Last friday I went to Het Depot in Leuven to watch the incredible Jon Spencer with his new band Heavy Thrash (myspace) together with miss and mister Boogaloo.
The support act for the evening were The Sadies (myspace) who also doubled as background band for Heavy Thrash.
First of all, Het Depot is a great room to watch medium sized gigs. Great sounds, good setting, decent prizes!
The big surprise of the evening was however The Sadies. I was really pleasantly surprised by the richness of their sound and the vocal qualities of their lead singer. However, I should have know as they were also picked by Andre Williams to be his supporting band around 2000.
- The Sadies – Tales of the Rat Fink – The Horseshoe
- The Sadies – Compilation – Flash
- The Sadies – Animation – A Minute In The Life
The advantage of having the same band being your background as your opening act is that it took only a little while to get Jon and Matt up and tuned on stage to kick off the next part of what will be probably one of the best concerts of 2008 for me. The sounds was great (not too loud), the band was playing as if they already played together for a long time and Mr. Spencer was his usual charismatic and flamboyant self.
