Tim,Thomas and I were sitting in a guitarschool in Sint-Kathelijne-Waver the name of the school was GIZON.
Then we made a band that we called Gizonband.
We all agreed that Gizonband isn't the most sexy name for a rockband.
We had to find a new name,that was hard because you all have to agree with the name.
I think that 200 or 300 names had passed for example flying panda.
The Exicuties,Pavlov so bad.
It's not over,ever I'll have it.
Who is there,French fries,YEAH.
Toon,this is for you. Thank you.
Good my food is here.
We were thinking about a name towards to Bandit,Bandits
Toon want to explain on a friendly way that he doesn't like it.
It's special but we had thought in advance that we don't want to use the word band in it.
But that was more in the mind of a band what we had with Gizonband a band from something in front of it
The explaining was oké but it were the movements what makes it overdone.
But your explanation.
There where other things in front.
But if you do it so whit band in front of it than it's different and that sounds good.
He sits there on a chair.
That's what the beatles had to.
But unfortunately, that name was already taken by a local band.
At the end it became Bandits,we thought it sounds cool.
I had to get used to it in the beginning.That was a new name,I had to switch.
Then you had to .... about it for a couple of days. Think.
The gizonschool is were it al began.
There Tim,Thomas and I where sitting.
BOYS,can you come to here than we can do a soundchecking.
That was the last preformance with the Gizonband.
Yes thats true.
That was in the Gizonschool with Laura.
Bandits plays there own song Stop!.
By the preformance there were lots of people but thats was weird because everybody knows (at least) one of the persons who plays guitar.
So a critcal public.
You are hearing Avril Lavigne with What the hell.
Jasper has a very special way to deal with nerves.
He had suddenly disappeared.
Who does that five minutes before a preformance?
Where are they?
Laura had also disappeared.
Here they aren't.
Come on we can call Laura.
We are going to call Laura.
Yes,hello
Yes,hello Laura
Why are you calling me?
Where are you?
We are in the dressing room.
That's typical Jasper and Laura.
A real player.
We couldn't let them there alone for long.
Yes,we found them. The dressing room.
He has got his clothes still on.
Where were you searching for me?
Outside
But we were first on the stand.
We were only talking.
You know probably the Gizonband.
Then it was time to say goodbye to the Gizonband.
Now the Gizonband but later Bandits.
Bandits plays Stop! their own Song and there first single.
Then it was over .... with the Gizonband.
Then it ends where it al begon. Sorry an emotional moment.
And Toon what are you idols?
My idols... I'm always a fan from Clouseau,I think Selah Sue is very good and I like music from the seventies.
And the Thomas?
Me, ACDC who more? Bob Marley ehh yes.
And the Tim?
I like Bart Peeters very much especially live, as Thomas Bob Marley that's chill music.
And you Jasper?
Ehh.. yes Coldplay,Airtraffic,Red Hot Chili Peppers and Selah Sue.
I am also a great fan from Adele.
We're here today in the studio from Guus to record our first single Stop!.
Guus has got a cool studio.
With crazy guitars,cool,very cool.
Is the procuding started? We could try anything.
Tim had to give a show.
Tim plays high way on hell.
That couldn't take longer because we need to record.
We have two days to record,so you had to be concentrated and focused.
So START.
Our first real studio recording was excited because we hadn't done that before.
Guus and Wouter are the producers,Wouter is sitting much behind the computer.
And Guus is there also and gives us tips and says what to do.
Good,I will tune it on in F and we also have a version in E.
Feel free to sing with it.
We found it a very good song from the first time we heard it.
Wouter let us hear different versions in different keys and some lays us better than others.
It sounds very good in that key.
We were all personly for the E,because it is richer.
Sometimes it's to much don't you think?
Yes,that's true.
Shall we set the E on.
We have decided later to choise the one with the lown keys.
The first take we do it's only technical. Sing it as usual.
I had to go first in that thing.
Some moments I had to sing smaller and I was feeling that on my voice so I had to take a voice pill.
bahh, that disgusting pills with honey I had to vomit from it.
Jasper had already sing in his part and know Toon is busy and then I and Thomas can record our voice.
Yes,we are not at home jet.
And then we are going to record the instruments.
The bass and the drum.
Everything is recorded seperated so every instrument alone.
And then they can make a good mix of it.
STOP! the recorded version.
Steffi Verheye says "that's a very beautiful song".
Maren Vandeputte says "I'm a proud bandita,I love you guys."
If you are recording you are feeling you a monkey in the zoo because you're sitting in a room with glass and people after that glass are looking at you.
Nick Verheyden says "Very good music. Keep rocking".
khouvanjullie says "You're doing very good!!!!!!! ps Jasper, you can sing,playing guitar and piano very well XX"
If Toon is drumming he always has funny faces.
Sometimes you think he had to cry.
I was concentrated and then I hadn't apparently all my facial muscles under controll.
Mijnmeisjeisdeborah says "That's very cool,good !!!".
Lennert Vercammen says "You make very cool music yow".
Kitana Real Publie says ":O I'm loving BANDITS very hard XXXX".
NEXT TIME
I hope you enjoyed it Eva
