Pink And Green Polka Dot Wedding Invitations

K's Choice ... a good choice??

When I was twenty, in the 90s, a Belgian group scored me a lot, so much that I bought all their albums . This is K's Choice , a formation created in 1993 under the name of The Choice, by Sarah Bettens and her brother Gert (photo cons).

What I could listen to their typical 90's rock. I wonder if I never got disgusted. Besides, I had almost forgotten.
My friends claim that I saw them in concert in Montpellier in the early 2000s, but I have no recollection. I must say they did everything to be forgotten since 2002, the brother and sister have decided to suspend the group to try solo careers.

And then, in 2009, K's Choice reformed, recorded a new album and embarked on a European tour. And they were Friday night in Montpellier on the scene in my favorite room, the Rockstore .

But yes, I'm sure you remember K's Choice and especially blockbusters, Not an Addict, released in 1996:



The concert left me with an impression rather mixed. I will not dwell on the first part, another Belgian group called Arid . They had already started playing when my friends and I arrived at Rockstore and I have listened with half an ear.

When technicians K's Choice began installing instruments, they placed three chairs on the stage it got a bit worried. And rightly so because when the group made its debut, Sarah announced that the concert would be in two parts, a first and a second more acoustic rock.
The first part lasted one hour, all group members were seated and I almost fell asleep. It was beautiful, but soft!

I still enjoyed Butterflies Instead :



I do not see much use for this type of benefit. is probably fun in a tiny room but Rockstore ... Temple Montpellier rock! In addition, being seated prevented much of the public to see the band. In short, not really a success.

Another "intermission" between the two sides and finally it started to move. The second began with a piece well paced, Hide :



The second set was much more pleasant than the first. The beautiful Sarah has not lost his voice and his charisma. And she really fishing, when she does it.

During another time, K's Choice chained good songs, mostly from the old albums. Here, I confess that I Kiff. I almost feel my soul to find a student.

A song I really like, Believe :



The end of the concert was as disconcerting as the beginning. The group agreed two encores, both starting with a ballad ... some damage after a hour as rhythmic. The public would have made a good dose of Mr. Freeze, but you can not have it all.
We still had a good Everything for free:



I was finally convinced by this show moderately. In fact, half rock would have been enough, we never change ...
After the concert, we could have stayed at Rockstore for a few drinks in a good atmosphere but we were gently pushed toward the exit.

is not so bad because we pushed up Chez Paul [e] , my favorite bar, which ended an evening "Oysters sound" in a great atmosphere. But then, you'll undoubtedly hear about very soon on another great blog, aperitif Friday.
