Busiest day of the year
On June 3rd 2011 we played at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. It was great!
It was the busiest day of the year at the museum: 8000 visitors showed up during the day. The waitingline outside was really long with people wanting to see our show of course ;)

Le Dimanche SOLD OUT
We set up our gear in the entrance hall, while people that were doing audiotours almost bumped into our guitaramps. Jurgen got to play on a real concertpiano with a great sound. VJ Martijn could use three beamers: one was projecting on a screen behind us and up in the air there were two immense walls on which he made a visual presentation. Supercool! Our drummer DJ Sunday and friend Monsieur Discoteque spinned some cinematic records to get in the right mood and at 20:30 we started our concert. Alex did a great job with the sound & our new song ‘The Gambler’ really caught the listeners attention. You could hear the music though the whole museum, so we figured at least 800 people must have heared our songs. After the show Renske sold all the twenty albums we had with us, some are going to China, others to Argentina. We actually signed some cd’s as well! :) If you want to see a little impression of the show, check out this facebook post. (make sure you’re logged in to your facebook-account)

Thank you for the cd-player!
We thanked everybody over there and headed back home. When we got back in Oss and unloaded the van (Thanks Josina!) we discovered a strange looking flightcase we hadn’t seen before…. We opened it and discoverd a brand new Pioneer CD-player from the Van Gogh Museum! Oops! Apparently the security was only instructed to watch the paintings instead of these cool audio-toys :) Now Marjolein has to go shopping in Amsterdam and bring it back of course.

What’s up next
So, that was one of our last shows for the time being. This summer we’ll lay low: we’ll be finishing some new songs we have & we’ll make plans for new gigs and of course a new album!
We’ll keep you posted as soon as we have more news. And right now we’re creating a bandcamp page, where you can listen to all the tracks of the first album.

Take care friends.

Best,
le Dimanche

January 14th we played as a support act for the British post-rock band Codes In The Clouds at the 013 in Tilburg (NL). We had a great time: supernice people at 013 with good food and ditto technicians, a wonderful crowd and a most important of all: a good show!

Check out the review & photos on the 3voor12Tilburg website (in Dutch).

Check out our YouTube-channel!
We’ve put 6 songs online: also a new song which is not on the album ‘Colour of Shade’: Kites.
We hope you’ll enjoy it!

During our cd-releasparty our friends Eef, Frank and Anneloes filmed the whole concert and they’ve made some really nice videos of it. Also Nancy and Jurgen did a wonderful job in recording and mixing the audio.

We have a distribution deal with Bertus Distribution!
Bertus is a really cool company: they started out as a small recordshop in Rotterdam (NL) in a street Marjolein used to live for a while during her study. Now they’ve turned into one of the most complete distributors in Benelux and Europe.
Good news!

The performance on October 18th 2009 in ‘the ‘used-to-be-school’ was very interesting.
The venue used to be a school for disabled children, so there were a lot of adjustments. The classroom where we were situated, had consoles placed on the sealing, for better acoustics for impaired hearing children.
Because of that the sound was BEAUTIFUL! We would like to do our rehearsals there! ;)

The organization did a good job as they had darkened the room completly.The visuals by Martijn Bos made the show complete again & Martijn showed a lot of new tricks!
DJ Monsieur Discotheque also joined us, so we all discovered a lot of new music to listen to.

A performance that fits the list of special performance-locations!

Our ‘Cinematic Evening With Le Dimanche’ on October 3rd 2009 has been such a blast!
The atmosphere was just perfect and we’ve all had the most wonderful releaseparty we could ever imagine.
A great audience, superb sound & lights and before the show we enjoyed a lovely homemade dinner. VJ Martijn Bos surprised many people and our musical friends Jos, Marije, Marijke, Erik and Noortje played some beautiful arrangements to the songs. Afterwards DJ Monsieur Discoteque played some great tunes and we ended at a cool afterparty at the Lollipop.
We want to use this opportunity to thank everyone for this wonderful evening!

So what’s new?
Kindamuzik wrote a good review & some friends have made professional audio and videorecordings. You can check the Le Dimanche YouTube Channel for videos for six tracks!

Cheers,
Le Dimanche
