaal een eerste keer toen het publiek de neus van Barman zag verschijnen in de backstage area die enkel kan beschreven worden als een opgeruimd vatenkot van een uit de kluiten gewassen jeugdhuis.

Nevermind the setting. dEUS has entered the building! Amerikaans Vlaanderen (en enkele Walen) stonden op hun kop. Te gek voor woorden, een fluo geel zelgeschreven kaartje als toegangsticket, een stempel van een paaskonijn om binnen en buiten te lopen. Een podium ter grootte van een flightcase. Nuts. Crazy. Big in Belgium? Big in TT the Bear’s! De zaal was opgefokt door de Eastern Conference Champions en twee andere groepen, welke het gevecht om mijn aandacht met de NCAA March Madness op de obligate TV in het Cafe hadden verloren.

Tweede ontploffing: Mauro, Klaas, Tommeken en de anderen wrongen zich door het volk om het podium te beklimmen. Pataat! Direct vollen bak. dEUS kwam en had al gewonnen. Wat hen restte was een Worst Case Scenario triomftocht Via Roses en Little Arithmetics naar de Turnpike. Geen idee op welke planeet Mauro vertoefde, maar zijn gitaarspasmen werden spontaan beantwoord met een zaal ritmische nekspasmen. Barman streed op leven en dood met zijn gitaar en de
metaalmoeë microfoons, verloor daarbij een pink, maar hoewel nothing really ends, zat de Amerikaanse tour er bij deze toch op.

Hoewel Vorst misschien makkelijker bereikbaar is vanuit Zemst, Leuven of Lier, geen enkel optreden kan tippen aan de dEUS powertrip in T.T. The Bear’s Place, waar de mosh pit groter
is dan de zaal, het plafond crowdsurfers beschadigt, de luidsprekers groter dan het podium zijn en Mauro’s molenwiekende gitaarsolo de eerste drie rijen fans letterlijk raakte. Bij de volgende Amerikaanse tour van Barman en rocking buddies, boek ik een ticket naar de Verenigde Staten en oorstopjes (nu een dag later hoor ik nog steeds een megapocket revolution in mijn hoofd)!

Flemish newspaper De Tijd had a small article about the dEUS-tour in the USA last tuesday. Tom once agains says he's disappointed in the lack of support by V2 USA. He also says they might come back to the States in May or June if they can do some good support acts. He confirms they'll start working on a new album in September.

Kaye Styles, a Belgian hip hop-artist and one of the revelations of the preselections of the Belgian Eurosong-contest, tells in an interview with Het Nieuwsblad that he would like to do something with Tom.

Tijger uploaded a recording of the gig at Pukkelpop 1996 to Sendspace. It contains the encore Gimme The Heat (which is missing in most other recordings of this gig).

Some impressions from the Detroit-gig (in Dutch)

dEUS will play the Musiques en Stock-festival in Cluses (between Geneve and Chamonix) on July 6th. Check my tourpage for the latest info.

dEUS is rumored to play the Rock en Seine-festival (August 25th and 26th) in the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud just outside Paris. The first part of the line-up will be announced next monday (April 10th). One band has already been confirmed: Radiohead.

dEUS.be has confirmed Millionaire will support dEUS in Italy in May.

Footage of the second gig (61 minutes) seems to be available on Belgian Digital TV Belgacom TV and on ADSL.be. You need to be a Belgacom ADSL-customer to view/listen to it. If anyone is able to catch the audio/videostream, please let me know.

(thx to NiceneCreeder on ISR)

dEUS will play a session in the Fnac Forum in Paris on April 26th. You need an invitation to enter the gig. You can get invitations at the infodesk of Fnac Forum.

I crossed the magic number of 1000 messages on this blog today. Thanks to all of you who mailed me with info, setlists, remixes or live-recording. Thanks for all the words of praise and appreciation. It gives me the power to keep on filling this blog day by day. Week after week. Month after month.

I won't be updating the next week. I will be somewhere far away from a computer with my girlfriend and kids. Jyves will babysit the blog and will probably update from time to time. If you have something for the blog: just mail it to bartvanbelle@gmail.com. I've set up a filter that will forward anything dEUS-related to Jyves.

I will be back next weekend and you can expect some fresh info then. Meanwhile enjoy the Vorst-recording and don't hesitate to leave some words in the comments. They will give me the power to give you dEUS-addicts 1000 more posts...

Cya soon,

Bart

Het Laatste Nieuws has an article about the American tour. The reporter went to see dEUS in San Francisco. Although the tour isn't a big commercial succes (they play small venues, for mostly Belgian and Dutch expats) Tom says it's the best tour ever (but he probably means the whole Pocket Revolution-tour). They had some great parties after the gigs too. One of the roadies called dEUS the heaviest group after Happy Mondays.

The gig supporting Snow Patrol was very good. It was an excellent occassion to play their music for an almost complete American audience. The singer of Snow Patrol said during the concert that Worst Case Scenario is one of the best rock-albums ever.

Average audience is 300 people during the American tour. They won't make any profit, but if it's up to Tom they come back in September. He also wants to play Ljubljana.

dEUS has been added to the program of the Sziget-festival in Budapest (August 9-16).
