&lt;p&gt;I’m protecting my pitch bender from breaking off (a third time) after I glued it with some super glue.. Tomorrow we’re playing with Knobsticker again, so I’ll definitely need this one! Let’s hope it will hold so you can enjoy the true Falco Bends on the &lt;a href="http://www.bamfestival.nl/Programma/MetropoolStage.aspx"&gt;BAM! festival&lt;/a&gt; in Hengelo. And then flying to Russia in 2 weeks will be the ultimate test case..&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://falcobenz.com/post/23313776628</link><guid>http://falcobenz.com/post/23313776628</guid><pubDate>Sat, 19 May 2012 00:52:30 +0200</pubDate><category>knobsticker</category><category>bam festival</category><category>pitch bend</category><category>roland juno</category></item><item><title>Mr. Gilles Peterson himself presenting the line-up for the...</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YR4EMStoVDE?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. Gilles Peterson himself presenting the line-up for the Eurostar Traction Festival, July 14th in London, during the London 2012 festivities..

A label that I’m closely connected to in many ways, for example with my own group Knobsticker, but also with Benny Sings, Steye, Charlene, Giovanca, We’ll Make it Right, Roos Jonker, Wouter Hamel.. all artists that I worked and played with that last couple of years.. mostly thanks to the wonderfully creative owner Bart Suèr! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tomorrow night we’ll do a big show in Paradiso with (almost) all affiliated artists, singing and playing together.. From the oldest generation to the newest.. from 20h30 until.. well..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’d like to invite you to come. If you don’t know what to expect, here’s a little teaser that we did last Tuesday in ‘De Wereld Draait Door’.

&lt;p&gt;The second day in Montpellier we had a day off and spent it on the beach with 22 degrees Celsius.. Apparently a great way to recover from hangovers (I was told..). At night, some local friends showed us around to all the great littles places and squares that Montpellier has to offer. Really a great city!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the last show of the tour we went to Marseille, hoping to arrive once again in a cute French city centre.. However, the club was located in a completely different area, a very urban/skate/hiphop one which turned out to be very cool too! We had a good dinner on the roof of the club and with a mix of melancholy, relief, tiredness and excitement we prepared ourselves for the last concert. The sound on stage was quite bad, not your best partner when you’re devastated already.. but the fact that Mayer himself and DJ Kurse surprised us on stage with some funny dances made up for it, so we could smile again! The crowd seemed to notice this and gave us a very warm applause. Personally I must say that even though I had a great great time in all countries, France has won the award for loveliest country of the tour, for me.. But well, that shouldn’t be surprising if you know me. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the concert we warmly said goodbye to the whole MH band and crew, they really made this adventure very pleasant for us, being helpful, friendly, funny, inspiring and inviting. I think we really hope to meet again some day. Let’s plan that at the other side of the Atlantic Ocean though. Thanks a lot. If you ever might read this, Mayer and crew.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next up: sleep, regular boring life, ‘not so nice weather’ and then it’s Lithuania! We’re playing in Vilnius on the 20th of April.. Ciao for now!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://falcobenz.com/post/20301724392</link><guid>http://falcobenz.com/post/20301724392</guid><pubDate>Sun, 01 Apr 2012 21:22:00 +0200</pubDate><category>benny sings</category><category>Europe Tour</category><category>Mayer Hawthorne</category></item><item><title>Day 21/22 - Lyon &amp; Montpellier, FR

&lt;p&gt;After our interesting experience in Italy it was sort of a relief to arrive in Lyon, at a club that was well equipped, with a more than 1 person crew and a good inhouse cuisine, so we didn’t have to stress finding food between soundcheck and concert.. for a change. Even though it wasn’t completely packed, the concert went really well and we realized again that France is a great audience for the music of Benny Sings (as well as Mayer Hawthorne, but that’s evident for all gigs). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We couldn’t spend any time in Lyon unfortunately, but we had SUPERBE times in Montpellier the next two days. The first day we played one of our best concerts (I think) with a lovely crowd ‘complètement ravie’ (I think).. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://falcobenz.com/post/20299824103</link><guid>http://falcobenz.com/post/20299824103</guid><pubDate>Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:50:00 +0200</pubDate><category>benny sings</category><category>Europe Tour</category><category>Mayer Hawthorne</category></item><item><title>Day 18/20 - Vienna &amp; Milan:

&lt;p&gt;If you want to take a step back in time, go to Vienna and take a ‘horse-taxi’. We ate schnitzels (yes), saw Mozart (yes) and played a nice gig at a surprisingly alternative venue with a lot of enthusiastic people! Very nice to experience and maybe (honestly) somewhat unexpected. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Milan must be a city full of fashionable people, but it seemed that not all of them were able to find the club that we played at. This place was quite different from the others, but not in a bad way, just differently organized. We had a seated audience (so they would order more drinks and foods) which was OK for us, but not for Mayer’s set of course. He was told that Italian people WON’T be standing during a soul concert.. Luckily he proved otherwise and it turned out to be a cool party! Oh yeah, the clichés continued to prove themselves: we ate the most DELICIOUS (and the biggest) pizza ever. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://falcobenz.com/post/20289809749</link><guid>http://falcobenz.com/post/20289809749</guid><pubDate>Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:49:10 +0200</pubDate></item><item><title>Day 15/17 - Germany part 2: Berlin &amp; Munich

