Habemus Paulum.
So, the big Wolkenvelden debut performance is this Friday - it's part of the Open Mic night so that means only a couple of songs, but a milestone nonetheless, and an evening not to miss. I asked a couple of friends to accompany yours truly on bass & drums, and we were set, it seemed, to head into practice this afternoon.
This morning, disaster struck: the Wolkenvelden drummer-to-be apparently got sick and will probably be unable to make it this Friday. No drummer? Bummer. And not just for me, as two other bands which are playing the Open Mic (and for which he is the regular drummer) are now stuck without a sticksman as well.
So after a brief moment of panic I had a little conclave of my own with my phone, and guess what - I found someone willing to beat the skins Friday night. And guess what, he found time to come and practice! On such short notice! And guess what, his name is Paul! One can never have too many Pauls in one's band. As friend, genius and bass player (behold him in the flesh Friday) Bruno pointed out, Wolkenvelden now holds a Paul-squared: Paul2, indeed. With every added Paul the power of Paulness multiplies itself to the power of... well, you get the idea.
So come Friday, haul yo' ass over to de Boerderij for a night of acoustic goodness that will r0x0rs your b0x0rs, as the kids say.
What songs I will play Friday? Oh, you'll just have to come and see. All I can say is that they have something to do with ornithology, astrophysics and punctuation, respectively; and, more to the point, they all have to do with love and disaster. Of course. Plus, little birds tell me that a full-length show in the same venue is underway soon, so keep your ears peeled.
