Exclusive dEUS concert/contest

Jyves — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 14:20:00 +0000

You know how dEUS are proud of their shiny new recording studio in Antwerp: most of their press photos were shot there, their website is based on studio footage and photos, even the Slow video was shot in there...

Now they're inviting fans into their Vantage Point studio! On April 20, they will play a very, very exclusive show to a selected audience of very, very lucky fans. They are apparently looking for the most dedicated fans all around Europe.

Contests will be launched in various media publications across the continent; the first one is organised by Holland's 3FM and is open to Dutch residents only.

Check out the Pocket Revolution blog to stay up-to-date with the Vantage Point Studio concert contest!

Great Austrian interview

Jyves — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:38:00 +0000

Fantastic interview with Tom on the site of an Austrian radio. Check it out here - or read my summary if you don't know German. We finally know what "Vantage Point" means.

Update: Here's the English translation, thanks to lovedeus. There's also a Dutch translation (pdf) by Wouter Verschelde on Bart's blog.

Now playing: Vantage Point

Jyves — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 09:13:00 +0000

Or just 10 x 50 seconds of it, anyway. Dutch record store Plato are giving a preview of all Vantage Point songs on their website. You need to register by sending an e-mail to the address mentioned on the Vantage Point page - but you'll need some Dutch knowledge. [via Bart's blog]

Listen to Slow now!

Jyves — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 09:06:00 +0000

Slow is now playing on the 3Voor12 website!

Now playing: The Architect

Jyves — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 17:49:00 +0000

You can now listen to The Architect on the MySpace dEUS page. Special hugs from the band if you add the song to your own page, too.

Listen to Slow tomorrow

Jyves — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 11:25:00 +0000

The single Slow will be premiered tomorrow (Friday) on Dutch radio 3FM, during the "MoveYourAss" program. The show starts at 22.00 CET, there'll be an interview with Tom. Web radio here. [thx to Kevin]

New single, tour, website

Jyves — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:06:00 +0000

Big news on the dEUS front!

New album Vantage Point will be released on April 21 (or 18), with contributions from The Knife's Karin Dreijer & Elbow's Guy Garvey.

The Architect is the name of the new single in Belgium, and Slow (feat. K. Dreijer) will be the first single elsewhere. No actual release date was announced, though.

There's a whole bunch of tour dates announced for this spring, including 6 massively sold-out dates in Belgian clubs. They'll also do Rock Werchter, and many festival dates are to be announced.

All this, and more, was announced last Monday by Tom himself on the fantastic new dEUS website.

New albums in 2008 and 2009

Jyves — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 15:30:00 +0000

From Bart's blog:

The new album will be finished on December 10th. It will be released in March 2008. And we might expect another dEUS-album in 2009.
In an interview with Veto Tom describes the new album as loud, eclectic and extravert. They will also tour the USA again, supporting bigger bands.
He also talks about his movieplans. Tom would like to have the scenario's for three movies finished within three years. He plans to start filming in 5 years.

As it's the most interesting interview in about 2 years, I translated the article for all you rabid, non-Dutch-speaking fans!

[Update: article moved to the press section to make it much more readable]

About hotellounge.com

Jyves — Thu, 25 May 2006 01:40:00 +0000

I have finally started updating this site. Nothing revolutionary: I merely intend to brush the dust off most pages by refreshing out-of-date stuff. The design and structure will not be altered for the time being. I will keep you informed of current changes at the bottom of the home page.

I will not post any dEUS news, though: Bart is doing a brilliant job with his Pocket Revolution blog And for current tour dates, there's Arthur and the official site of course.

Thank you for still hanging around here and see you at the festivals ;-)

dEUS at Vorst, 2nd!

Jyves — Fri, 14 Oct 2005 12:31:00 +0000

So, yesterday dEUS set a new record for a Belgian band by selling all tickets (over 7000) for their March 1 gig at Vorst Nationaal in just 4 hours. As was to be expected, there'll be a secong gig at the same venue on the day after. Tickets will be on sale on Sherpa from Saturday at 9:00.

dEUS at Vorst Nationaal...

Jyves — Thu, 13 Oct 2005 08:04:00 +0000

...or Forest National, Brussels, on March 1. Presales have started one hour ago so there's still plenty left.

Go grab tickets!

Pocket Revolution, the fourth album by dEUS, is out in Europe.

On tour with dEUS

Jyves — Thu, 08 Sep 2005 11:36:00 +0000

I'll see dEUS more than 15 times this autumn. Hence the idea to start a real tour diary.

Listen to the album

Jyves — Mon, 05 Sep 2005 15:50:00 +0000

Legally that is! You can listen to the whole Pocket Revolution on Luisterpaal, 3voor12's album preview streaming service on vpro.nl. Click here, and they've messed up nicely with the tracklist. The playing order is correct, but the titles are random. [thx to vincent]

Pure session

Jyves — Wed, 31 Aug 2005 08:41:00 +0000

Next Tuesday between 16.00 and 19.00, dEUS will be on Pure FM's "Buzz" program for an interview and a live session. [thx to Laurent]
