FOR GREATER GOOD dubbelconcert 27-28 november 2010

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.

Sorry peeps, for the Belgians only, so forgive the foreign drivel! ;D

Also, I was too lazy to translate, and it is a double try-out gig in a very small venue anyways ;)

----------------------
FOR GREATER GOOD, het ambient project van Izzy en samdevos, geeft een uniek dubbelconcert op 27 en 28 november 2010 in de zaal van café Het Belofte Land te Lier!

FGG stelt dat weekend zijn nieuwe cd "For Greater Good + Kenji Siratori" voor,
een samenwerkingsproject met de Japanse cyberpunk-schrijver Kenji Siratori.
Vocals en teksten van Kenji op een For Greater Good-klankentapijt.

Kenji's teksten gaan vooral over verval, techniek en overheersing door computers, genetische manipulatie, cyber-terrorisme en mutante virussen.
Een rauwe kijk op onze moderne wereld, Asiamania in proza gegoten.
Deze schrijver gebruikt in zijn boeken een zeer originele, onconventionele stijl, die hem geliefd maakte bij vele lezers en zelfs David Bowie tot zijn fans mag rekenen.

Een CD-hoes met fotografisch werk van Steven Coppens, en tot één geheel gemaakt door graficus Kolja Aertgeerts die ook veel van de video's bij de live-show maakt.
De mastering werd gedaan door Gert Van Hoof van Cochlea Mastering te Lier.

Een hoop mensen dus die hebben gezorgd voor een uniek stuk totaalkunst,
en we willen dan ook al deze mensen hun werk tentoonstellen.

Op ZATERDAG 27 november rond 2100 uur geeft For Greater Good een exclusief concert, met gastmuzikanten Peter Geysels (basklarinet, dwarsfluit, herdersfluit), Peter De Koning (percussie) en Raya (zang).

We spelen oudere nummers, uiteraard ook een paar songs van de nieuwe CD
"FGG + Kenji Siratori" en nagelnieuwe nummers dikwijls in een bijzonder kleedje.

Tijdens het concert is het merendeel videoprojecties van Kolja Aertgeerts.
Samen met de live-muziek vormen ze één filmisch geheel...

Na het concert zal u de "For Greater Good + Kenji Siratori" CD kunnen beluisteren,
bijgestaan door Projexibition: een diavoorstelling van micro-schilderijen door Carl en Bjorn.

Heel dit gebeuren wordt nog eens overgedaan op ZONDAG 28 november vanaf 1600 uur.

Tijdens deze twee dagen loopt in Het Belofte Land een expositie van het werk van Steven Coppens.

En uiteraard zal de CD "For Greater Good + Kenji Siratori" te koop zijn ;-)

Inkom is volledig gratis.

Plaats: Het Belofte Land, Begijnhofstraat 7, 2500 Lier (Het Belofte Land Herberg)

U wordt bij deze vriendelijk uitgenodigd op één of beide concerten.

Laat ons weten of u komt, de plaatsen in Het Belofte Land zijn beperkt tot 80 mensen in de zaal. Stuur IZ een PM of mail me persoonlijk op forgreatergood AT telenet DOT be.

Alvast bedankt en tot dan!

IZ & samdevos, For Greater Good.

---- IMPORTANT: FOR GREATER GOOD GIGS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED ----

Beste vrienden,

Met spijt in het hart moeten wij u melden dat de For Greater Good concerten van 27 en 28 november 2010 a.s. geannuleerd zijn, wegens onvoorziene omstandigheden i.v.m. met de locatie, buiten de wil van de band en bandleden om.

Ook onze excuses voor het laattijdige verwittigen, we hebben nog een aantal alternatieven onderzocht doch door tijdsgebrek hebben we die niet kunnen realiseren.

We brengen jullie op de hoogte van nieuwe data van zodra wij iets geregeld hebben.

Wij hopen op jullie begrip en zien jullie snel.
Wij willen jullie allemaal ook nog bedanken voor jullie interesse en steun.

Met vriendelijke groet

Iz, samdevos, Shadowhuntress, Peter G., Traumasutra, Coppez, Vim

(FGG)

Plenty of venues around of course, but it was just nor do-able to get it all organised on such a short notice.

Also, we had a two-day gig here, and there were different people coming on Sat and on Sunday. And most of the venues we contacted as an alternative had one of these two days occupied already.

We had one week to find a new location that could host 100 people, two days, with a proper stage, not too expensive, with a bar (duh!) and a decent backline...

Next time! :)
