Witness this

Spent Saturday evening at the Brussels Rhythm'n'Blues Club's fundraiser for three villages in India affected by the tsunami. Held at the BRBC's regular haunt, Le Sounds in Ixelles, highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the set by The Witness, a tight five piece 60s R&B combo, fronted by the magnetic Thong. Dubbed 'the Vietnamese wild man of rock', he certainly has a brooding stage presence, like a Hanoi Iggy Pop fronting The Troggs. Worth the entry fee, whatever the occasion.
