A quick report of the interview with Christian Pierre and Bob Savenberg in Knack.
- Christian is happy about the success of the tour
- Musickness were a bunch of cowboy: they combined arrogance with risctaking investments
- As a manager you need affinity with the music your artists make
- It's the 10th dEUS line-up and every line-up had its problems.
- They only lose money on the gigs in the USA. V2 USA gave too little support
- Image is everything: covers, pics, ...
- Some marketingcompany wanted to use Bad Timing for an Aids-campaign. They refused because the song would lose it's original meaning. They offered Nothing Really Ends instead, because it contains hope, but it was rejected by the advertiser
Knack also published a powerlist of the Belgian musicscene. Here's the top-3:
- Herman Schueremans (Live Nation, Rock Werchter)
- dEUS
- Koen & Kris Wauters (Clouseau)
There's also a list of the best-selling Belgian artists of 2005. Laura Lynn tops the list (82.000 cd's) before dEUS and Belle Perez.
According to Studio Brussel Bad Timing will be the next single. They don't mention if it will be released as a cd or just as a radio only-single like The Real Sugar.
