A nice present from dEUS on the official podcast: Tom and Mauro playing The Architect unplugged.

Tom interviewed about the tour, the new videoclip and the new album. He says they're planning to finish and release the new album in 2009. And he hopes to continue touring as well since the album is released in Australia and Japan. And they're gonna do some festivals also next summer....

I've setup a little dEUS-quiz. Questions were made by me and Paul. Enjoy!

Tom went to see the boxfight of Sugar Jackson vs Carlos Baldomir last weekend. He was interviewed shortly in this tv-item. Tom says he respects athletes a lot because they have to be at their best during the game. If they have a bad day, they lose. According to Tom it's not that bad to have a bad day on stage, because you can always hide it.

I know it's difficult to compare gigs, but since I saw dEUS 10 times the last months, I decided to make my personal top-10 of dEUS-gigs this year.

Two more reviews of The Vanishing Of Maria Schneider

Oh boy. They sure did save the best for last. Great sound, great crowd, great gig. I was standing front row right before Klaas. What a difference compared to wednesday when I was sitting somewhere in the back.

The first part of setlist was mainly the same as on wednesday. The big difference was the fact they skipped Let's See Who Goes Down First during the regular set and immediately jumped from Bad Timing to If You Don't Get What You Want, followed by Suds & Soda. Since Bad Timing is a real crowd pleaser, they could easily stretch the vibe. Wednesday they more or less broke it by playing a rather calm and less known song. And I shouldn't tell you the extactic crowd reaction during Instant Street.

They kicked of the encores with Magdalena. It felt so good to hear that song again after all those years. I don't like the new version of Little Arithmetics without the outro. They probably leave it out to make the fade in to Oh Your God smoother, but it just doesn't fit well. The first part of the encores ended with Serpentine.

They came back a second time. I was thinking they would only play Roses, but they started with Let's See Who Goes Down First. And Roses was a brilliant ending of another brilliant gig.

RTBF broadcasted an item on the making of The Ideal Crash. You can listen to it on the podcast.

Tom will deejay at Bal09, Brussels's most exclusive New Year's Eve party. Since it's Tom's birthday, you can probably expect a real party-set.

On January 19, Belgian singer Axelle Red will release a new album called "Sisters & Empathy". That's her first record in English (she usually sings in French). The record will feature a duet with Tom Barman, and Mauro Pawlowski also contributes guitar parts.

It's not the first time Axelle and Tom sing together: back in 2000, Axelle joined Tom on stage at the Dranouter Festival, where they sang Serpentine. That performance was later released as a bonus track to Axelle Red's best-of album.

Tom Barman also directed Axelle Red's video for her 1995 single "Le Monde tourne mal".

A quick review of the first Vorst-night. Although it was my nineth dEUS-gig this year, I was really looking forward to the first night in Vorst. I have great memories of the previous dEUS-gigs in Vorst (March 2006) and I was hoping it would even be better this time.

Compared to other gigs I saw in Vorst, the sound was ok during most of the songs. And they more or less played the same set as in Tilburg (they only added Serpentine). No suprises, no special guests, just a super sharp gig with brilliant versions of Instant Street, Bad Timing and Roses as my personal highlights.

There was also a small lightshow, really sober, but very nice. The only thing I was missing were big screens. We were sitting in the back and it's a shame most of the people were missing close ups of the band and Mauro's coolness.

It's also strange to see that the audience will only go crazy on the oldies. Ok, it wasn't a very young audience, but reaction on The Architect was very lame. Still this gig was one of the best I saw this year. And there's even more tonight....

A new episode of the official podcast is available. It's about the tour in Luxembourg and The Netherlands.

There's a small interview with Tom on the Le Soir-website. Tom says it's normal the crowd reacts more on Instant Street than on The Architect. Songs need some time to install them in the public's mind.

They are planning to record a new album in 2009 and they also want to do some gigs in places they've never been before.

Just before Tom gets on stage he lights another cigarette.

(thx to Jyves)

Next thursday there will be an afterparty at Recyclart in Brussels. It's invitation only, but Recyclart is giving away 50*2 tickets over here. Just send an e-mail to info@reclyclart.be with the subject-line JE VEUX ETRE TOM BARMAN.

