Deb Googe at the Ancienne Fee Verte in Anlier, Belgium on 26 November 2023.
Copied from a previous post, a few words about the venue:
The Ancienne Fée Verte is a wonderful and very unique venue, located in the middle of nowhere in the deepest South of Belgium. A former farmhouse, the building was previously home to an alcohol shop, as well as to the smallest pub in Belgium. After the shop moved to new premises in Habay-la-Neuve, the pub closed its doors, much to the huge disappointment of this frequent visitor, as well as many others. However, the place reopened as an intimate concert venue in 2022, with the backing of the Entrepôt in Arlon, much to the delight of the pub’s former patrons. Concerts take place in the afternoon on Sundays and public holidays only on a maximum monthly basis, the team behind it all being volunteers. Due to the limited space inside the venue, concerts are mainly acoustic or semi-acoustic with the audience capacity limited to around 50 people.
This afternoon’s show is by Deb Googe, the former bass player with My Bloody Valentine, Thurston Moore Group and Brix Smith. Deb plays hypnotic bass lines with layered effects (loops/pedals) and recordings to build intricate soundscapes. Playing alone at first, she is joined during her set by a guitarist and keyboard player who go under the name of Too Many Things and who add additional depth and texture to the songs.
An unusual but very enjoyable afternoon at the wonderful Ancienne Fee Verte in Anlier.
