! POLYPHONIC SIZE FIRST WARM UP CONCERT REVIEW - NEXT ONE FEATURING JJ BURNEL !

Polyphonic Size gave a private gig in some tiny Brussels café / restaurant (La Cigogne) yesterday evening. This was a kind of warm up concert before the big one, Wednesday 05 April.
The band now features Roger-Marc Vandevoorde (vocals, keyboards, guitar), France Lhermitte (vocals) and Kloot Per W (bass and vocals), plus 2 young girlz, I mean Roger Marc's daughters, Alice (guitar) and Mandy (keyboards). They played only 1979-1983 material : Action Man, NBC gmbh, Girlscout, Le Rabatteur des Sectes, Winston & Julia, Mother's Little Helper, ... plus 2 more covers : Janie Jones (The Clash) and a fantastic version of Devo's Mongoloïd !

The sound, the mood, were close to the 1982 concerts, with ryhthm box, guitars and synthesizers, but in new, powerful, tight and smashing versions. It was a killer show !!! Honest ! I mean, as a long time fan, I expected it could be a nice reunion, something like that, but they really gave a fan-tas-tic performance. I have listened to all Polyphonic Size live tapes around, from 1982 to 1991, and believe me, this was one of the best shows ever ! Roger Marc, France and Kloot Per W (what a great bass player !) were in great shape, and Alice and Mandy really add some fresh blood to the band. They gave 3 encores, the audience couldn't let them stop !

OK guys (and girls), now here's the BIG NEWS for the next show : JJ BURNEL WILL BE THERE TOO !!! And the guy will sing several songs with the band (try to find which ones...) !!! So if you're around Brussels next Wednesday, this is the place to go ! Cheers !

One more thing. La Cigogne is a small bar in the center of Brussels (rue Antoine Dansaert, 78). They've got a jukebox in this place. Old one. I had a look at the records : several Stranglers (incuding Bear Cage), 2 Polyphonic Size, and.... Freddie Laker / Ozymandias by JJ Burnel !!! I coudn't believe it. Must be pretty hard to find a jukebox like that anywhere around.