As the Vantage Point-tour is nearly over, I grabbed my chance to go and check out dEUS in a regular venue before the grand apotheose in Vorst Nationaal later this week. It was the first time I went to 013 in Tilburg and the venue is really cool: the stage is wide, the room has an arena-feeling due to the stairs and there's a nice balcony. I bet everybody had a great view on the stage.

We arrived around eight o' clock, just in time to catch Expatriate. The Australians did a great job as a support act. Not that impressive as The Blackbox Revelation during the spring-tour, but nice enough to get in the right mood.

dEUS came on stage around nine o'clock. The first part of the gig was more or less the same that during the Amsterdam-gigs. I saw the first Amsterdam-gig on the internet and noticed that things have changed a lot since the last time I saw dEUS in July this year on Rock Werchter.

It's obvious that the band now has almost total control on the live-aspect of the Vantage Point-songs. And it's great that a couple of oldies have made it to the setlist again. It's so nice to hear Everybody's weird or Let's See Who Goes Down First again. And Little Arithmetics and Morticiachair during the encores. They also played Eternal Woman, but without Lies Lorquet. Alan did Lies' lines. No Serpentine or Magdalena, but let's hope they keep that one for Vorst (on both nights please ;-)).

Two funny moments: when Tom was hit by his guitar while changing guitars before Instant Street, he asked for a tissue. Somebody threw a sac of paper tissues on stage. Tom said thank you and Mauro asked if somebody had a christmas tree. And Klaas made a mistake during one of the violin-bridges of Morticiachair. Instead of Drop the phone Mauro sang Drop the song...

Tilburg was nice. Tilburg was great. And I bet Vorst will even be greater.

João mailed me a review of the gig in Porto. Enjoy!

dEUS went up to the stage at 22:00 after a half hour anxious wait on the small and old venue in Porto. Finally they arrived with their usual charm and start playing When she comes down, the sound was great and I could hear everything from the great bass playin from Alan to the high notes of Klaas violin so it was great, and it was loud, very loud.

First song sounded even better that in the record (as almost all of the last record) and it ended up very aggressive. No stops right into the beautiful bass line of stop start nature with Barman taking the front of the stage almost with the public singing the verse of the song. So they have conquered the public. A little break and changing Tom’s guitar. Said good night and asked for F.C. Porto result on the Champions League (we lost) and straight ahead to instant street and was the first great moment of the evening, the song is great we all know, but live it is just orgasmic, going up until it blows at the end almost cross-faded with Fell of the floor, so, if the idea was to breathe between song, just forget it, you could not even think.

Fell of the floor got everyone dancing with its powerful spirit and again it ended as Slow had begun it was cool and passed the soul of the song in the album. “You want a crunch hit?” Tom asked this three times and then Theme From Turnpike, well this song is just amazing and then we can see Mauro in great shape screaming those savages noises in the furious climbing up phase of the song ending in very very noise and again, no stop to the mystic intro of smokers reflect, everybody singing and dancing very slow.

Then Barman, call Bucky and we got The Architect, now the theatre was like a disco, everybody crazy dancing and shaking hands, this one was better than I expected and Mauro got it great in the duet with Tom. Favorite game started and to be sincere I only recognized it with singing because I was thinking it was Is a robot, maybe I was confused already with the show, so great it was. Favorite game, a great rock anthem in this live performance, always very high and very fast and loud, as all the show.

Then we went to the most amazing sequence of dEUS songs I heard, Nothing really ends, great, great, great it’s all I can say, great changes made oh the song and now it holds for itself in the shows and I ended in a very loud and messy noise on purpose so we could pass right to Bad Timing, great song, great playing. Layer over layer, it’s very complicated to do that without fail but they one that perfect and it was a perfect walk to the higher point of the song. If you don’t get what you want brought the madness to the venue again, everybody dancing and singing.

