A small notice to let you know that this blog is now integrated in a bigger site about dEUS. Browse to www.hotellounge.be and update your bookmarks. The rss-feeds, Facebookpage and Twitter-account of this blog are already linked to that new site.

Don't worry, this page will remain online. I will bring most information to the new site in the following months though.

See you soon on www.hotellounge.be!

Keep You Close (the single) is now also available in the Belgian iTunes Store. You can download it here.

The complete dEUS-gig at Into The Great Wide Open is now online at 3voor12.nl. You can watch it here.

Next wednesday auditions for the Keep You Close-video will be held in London. A casting call on Starnow tells us a bit more about the concept behind the video:

The music video 'Keep You Close' follows the idea of love being represented universally, the desire to be close to something or someone, the feeling of being part of something bigger.

It will be shot mainly in with macro lenses, intercut with time lapse images, often in slow motion. Set in a forest, the video starts with macros of animals and the general environment that are unrecognizable, this will also include human macro of skin, eyes and hair.

There will be two human characters who are intimately moving together, again most of which will be shot on macro to be revealed at the end of the video in a mid shot, where we will see the couple entwined together. Shot in tasteful and non-vulgar manner. This will also be cut with wider shots of to reveal the animals and forest environment.

Both roles will require full nudity for the final shot, but low nude-shade underwear could be worn. All the macro shot can be shot partly clothed.

Last thursday, Tom & Mauro were interviewed during Villa Vanthilt, a talkshow on Flemish tv. They talk about the new album, the video for Constant Now and the upcoming Belpop-special.

Tom told a bit about the Keep You Close-cover during Villa Vanthilt yesterday evening.

The cover shows two enthemologist (people studying bugs). Tom saw the photo in a newspaper. They contacted the photographer and he first thought they were making a joke.

According to the site of booking agency Quiet Concerts, Balthazar will be supporting dEUS during the first part of the Keep You Close tour. The website is listing Balthazar as the support act for the following gigs.

11/10/11: Koko, London
12/10/11: Olympia, Dublin
14/10/11: Ouest Park Festival, Le Havre
19/10/11: La Laiterie, Strasbourg

During Villa Vanthilt yesterday evening a small piece of the upcoming Belpop-broadcast was shown. It was about the name dEUS. Apparently Tom was eager to have a bandname with a link to god. One of the names they considered was The Godmothers....

A livestream of the Into The Great Wide Open Festival is available here. dEUS will play tomorrow (saturday) from 21.15 hour until 22.30 hour.

During Villa Vanthilt some footage of the recording of the Constant Now video was shown. Apparently the band will be dressed as entemologists.

There will finally also be a Belpop-documentary about dEUS. It will be shown one on the following months on Canvas.

A couple of days ago the official I Suffer Rock forum was taken down because the band decided to focus on a select number of (social and music oriented) sites. Arthur did a great job running The ISufferRock Community for more than 10 years and he deserves our eternal respect for connecting dEUS-fans all over the world.

Since some people were asking for a new forum, I've dediced to setup a new one. It's called Nothing Really Ends and you can find it at www.hotellounge.be/forum.

Since some of you will probably go sniffing on Hotellounge.be as well: that's a new site I'm building. I'm planning to release it somewhere around the release of Keep You Close. The site is still work in progress, but if you notice any errors, be sure to drop me a line.

dEUS will play at Case-à-Choc in Neuchâtel (Switzerland) on December 6th. Tickets are available here. And on December 3rd, the band will be in Zürich to play the Rote Fabrik.

Flemish digital tv-station will broadcast a track by track-special about Keep You Close on Thursday September 15th. Tom and co will talk about each song on the album. The broadcast starts at 22.40 hour.

dEUS will do a live-session for One Shot Not (Arte) tomorrow evening. You can follow it live here at 20.30 hour.

In an interview with Dutch website Fok.nl Mauro tells a bit more about the ep's with songs that didn't made it to Keep You Close. Two ep's will be released at the beginning of 2012. They will contain a couple of popsongs, but also some ritmic tracks.

dEUS will play the Into The Great Wide Open-festival in Vlieland (The Netherlands) on Saturday September 3rd. The festival was already sold out before dEUS was added to the line-up.

