Een enorm stevig, gedreven en lekker concert van Trentemøller gisteren in de Bravo-tent op Lowlands. Meer techno en dansgerichter dan zijn geweldige album Last Resort. Met drums en (bas)gitaar.
Gisteren op Pukkelpop (zie video), morgen op Lowlands en 13 november in de Heineken Music Hall. Voor die laatste heb ik de tickets in de pocket. Op Lowlands pik ik misschien een stukje mee, maar het Trentemoller (met band) optreden heeft mijn voorkeur.
