CD Presentation Casual Silence-Once
in a blue Moon
On
Saturday 12 April Casual silence celebrated her 10th birthday with the
presentation of their newest CD Once in a blue Moon.
It all
happened in Rocktempel Plato. Visit Plato’s Website at http://www.plato.helmondweb.nl/
After a spectacular intro Casual Silence came on stage.
The whole new album Once in a blue Moon was played entirely. With a great sound and a beautiful lightshow
Casual Silence gave a wonderful show.
Special guest Sandra Peeters of the band V-Male
was invited for a duet with Casual Silence front man Rob
Laarhoven for the number
"Dreamweaver". After an hour the band left
the stage. After that they played an encore of 20 minutes. With a nice
surprise "A Dream Left Behind"
from the solo project Medea of Henry Meeuws, keyboard player of Casual Silence.
It was beautifully played by singer Rob Laarhoven and Henry Meeuws on acoustical
guitar and with a second special guest Marina van der Aa. You can hear
"Once in a blue moon", a book full of emotions, a
record of passion en feelings.
After 10 years hard work at there own sound but also at there own identity.
Casual Silence has definitely succeeded to come out of the closet for the big
public. The record Once in a blue moon is a top-production, it sounds heavy and
bubbly at the same time. The arrangements are just wright and the lyrics are
following the road that was followed for the last ten years.
It are the lyrics who form the basics for the emotions who are a
Rob Laarhoven and Eric Smits are great songwriters and can easily
symbolise their state of mind unto music paper. On Once in a blue moon we get the chance to look deep into their souls.
For those of you who know them this will be a revelation ,for the
neutral listener this story will be a revelation unto itself. Both gentlemen
write autobiographical and describe their feelings about love, hatred, fear and
joy, seen from their personal view.
On one of the songs Ernst le Cocq d’Armandville makes his debut
as a Lyrical-writer he has chosen to write his emotions unto paper. The future
is bright and lays wide open for this band and its fragile open-minded
Prog-Rock. Hail to Casual Silence.
Next Month Casual Silence shall play again in rocktempel Plato.
On Friday 16 may Casual Silence will play as a support-act with English
progressive rock band Jadis.