Flemish digital tv Acht TV will broadcast the gig dEUS played at Lowlands next thursday at 22.00 hour.

dEUS has recorded a message in which they dedicate their Lowlands 2011 concert of August 19th to everyone affected by the Pukkelpop tragedy.

dEUS dedicated the gig at Lowlands yesterday evening to the victims of the Pukkelpop-disaster and their families. You can watch the gig online here.

Constant Now will be released as the first single in the UK on September 26th.

dEUS.be announced a bunch of new tourdates this weeks for Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxemburg.

As most of you probably know the Pukkelpop-festival has been cancelled after a heavy storm struck the festivalarea yesterday evening, leaving 5 people death and many more wounded.  dEUS left a couple of words of Twitter: Our thoughts are with everyone at Pukkelpop right now

Acht TV will broadcast the dEUS-gig from Pukkelpop 2009 tomorrow evening at 22.55 hour.

The result of Studio Brussel's Pukkelpop-setlist voting:

1. Suds & Soda (Worst Case Scenario)
2. Instant Street (The Ideal Crash)
3. Roses (In A Bar, Under The Sea)
4. Hotellounge (Be the death of me) (Worst Case Scenario)
5. The Architect (Vantage Point)
6. Nothing Really Ends (Pocket Revolution)
7. Little Arithmetics (In A Bar, Under The Sea)
8. Via (Worst Case Scenario)
9. Disappointed In The Sun (In A Bar, Under The Sea)
10. Bad Timing (Pocket Revolution)

They called Klaas to talk about it. He hoped that Zea would be in the list and is also a bit disappointed that the listeners did not pick more less known songs.

On the 3voor12-website you can now also vote to get your favorite dEUS-songs on the setlist for Lowlands.  You can pick three songs here.

Humo has a nice series about the girls behind rocksongs. One of the first songs they talked about was Magdalena, one of my personal dEUS-favorites.

Magdalena Przybylek had a relation with Tom at the end of 1998, during the recording sessions of The Ideal Crash. She met Tom on a party at Danny Mommens' place and they exchanged numbers. The song does perfectly describe their relationship. 'Now you're holding back, and I'm holding on'.

They had a relationship for about a year, but since Tom was touring that period, Magdalena says two months would be more correct. She even joined the band on tour and was 'impressed' by the dirty state of the tourbus.

She's not following dEUS anymore these days. Her son is called Deuce, but that's after Deuce Bigalow, one of her favorite movies.

As announced a couple of weeks ago, the gig at Pukkelpop will mark the end of a dEUS live-era. The Keep You Close-tour will have completely different setlists than the gigs the last couple of years.

For the gig at Pukkelpop, dEUS gives the fans the possibility to choose their favorite songs and perhaps these oldies will be played live at  the festival.

You can post your top-3 dEUS-songs on the Studio Brussel-website. There's also a small competition. The winners get a duo-tickets for Pukkelpop. (The answer is somewhere on this blog ;-))

A small album description on Amazon.fr reveals the other track of Keep You Close featuring Greg Dulli. Dulli sings also on Twice.

dEUS will perform at the Estragon in Bologna on December 7th and at Magazzini Generali in Milan on December 8th. Ticket sale will start tomorrow on www.ticketone.it

Keep You Close, the title-track of the new album, can now be downloaded in the French iTunes Store and on eMusic.

A new teaser for Keep You Close has been posted on Youtube. The first teaser can still be watched here.

Tom Barman compiled a  Ten Songs For A Succulent Summer for Q Magazine. In the article Tom says Balthazar will support dEUS during their autumn tour.

In an interview with Pure FM (in French) Tom talks a bit about the upcoming gigs. They will not really change their setlist, before the start of the Keep You Close-tour in October. So we can expect three of four new songs on the setlist until then.

They will rethink their live-shows for the new tour, since they're touring with more or less the same setlists for a couple of years now. Tom said that  Pukkelpop will be the end of an era and they're thinking about giving fans the chance to create the setlist for that gig. More info on this should become available the following weeks.

As some of you have noticed, dEUS launched a brand new website today. So far, it only contains a news-section and the tourdates for the upcoming tour, but more content will be added soon. The site is available on www.deus.be

The url www.keepyouclose.com is forwarded to a page on the new website where you can see one of the teasers for the album.

