4/5: Great show by a band I hardly knew anything by. Impressive what these two women present. Electronic and analogue drums (Cuban percussion cajón and batádrums). Nice closing to the concert year of 2017. The support act (IDER) was very nice. Top evening!

Spoon, 11/10/2017
3/5: Spoon wasn’t really convincing at Paradiso. Halfway through the band had lost me completely. But when the fire did shine through, they were wonderful. Expected way more.

Tales Of Anatolia, 10/22/2017
2/5: A somewhat unfortunate combination. Zara, a Turkish singer, with Trilok Gurtu, an Indian drummer. Beautiful musical intermezzo’s, at times exciting.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, 10/13/2017
5/5: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are the top of music as art. This evening they proved it yet again. Cave is 60 years old, but is still as convincing and possessed as ever. Magical evening!

LCD Soundsystem, 09/12/2017
