Be Your Own Pet + Cake Bake Betty + Malle Pietje & The Bimbo's
Melkweg, Amsterdam, 17 april 2006


The first band wasn't really a band, it was girl who calls herself Cake Bake Betty. I think she was 17 or something.. It wasn't bad but her songs were never longer than 1,5 minutes and she didn't play longer than 15 minutes altogether.


After her it was time for Malle Pietje and the Bimbo's, hell yeah. Oh and I almost forgot to mention that Georgina Verbaan was also there! She's a Dutch actress/soapie, at first we didn't even recognize her because she looked like all the other fifteen-year-old girls with tight jeans and converse.. well whatever. Malle Pietje bla started and Anneke didn't like them at all, but I was quite amused. Okay the girls were stupid but I got all excited about playing music in a band again because what they were doing was so easy.


And then BYOP! We had already seen them walking around all the time, except Jamina, geez she's tiny! And the bassplayer's afro is huge and funky because it waves along so well while he's playing :P Anyway they rocked! Jamina's vocals sounded better than I expected, but sometimes she was moving so much that she didn't pay attention to singing anymore (eh?) and the rest of the band was also amazing. They played for about 25 minutes and then they did an encore of at best 1 minute and then they were gone.

Some more pics (Anneke's and mine):