And after that Suds & soda, it’s amazing how this song 14 years later is still so fresh, and the crowd answered and so, it’s hard to not jump as it’s hard to choose if you want to sing or if you want to scream Friday. Alan is playing much better this song (better then the last show I saw in 2006), Stephen in great drum playing and everything perfect. The song ended on the “can I break your sentiment” and passed to Oh Your God, in one hand I liked the transition but in another I missed the orgasmic last part of Suds & soda but if they done the last part was better to finish the show I think, so they went through Oh Your God and very well, so much noise and so much rhythm, this one just leaves anyone seeing things going around.

Then a stop and talk between Klaas and Tom, Klaas wanted to leave Tom wanted to stay one more song, so Tom won and Mauro said “bad meeting” and they played to the delight of everyone Magdalena, beautiful ending before the encore. This was the fastest break I’ve ever seen. One minute and a half out of stage and they were back again.

Tom Barman said that here in Portugal he has some bad habits and that we have bad habits to and the Roses everybody clapping and stop everything and Tom “You see? Bad habits! You don’t clap roses! You just snap your fingers.” It’s great the interaction between band and the crowd here in Portugal. So roses started and now it was for real. Great, it’s all I can say. Then Pocket Revolution with its dark ambience, very nice indeed. And then another classic that nobody expected for, Little Arithmetics and everybody singing the song and shaking hands to chaos that the song became at the end (a lovely chaos must say).

Then, Serpentine, full of soul and meaning. After that What we talk about in a much more rock version and much more fun than the record versionThe end, with the presentation of Mauro Pawlowski with a great applause, that was truly deserved because he was great during the whole show, and then he proved it again with Morticiachair, I was expecting this song but the most of the crowd don’t so it was a real surprise to everyone and well, A great ending. The song suits very well in Mauro’s voice and attitude.So in the end, this was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen and the cheapest one.

dEUS are in real great shape and now they really work as a band (in comparison with 2006 show) and they all seem to have great joy in playing not only the new songs but also the old ones that we all love. Can’t wait for the next show. Those were two great hours of show and I’m still trying to believe that they played 21 songs. Great.

A blogger's review of the gig in Dublin.

dEUS at Tripod on Monday night were ridiculously good, playing with such power and skill that I felt both sickened and highly relieved that bands like The Red Hot Chili Peppers sell out stadiums at massively inflated prices, whilst groups as good as this one have to toil away in pub-sized venues, charging 25 euro a head.

Apparently an artist called Johnny Foreigner has 'stolen' a few lines from Hotellounge for his song Absolute Balance. You can listen to the song on Last.FM.

“You see that girl...” is from ‘Hotellounge’ by dEUS, one of the best songs ever written. Tom Barman, the singer, stole words from REM for the album that song’s on, so I felt I was more carrying on a tradition than stealing art.

A new episode of the official podcast has been published, including this video-impression of the trip to Portugal.

The official videos for Eternal Woman and Favourite Game have found their way to the Audio/video-page on dEUS.be. They will probably appear on the dEUS-Youtube-channel too.

(thx to Tijs)

Eternal Woman is track of the day on Q Radio, the internetradio of Q Magazine. They describe dEUS as ,,probably the most consistent and long-faring act of the past couple of decades''.

About Eternal Woman:

Eternal Woman is taken from the band’s most recent album Vantage Point (astonishingly only their fifth when you consider that next year they mark their 20th year), and is a dreamy, string-bathed, harmony-rich beauty with an understated trebley, chiming acoustic guitar riff.

According to this article the Eternal Woman-single will be released on September 8th.

3 songs from the gig at Oxegen are also available on Dimeadozen. Here's the torrent.

I received an interesting mail from Dennis yesterday evening. He has made a torrent-file of a demo-tape from the The Ideal Crash-sessions in 1998. It contains 5 songs, including early demo-versions of Instant Street, Sam Peckinpah's Daughter and Sister Dew. Too titles on the tape have made their way in other versions: Snuck Out became Magdalena and Sixth & The Last became One Advice, Space.

The torrent is available here. (I've asked Dennis permission to publish it in mp3-format for those of you who don't have acces to Dime)

Tom was interviewed by Studio Brussel about the Ostend Filmfestival. You can listen to it on the podcast.
