Silhouette & Mangrove July 1, 2018 - 't Blok, Nieuwerkerk a/d IJssel (NL)
Silhouette and Mangrove belong without any doubts to best progressive rock bands in the Netherlands.
Therefore it wasn't so strange that a lot of people wanted to see both acts on another Sunday afternoon event
organised by the people of ProgFrog. So 't Blok in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel was rather well filled with fans of
both bands. They didn't care it was very hot in and outside the venue. You do have to know that the temperature
outside the venue was near the 30 degrees Celsius. Inside even hotter on and off stage. Strangely enough both
bands seemed to be fine with the difficult circumstances and gave the spectators an excellent show. Something
which the people in front of them appreciated very much!
Mangrove
It was too bad the crowd didn't ask them back for an encore. Otherwise I would have heard an awesome version of Beyond Reality without any doubt. But also without this tune I had a terrific time during the bands excellent performance! Again it was a real feast to see and hear Mangrove once again! Silhouette Silhouette hadn't done any concerts for more than a year. They didn't have the chance to perform the songs from their latest album The World Is Flat (And Other Alternative Facts) (2017, see review) due to personal circumstances in the band. But now it was finally time to show the world (not the flat world, but the real round world) if they
Later on in the year both acts will also do a double headliner concert for the people of Serious Music Alphen. I think you already might have guest who will be present there. Of course I want to see them again perform some amazing music for me like they did for the people of ProgFrog. Hopefully a lot of people will join me like they did on this sunny but hot Sunday afternoon! Henri Strik |
