The Royal Spuds & Heylel May 22, 2016 - Cab03, Leiden (NL)
A strange, but bold combination. OK, it's quite common that two bands do a co-headliner show on the same evening,
but the two bands could not be further away from each other in terms of their music genres. The Royal Spuds
are a folk punk band, while Heylel are a progressive rock band with gothic influences. Punk versus prog?
Wow, that must be a spectacular combination to watch live! The Cab03 itself is a very cozy, intimate location
(I know the people who've been there know what I mean), and the room was slowly filling up with dedicated fans
of both bands. The light effects were far from spectacular and the room was very dark, so taking good pics was
a bit difficult for me. Luckily the light was only a small minor point, because the rest of the evening was a
fabulous performance of both bands.
