30 / 04 / 2002 : Concertgebouw Barneveld @ Krakend Ei 2002

Het Krakend Ei is an annual band contest where budding bands can compete for the prizes, which are (ofcourse) the First Prize, and the 'Public's Prize'.
Starring bands and artists like Anders, Mo-Flex, Indistinct , Well Done Miss Osiris , and Denial of Service, we were sure of not falling into any prize and were glad we had an opportunity to play.
After our turn, we were told that everybody looked at us as a bunch of little kids, but they also said they were pleasently surprised with what we played, and thought it was very good.
We didn't, cuz heck, a lot went wrong !
Colin broke one of his sticks, Thomas' guitar wasn't amplified sufficiently, Jonathan forgot his lines with 'Busted' and Dani was dumb enough to eat chewing gum during our turn. When he tried to remove it by using his hands, before he had to sing, it wouldn't come off ...
Fortunately, we had marvelous audience and they were kind enough to help us with the backvocals on Busted.

Looking back at our very first gig, we know now we learned a lot from it. But what we never expected, was, at the end of the night, when the winner of the 'Public's Prize' was announced, one of the judges said: 'They still need to learn alot, but they have a lot of potential, Denial of Service !'
