Deus live in Vienna – a good reason to go out tonight
This evening the Belgian band Deus comes to the flex in Vienna – a really good reason for us to go out and party tonight….
I do follow the path of Deus since their great album ‘worst case scenario’ in 1994 and try to go to their shows whenever they are near….
This band is always fresh!! In the beginning it has been extremely innovative and avant-garde – a crazy mixture of artists from Antwerp & rest of Belgium (painters, art-students, musicians…) – after Stef Kamil Carlens left DEUS to concentrate on his band Zita Swoon (my personal top favourite from Belgium ;-) the band around front man Tom Barman was re-arranged after a few years in the current band composition. Beside Tom Barman only Klaas Janzoons is left of the origin band of the early 90ies – I can remember a concert of DEUS in the Arena Vienna when a string of his Violin teared and while putting a new one on the instrument the band was doing great improvisation….