The most interesting thing so far, is a new episode of the dEUS Podcast, looking back to the short tour the band did at the end of May.

dEUS now also has a Soundcloud-account. Guess what: you can listen to Constant Now over there. Enjoy!

dEUS - Constant Now by dEUSbe

Buy Constant Now at the Belgian or Dutch iTunes-store.

Constant Now is available at the Belgian and Dutch iTunes-store.

Tom talking about the new single on Studio Brussel this morning. He also says they had trouble with the mastering of the album.

You can listen to a snippet of the single here.

In an interview with French Virgin Radio Tom says they're planning to add some extra live tracks to the album release. Tom was apparently very happy with the Constant Now-version at Musilac this weekend.

A video has been uploaded to Youtube today. It presented by the uploader as the official video for Keep You Close. I checked with the dEUS-management  and this video is NOT the official video for the single.

A couple of UK webzines are reporting on the release of Keep You Close. However, they're mentioning October 3rd as the release date. Most probably, the album will be released in the UK a couple of weeks later then in mainland Europe.

Shout4Music has some interesting lines about the background of the album as well. Sit back and enjoy!

As the title suggests, ‘Keep You Close’ sees lead singer and lyricist Tom Barman react to ‘Vantage Point’ with a determination to return the band to a more personal lyrical style and a warmer musical approach. Whilst still immensely proud of ‘Vantage Point’, Tom felt that its follow up should move away from that album’s ‘very loud, in your face’ sound. Consequently, much of the focus of ‘Keep You Close’ has been to develop a sound that embraces a more organic and spacious dynamic. To aid this process, and in stark contrast to the studio bound writing approach of ‘Vantage Point’, the songs that make up ‘Keep You Close’ were road tested live at festivals throughout the writing and recording period and developed through live rehearsals within the studio to, in Tom’s words, ensure that they were ‘more mature when it came to recording them’.

A couple of songs of the gig at VPRO's Club Llow are available on the 3voor12-website. Watch them here. The first song (Slow) and the new song (Ghost) are missing.

Keep You Close, the title track of the new dEUS album, is track of the day on Magicrpm. It will be online for 24 hours. Click here to listen. It's the first high-quality version of the song, since the radiorip which popped up a couple of weeks ago.

dEUS will perform the Olympia Theatre in Dublin on October 12th. Tickets will go on sale starting this Friday July 15th via http://www.ticketmaster.ie/

In an interview with French webzine Musiqueinfo.com Tom confirms that Keep You Close will be the single in France, while Constant Now will be the single in the rest of the world, except for Germany. It's not clear if Germany will also get Keep You Close.


Tom was surprised that the French affiliation of PIAS picked Keep You Close, a 6-minute song he didn't intend to be a single. Tom went back in the studio to record a radio-edit of the song.

A bunch of new tourdates has been announced today.

• 18/10/11 : Vega, Copenhagen (Denmark)

Catherina listened a couple of times to Keep You Close and did an attempt to write down the lyrics. I think she did a great job. If you have corrections, leave them in the comments.


You  were young
You had time
In your hands and I
Was a moment …
… to die so low
All the time I had to keep you close
Not finding me now
How we must have hurt
To see all of your love and care
Only work a little while and then I go
All the time I had to keep you close
What you feel is what you get
You know there is no answer fit
We broke the code so long ago
I`m going to keep you ever close
Just like on the day we met
You pulling on me like a cigarette
So like the seaholes to the shore
I`m going to keep you ever close

Now the years turn away to make you forget
Make me stare at the same place …
… at path we are on
 is the path we chose
I still remember how to keep you close
Linger on, linger on in this … things
…
Dreams still come true
It`s the way it goes
And in the meantime I will hold you close
And in my heart and in my head
You are the only dream I dreamed
The fear will keep me on my toes
I`m going to keep you ever close
Just like on the day we met
You pulling on me like a cigarette
So like the seaholes to the shore
I`m going to keep you ever close
So is this what they mean about moving on
Is this really the end
You won`t stick around on one of that days
You are the one that throws
I`m the one that is kept you close
… of constant change
Transformission  … don’t stays the same
Cold is the breeze but forever blows
One of the hands that would have had kept you close
… head …
So when I see should I just pretend
The flower is cut but it still grows 
I`m going to keep you ever close
Just like on the day we met
I`m pulling on you like a cigarette
So like the seaholes to the shore
I`m going to keep you ever close
