Sunrise, Pinkpop, Hasselt, Belgium 22/08/97
by ALEXEY VORONIN

They played last in Club-stage at about 11:30 pm. I got to the place a bit late (as always I was drinking beer :)) so I had to sit a bit on the side and I saw only 3/4 of the screen, but I was close to the stage. The whole performance made a very deep impression on me. It is the best one I saw in Belgium. People were just sitting on the floor amazed. During the first 15 min some went away, not every one can stand Zita. :( Nobody was making any noise, just listening and watching. It was very special for me. When on the screen it showed "Fin" the Band started 'Giving Up the Hero' (Great song) everybody stood up and moved closer to the stage clapping. There was some magical feeling in the crowd. Stef introduced the band and it all finished. BTW Stef was wearing a funny old-fashioned-hat.

I rushed to the Press area and I met with Tom Pinters said thx and talked with Klaas. I asked him "What is better playing with dEUS or Zita ?" (dull question). He said that they are two different things, but he enjoys the Sunrise project a lot. He also told me that now he mostly listens to Beck and tecno music. And he likes old disco like ABBA a lot. I said that 'Shocking Lack of Thereof' (spelled it wrong) is one of my favor on IABUTS (I love it) and he said with sarcastic smile "At least somebody likes it?" He also said that his music is much influenced by punk and old disco.
