A nice interview with Tom in a student magazine from Nijmegen (The Netherlands). A Google-translation is available here.
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)
Tom was interviewed by Studio Brussel about the Ostend Filmfestival. You can listen to it on the podcast.
A small item on the website of De Standaard with Tom talking about the fact he loves touring more than being at home. He also says he doesn't like to headline a festival as the last act because people are getting tired and are thinking of ways to get home. He also says they will browse their archives when preparing the fall tour... So which songs would you like to hear during the coming clubshows?

A small interview with Tom in The Skinny, Scotland's cutting-edge culture magazine.
A rather long interview with Tom about Vantage Point and the artwork in Alternative on Flemish Radio 1. You can listen to it on the podcast.
Mauro interviewed about Vantage Point by Kindamuzik.
(thx to Johan Vrancken)
There was an interview with Tom about Vantage Point in Brussels Vlaams (Studio Brussel) yesterday evening. Nothing special, Tom talked about Mauro, the recording progress and reviews (he isn't interested in them). He also said there will never be a woman in dEUS because that would mean the end....
You can listen to the entire interview on the podcast.
There's a very interesting interview with dEUS-manager Christian Pierre in De Standaard. It also contains some old dEUS-pics.
- Christian and Filip (Eyckmans) were schoolfriends of Tom
- They weren't musicians but they immediately started to manage the band
- Christian stopped school and became their manager
- They got loads of offers from recordcompanies after Zea, but they picked Island because they had Tom Waits and Bob Marley
- They made no commercial compromises: Little Arithmetics nearly made it to the UK Top 40, but the noisy part probably ruined that
- They started to make money independent from the recordcompany and copyrights at the time of the Ideal Crash-tour when they played all around Europe in rooms bigger that 1.000 visitors
- They sell more albums than Queens of the Stone Age in France and more than The Raconteurs in The Netherlands
- In the main cities in Europe they sell out venues from 2.000 to 4.000 places.They will go back to the States, but they're still looking for a good recordcompany that will support them 200%
Tom was interviewed shortly on Studio Brussel by Tomas De Soete yesterday afternoon. You can listen to it here. He mainly talked about the webcast next sunday and said most of the guests will join them in the studio. They will play Vantage Point entirely like it is on the cd.
You can now relisten the interview with Tom in Mezzo on the (unofficial) podcast. Tom shortly talked about the embargo-riot and said people should read this article in De Standaard from last monday.
He talks about the next album and he announces more choirs on it. Tom has already one song ready called Back to School.
