FOR GREATER GOOD performance Saturday May 8 2010, Belgium

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

For Greater Good will perform on the BeatiFull Dawn Part V festival, together with Militia (http://limbolink.hbvl.be/militia/) and Dark Poem (http://www.myspace.com/thegardenofdreams). Doors open at about 20.00 hrs.

Apart from songs from the full-cd, we will bring some new songs, together with a sneak preview from our collaboration-cd with Japanese cyberpunk writer Kenji Siratori, soon to be released.

All this will be supported by video-projections by various artists.

We hope to see you all there!

I rarely visit MySpazz these days, and especially not ARFs blog.

The coloring scene gives me a splitting headache :?

Just finished the General Rehearsal...

The new songs sound great, the videos are stunning and the female vocals sound heavenly.

Feel like you've missed something somewhere?

Come and check it out this Saturday! :D

Guest-singer Raya from 'Dark Poem' having troubles with her mic, gangsta-rap stylee! ;D also notice the iron works behind her, courtesy of main band Militia, which was too heavy or difficult to get back off stage after their soundcheck. Ah well, it made for some nice decor ;)

The band:

Millions of Belgian supporters left the fitba for what it was and trouped together in a sold-out Kompas!

Thanks for the support, you all know who you are ;)

I heard the music before the gig. We couldn't be there, was in Germany on Sunday early!

More than ever the photos say how it was and the music, like said heard although not live. Until the next time FGG! :notworthy:

The gig had a lot of potential, the new songs sounded good, some extra vocals on older tracks, a beautiful extra singer, (no I’m not talking about Sam) but sadly the sound wasn’t very good do to a bad PA. I heard a lot of comments after the gig and overall everyone was complimenting the band even though the problems they had. That is saying a lot about how good it was :D

Thanks for the vids C. ! :D :notworthy:

And I heard that comment an awful lot that night and after, that our guest singer Raya is quite a looker...

Can't deny that ;) most important tho, she has a beautiful voice and is a very nice lass, I'm also really digging her band Dark Poem, so I can predict the FGG-Dark Poem liaison is far from over! :D
