Attic Addict @Dour: day #1-2-3-4 !!
4 Comments »Hi peeps!
things have been really crazy lately, we did not have time to manage to write this down, so now, here it is:
The guys came and plugged their instruments in no time, started to jammin’… it was really impressive how easy these backpackers played like real masters!
Then on Friday, it all got really really fxxxg crazy:
the really nice people from la DK Danse, and then the belgian rockers: Driving Dead Girl, Dancing Naked Ladies, Bacon Caravan Creek… all recorded in 3 hours!
Then, Alfred aka Daedalus came and did an amazing set, just for us… soon to watch on attic addict too!
The Zenzile guys came at 8pm, right on time. their Buddies from la DK Danse told ‘hem how cool it was in our yurt, so they came to do a session. a really, really great session.
Then came the my little cheap dictaphone guys, followed by Sharko, with a very smooth and unique session.
Our friend Fulgeance came in at midnight, and did the funniest and most entertaining session we’ve seen yet (he played as Peter Digital the day before).
And then we went to see Otto von Schirach. He came with his drummer buddy after Bong Ra’s show and they did a fucking great session which ended at around 5 am…
then comes day #3: Saturday
Mayer Hawthorne & the county came a bit late, but in no time, all the band was plugged in and ready to play a very famous standard of Soul music. No wonder why Mayer is called “the heard of soul”…
The Vismets came and it was a good surprise to discover their style, how they managed to rock so fast, so good.
Followed by Frank Shinobi, a belgian math rock band, who seemed a bit nonchalant at first sight, but in fact it was a sign of a relaxed attitude. the result: another great session, yeah!!
Bilal is the true surprise of that day: he came with his backing band, 1 hour after asking if he could play. And he decided to play till the maximum, more than 20 minutes of pure voluptuous soul and blues music. he’s for sure a revelation of this year’s festival.
Day #4, Sunday, final day
At that time, we were quite glad of all we had managed to record on such short notice. But we wanted to play it till the end, so we tried to convince as many bands as we could to come.
The Belgians from Larko came first, they had booked their session a few days ago. Our Friends from Lille Curry & Coco came right after their gig (Thomas had broken his drumset before they could finish their gig, so he was happy to come destroy ours at the attic addict session). They definitely played with much intensity, although it was one of their final dates of their tour.
The Baddies came too. Well it’s not a legend, english guys definitely know about Rock
The band Family Jamming came right after them, to do some good soul / blues music. We were happy to meet them.
Finally, we had the honor to welcome Brother Ali, accompanied with his buddy DJ Snuggles, doing the beatbox like no one, in a very unique and very special session!
Steve Von Till from Neurosis also came in, and did a huge, loud and heavy session. As the Antipop Consortium guys passed by, they stopped to listen to Steve, and were quite amazed. They wished they could play but had no time unfortunately.
Our friends from Foreign Beggars came later on, did their session although they were very tired for traveling a lot, still, it was definitely good!
For Finale, we managed to get DJ Kentaro and his technics. indescribable.
it was Monday, 6 a.m., no sound could be heard any more, the festival was finished, so were we.
A few hours later, after a few hours sleep, we packed everything and left Dour with a heavy heart, but we felt light at the same time, like still living in a dream…
We have to say a big THANK YOU to the team of the festival who welcomed us so well, all the people working there, the voluntaries, the photographs, and of course, the artists, to be so eager to play right after their gig, like no one could stop them. And we might forget some people too, but to them, we say also a big thank you from the heart. hope to see you soon guys!
We hope to show you the first videos very soon!
to be continued…

Delta City Jazz Band brings you back into a certain time, a time where people used to take time to make and to listen to music in a simple way…
A time without computers…
Computers can crash….
Our hard drive crashed! 
We managed to save almost the half oh this one, we deeply apologise to the band…
This things wouldn’t happen with a tape recorder….

We were peacefully recording in the attic when Funky Fingers came to hack our session!
He came with some of his friends ( Chuck Norris, JCV…) and put everythings out of control!

‘ What do you want? you want me to write something about your “home made live Music sessions” ? Fuck off ! I’m not going to promote your shit ! It’s your job not mine ! I’ve already played in your cold and humid attic which is the most impressive part of my performance ! and about the video I’m sure you made it worst to hide to the world how Funky Fingers may dominate his contemporaries !
I do not love you ! ‘ Funky Fingers

Members of Two Left Ears have been around the attic for a while!
For many years we’ve been doing experimental projects, jamming, doing BBQ… Pierre, the drummer has even spent a part of his childhood in this house, and Mathieu, the double bass player is one of the current roomate!!
So, it was natural to spend this monday with them, but this time Easter gift are in the attic instead of the garden.
They will be playing @ La malterie on April 19th, where you will be able to find their ‘Lazy e.p’.
Their debut album ‘Lazy Trace’ will be released on May 31st, and they will be touring the US this June and July.
You can check more tracks here:
Enjoy!
‘saturday lunch in the attic…
no audience (almost)
