Facts:
- I mostly like bands, not individual singers.
- The noise of distored guitars may be my favorite noise in the world.
- I love it when a rock band consists of only girls. Even cooler, girl power!
- I am never able to mention a one and only favorite song. I can't choose.

Go back to the zoo

If you read the title of this blog literally you might think I lost my mind.
First of all, even literally taken it's a cool idea because visiting the zoo is totally old skool.
But for people who are Dutch or into Dutch music this title might mean something different: Exactly, a band.

These 4 guys from Nijmegen and Amsterdam were inspired by a big mess of different other bands but all I can say is that whatever this influence was, it worked.
Their music is catchy and makes you happy, at least me.



They also have twitter, namely @GoBackToTheZOO and a few days ago I saw a tweet saying that people that wrote a good explanation why they should be allowed, had a chance to win two tickets to the release party of their new album 'Benny Blisto' in Amsterdam.
There is this Dutch saying (literally translated): if you never shoot, you always miss. So with that sentence in my thoughts I typed a short message why I should be allowed to the party and send it. Even if I would fail, at least I tried!

Then the next day my blackberry said I had an e-mail (yes the blackberry is back!) and it was from the management of the band saying that my message was that good that I was invited to their party upcoming Tuesday! Yaaaaay
So Tuesday the 10th of August I am taking my sister to the club Westerunie in Amsterdam for one hell of a party.
There is just one issue left, an issue that will probably be an issue for every remaining day of my life: What will I wear?

Since the band is called Go Back To The Zoo, I am planning on wearing something animal inspired. I'm not sure yet what it will be, but I will figure something out.

Here some music for all of you who don't know them yet, enjoy!
