🎤 NEW LIVE REPORT

Mass Of The Fermenting Dregs at The Hare And Hounds: "It all comes down to band chemistry; the three members share a sixth sense which verges on telepathy, and they handle all the time changes with apparent ease."

Moja – I’m hungry !! (Album)

"Perhaps Moja’s greatest achievement with 'I’m hungry !!' is wrapping complexity up within simplicity"

今日はオランダ🇳🇱AMSTELVEENのライブハウスP60へ。
さいっこうの日でした。

「こうありたい」と思ってることにいつの間にか囚われていたんだな、とやっと離れて思えた大事な日でした。

もう完璧な英語よりも、フィーリングで伝えたいなと思って、拙い言葉だったと思うけど、思ったまま話して、大きな器で受け取ってくれたみなさんありがとう。

あと、このツアーいつも言うてるけど、かなりタイトなスケジュールの中、音響・照明・スタッフさんの迅速で愛がある対応のおかげで思いっきりやれてると思う。ほんまにミュージシャンに対するリスペクトを感じる。P60最高でした、ありがとう！

昨日いいなと思ってくれて、大勢仲間を連れて来てくれたヤンチャーズや、画面の向こうから応援してくれてた方には「本当に会えた！」と感動。
わたしのLiveでモッシュあったの初めてだよ！🩰嬉

やばいんだけどさ、わたし達の1週間前がグラハムボネットがこのデンハーグのMUSICONに来てた！

このフライヤーを見つけてからテンションは爆上がりし、いつもよりシャウトに力入ってます🫨
あなたに感動してこの歌い方のスタイルになった女が同じ場所に立ったよ。

フロアのみなさん、音響さんも最高で全くもっていい日でした。ありがとう！

とっても気持ちがあがっててなかなか寝れないベッドからの中継。そろそろ寝なあかん