&lt;p&gt;Travelling to Berlin could have been better, it took us 4 hours to cover 10 kilometers, while we had really hoped to spend our day off at Berlin. We had to compensate during the night, went to a bar that played 80s music, as you would expect. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The gig in Berlin was nice, in a ‘seemed to be underground club without signs on the outside, but hey, this is Berlin, we don’t do that here’.. People were receiving us warmly. The day after we experienced something likewise, people are very kind to us in Germany. The south of Germany is, as was Berlin, also confirming its clichés. Besides that the scenery was very beautiful and we had a great time at the afterparty.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As I said before, the Dutch concerts were nice, but not so silent. Germany did it a little better, with nice clubs in Hamburg and Cologne, packed with kind people paying attention and yelling loudly! Cologne is the hometown of drummer Tim Dudek, so together with his girlfriend he prepared a lovely German breakfast for us, a great way to continue the tour!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://falcobenz.com/post/19890217832</link><guid>http://falcobenz.com/post/19890217832</guid><pubDate>Sun, 25 Mar 2012 15:12:00 +0200</pubDate></item><item><title>DAY 7 &amp; 8: La France - Lille, Paris

&lt;p&gt;We had one day off in Lille and went to have drinks with the MH crew &amp; band, nice night. Then we played in a lovely club with a lovely, listening and enthusiastic audience at L’Aeronef, Lille. The day after we went to Paris, to first do a small performance at Radio Nova (yeay, finally I met some of the faces behind the voices..) which was great fun. They welcomed Benny with a lot of love. After, we went to La Gaïté Lyrique and experienced once again a great attentive crowd, who sang along with most of the songs.. Lovely!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While writing this we’re back in Holland, after some (not so silent, but still nice) concerts in Doornroosje, Paradiso and Oosterpoort, now for a short day off to do some laundry.. Leaving for Germany tomorrow, looking forward!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://falcobenz.com/post/19508228089</link><guid>http://falcobenz.com/post/19508228089</guid><pubDate>Sun, 18 Mar 2012 13:18:00 +0100</pubDate><category>benny sings</category><category>Mayer Hawthorne</category><category>Europe Tour</category></item><item><title>DAY 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 - UK: Manchester, Glasgow, Bristol

&lt;p&gt;We had one day off in Manchester and enjoyed ourselves very well with record stores, boutiques, coffee bars and great Asian food. Playing in Manchester was nice too. When we went to Glasgow, I forgot my phone at the hotel in Manchester, so unfortunately there are no pictures of this great Harry-Potter-esque city. We loved it!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Bristol we played on a smelly and sticky boat, but with a great crowd, so it was actually rewarding. On day 6 we took the van (and truckers train) to France so now we’re in Lille and I can finally impress the rest of the group with my quasi-French. We’ll play at L’Aeronef tonight, so if you’re around, please drop by…………. Tomorrow: PARIS!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://falcobenz.com/post/19233847934</link><guid>http://falcobenz.com/post/19233847934</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:10:34 +0100</pubDate><category>benny sings</category><category>Mayer Hawthorne</category><category>europe tour</category></item><item><title>Benny &amp; band (this time featuring Jasper van Hulten on...</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YVbYYIVUQKI?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Benny &amp; band (this time featuring Jasper van Hulten on drums) playing Big Brown Eyes on ‘De Wereld Draait Door’&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://falcobenz.com/post/18957126280</link><guid>http://falcobenz.com/post/18957126280</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Mar 2012 20:19:40 +0100</pubDate><category>benny sings</category><category>dwdd</category></item><item><title>DAY 1 - LONDON

&lt;p&gt;Long bus ride, luckily accompanied (and driven) by Joris, Jochem and later joined by Tim Extraa. Arrived at Scala London, met Mayer, band and crew, had some pizza and played our first show! The audience seemed to love it and so did we! Thanks. Afterwards we witnessed for the first time the show of Mayer Hawthorne &amp; The County -&gt; very tight and polished, really nice. It’ll be a great tour. Manchester tomorrow!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://falcobenz.com/post/18956083589</link><guid>http://falcobenz.com/post/18956083589</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Mar 2012 19:50:00 +0100</pubDate><category>benny sings</category><category>Mayer Hawthorne</category><category>scala london</category></item><item><title>This is the tour we’ll be doing, starting tomorrow at a...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m07j4yteN91qku2wgo1_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the tour we’ll be doing, starting tomorrow at a &lt;strong&gt;sold out&lt;/strong&gt; Scala, London!
