It was already a big surprise last year when I heard the news that Shonen Knife would play at a tiny venue called dB's in the outskirts of Utrecht. So the surprise was even bigger that they returned to that same venue only 13 months later. Don't be mistaken, dB's is a very nice venue, especially because there's no bar in the hall itself, and most importantly the parking is free. But I would have expected a band like Shonen Knife that exists for 20+ years to play in bigger halls, perhaps not like a sold-out Paradiso, but still in venues like Tivoli or Ekko to remain in the same city of Utrecht. Anyway, it was great to see them again in such short notice, and both the crowd and the band were very happy to be there. Unfortunately the recording did not turn out as good as the previous time. Someone had decided to turn on the ceiling fans, which was a great idea. But my microphones did not really appreciate it. So even though this was an indoor venue, you'll hear some wind noise on almost the entire recording.
