I'd like to introduce you to a friend of ours... His name is Guido de Groot and he's the man behind Kito Cartoons. Besides being a mean cartoonist he's also a lover of country, bluegrass and folk music, so much so that he organized the first Bluegrass Festival here in Rotterdam which was fantastic. Actually, it was so fantastic that i think it will be enjoying many more editions in the years to come. He also hosts a cozy little Movie Night in Cafe de Bel featuring Roots Music Documentaries.
Guido is currently involved in starting a new podium here in Rotterdam called The Heidegger. The first event will be The Bluegrass Outlaw Party featuring Bob Wayne, Jesus Evil Highway aaaaand.... our new band, 'The Fournicators'...YEAH! Besides the live music there will be a screening of the Fat Possum movie 'You See Me Laughing'. This is going to be one hell of a night y'all so if you're in the area i suggest you skidaddle yourself over to the Grote Kerkplain 70 in Rotterdam on the 2nd of February.

Lastly, since Guido is a great cartoonist and a music lover it seemed only logical to ask him to customize a ukulele for me which he graciously did. I LOVE the results...

Kito is really plugging this on facebook! :-) I have to skip the 23rd but really try to make it to this festival, it seems such a ball!
Yes, well we were so looking forward to it but...
our drummer is in intensive care with a fractured skull after a bad incident saturday night. I don't think there is any way that he'll be recovered in time.
It's been a very long disturbing weekend and we're all really upset. Not quite the glorious beginning of 2011 we had in mind.
Oh that's just horrible news. Sorry for you all and especially the drummer. Let's hope he gets well soon, that's more important than any concert.
