De Morgen and Gazet Van Antwerpen have an interview with Nick Cave today. Apparently, Tom has interviewed Nick Cave for tv-program Spraakmakers. The interview will be aired on March 9th.

Although, they used to have the same tourmanager Cave says in the newspapers he doesn't know dEUS, but he will listen to it since Tom gave him an album.

Yesterday, Luc Janssens, the host of the belgium tvprogramm Lux XL announcend that dEUS will present their new album (exclusively) on the last broadcast of Lux XL (April 3th)

(thx to Amber)

(thx to Woep on ISR)

Studio Brussel will air the new single of dEUS monday morning somewhere between 7.30 and 7.45 hour. The song is called The Architect and is according to Peter Van de Veire a very danceable tune.

I have been subscribed to the Last.FM Events-feed for dEUS for a while. Saw a new event popping up this morning: a dEUS-gig at Rote Fabrik, Zürich on April 9th. Since the official Rote Fabrik website has not listed the gig at this moment, I consider it a rumour.

Interesting article in Focus Knack last week about the increasing prices for concerttickets (in Dutch). It show a graphic with the evolution of the prices for dEUS-concerts (in Belgium). And also a nice ticketscan from the early dEUS-years.

Somebody posted a comment saying dEUS will play The Scala in London on April 16th. There's nothing on the official Scala-website (yet), but Ticketmaster.co.uk is indeed listing this gig. Presale should start next monday.

The Flemish Parliament will extend the Gouden Erepenning for merits in the music-industry to Tom Barman, Dirk Brosse, Will Tura and Raymond Van Het Groenewoud next wednesday February 27th between 12.00 and 15.00 hour.

(thx to Tom)

Let the rumouring begin! Got a mail today pointing me to the Motel Mozaïque-website and saying there's a Very Special Guest scheduled on Friday April 11th. Could it be? Have you heard other rumours about dEUS-gigs? Please post them in the comments.

I will add rumoured gigs to the tourmap as well. You'll recognize them by the -icon.

Here's the list of the tourdates for the Vantage Point Tour so far. A graphical overview of the tour is available on the tourmap. You can also add gigs to your Facebook or Last.FM-events and make plans with other fans on I Suffer Rock.

A big majority of readers of this blog (71%) thinks Vantage Point is a great album title.

I've created a Google Map with all upcoming dEUS-gigs. At the moment it only contains one date, but it will expand in the future. The map is over here.

A bit late due to my trip to Paris, but in case you've missed the news: dEUS will (again) headline Rock Werchter. The exact date is not known yet. Rock Werchter will take place from July 3rd to July 6th. Other bands include Radiohead, R.E.M., Chemical Brothers, Kaiser Chiefs and Lenny Kravitz. More info on www.rockwerchter.be.

I will be in Paris for a couple of days. I will probably not be able to do any updates until next sunday. Stay tuned!
