Initially
Soulwax appear to be the weak link on the Day of Rock bill,
the Belgian quintet's clever Beck-isms in danger of being
drowned out by the sonic carnage around them. However, it
would appear that the Dewaele brothers have taken this to
heart for today Soulwax rock harder than any group turned
out in sharp beige and cream suits should be reasonably expected
to.
Opener
'Much Against Everyone's Advice' causes a passing Jason Perry
from 'A' to spontaneously express his deep love for the band
while 'Saturday' is transformed into a hulking beast of a
rock song, David embellishing the recorded version with some
meaty riffing. And that proves to be the pattern for the rest
of the performance: 'Conversation Intercom' is pumped up almost
beyond recognition while 'Too Many Djs' is seemingly steroid
enhanced and foundations threatening. An unexpected result
from the Benelux Boys then, the Dewaeles surely destined to
make up the numbers in any future beered-up 'name five famous
Belgians' poser.
