This was one of the five shows we played on our March 2022 tour of London, Leeds, Amsterdam & Antwerp. For this show we showed up on the train from London as a trio of Mark, Shannon & myself. After the bigger band blowouts of London & Leeds, we were faced with the question of "What the hell are we going to do?" or "How is this going to work?" This is how it went. Het Bos is a beautiful and welcoming space and made it very easy for us to relax and let the music flow.

Antwerp has been very kind to Sunburned and is like a second home for us. Our old friend, Koen Vandenhoudt surprised us by being the house DJ for the night. Our booking agent Vincent Royers was there as well as a few familiar faces and some online supporters. Dennis Tyfus couldn't make it because he caught covid the week before, but it was very cool to see his old sign from the Scheldhapen hanging in the club. Koen was the first person to take the chance of bringing Sunburned to Continental Europe in 2003 by having us come to Belgie in Hasselt. Sunburned's Paul Labrecque lived in Antwerp for a while too. A lot of wet and crazed nights were had in that town.

Het Bos had the best backline for us to use and we projected some video behind us, while the set was recorded through the board. Pruulip opened the show and were great. Thanks for listening. Enjoy - JM 2024.
