Studio Brussel had a small interview with Victor-Camille en Tosca, two girls from the Popular Culture-choir.

For those of you who are going to Werchter: stop reading!
For the other ones: the kids choir will join dEUS on stage next sunday during Popular Culture.

Dutch newspaper BN De Stem has an interview with Tom.

• He talks about his relationship with time: ever since he was a child, he's been wondering how things would be in the future, and since his father died, he's been wondering how long he'd live.


• He says that dEUS is and has always been his band, but that he's always been surrounded by people who could do their own thing.
  


• About Popular Culture, the closing song on Vantage Point: according to the reporter it's the poppiest dEUS song ever, both ironic and dead serious in its lyrics (we are defined by pop culture). Tom says that Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni are the ultimate exemple of "high culture" and "low culture" getting together.

Update: there's also a short item about dEUS' upcoming try-out concert at Mezz in Breda. Asked why they want to play there in particular, Tom says:

It's a wonderful venue. The infrastructure is excellent, and so is their hospitality. To us, it is the perfect place to test our sound and our lightshow. I remember well our concert there in the summer of 2004. I almost died on stage, it was so hot! Inside the band we always call Mezz the mussel. Because of that shape.

Found on the Vantage Point product page at Amazon.de: this promotional video for the album, with the band rehearsing Bad Timing, a part of the Slow video, and a message to "girls & boys" by Tom.

"hello girls & boys! i'm tom barman, from deus. we're recording our new album, vantage point, in this studio, in antwerp, belgium. we're bringing it out on april 18th. we hope you like it as much as we do. bye bye!"

On that page there's also a review of the album in German, with some info about Popular Culture: there's a line that goes "If you don't come from the States you will always be late in popular culture", complete with a children choir.
