LnSaint

LnSaint

For project Roll With It we formed a rockband and named it LnSaint. We wrote two songs for the showcase in Frascati WG (January 2009) and because we got the vibe we continued. Wrote more songs, played a main part in the Roll With It Tour through the Balkan this summer and now we’re back with some serious Art Core setlist.

In September/Oktober 2010 we’ll drive back into the Balkan for a tour of a month, working together with local bands and to play gigs at the bigger stages we couldn’t play at last summer, because of our schedule. This new tour will have again a strong focus on public space performances.

LnSaint @ Skena Up

We’re back and that’s the only negative point of this trip. This weekend (4-7 december 2009) we joined the Skena Up festival in Prishtina, Kosovo. With LnSaint to rock an after party (see the amazing review we got (it says in a lot of Albanian words that we are radical performers, brought energy and inspiration). ‘THUS’, by MTG BLONT & ‘HURAH’, a play by Menno Vroon, were presented in the theatre competition of this film & theatre festival. We got invited by Hana Qena, directing student and programmer of Skena Up and a dear friend after our Roll With It tour this summer. It was great to be back in Kosovo with the band and very exciting to experience the audience, confronting them with two quite strong proposals of mime theatre.

Sunday, after performing the last piece I got this overwhelming feeling, experiencing the power of communication through Performing Arts. The differences and boundaries disappear when the audience is touched by your proposal, difficulties in language are solved by hugs, a wink and some good old pantomime. Too bad we couldn’t stay longer. Now we did not get to see a lot of work by others…

I would like to thank everyone who supported us to get to Kosovo once more: This trip represents exactly why I do this, can’t wait till September, when LnSaint will travel through the Balkan again.

“Nothing” on the radio

When we were in Prishtina Kosovo we slept at the popular city radiostation Urban FM. They heard our band LnSaint playing and liked it so much that they played some of our songs on the radio and Bas performed a live version of “nothing”.

Apparently the audience of Urban FM likes us too because today we got an email from one of the radio Dj’s that “Nothing” was requested three times in a week . LnSaint still buzzing through the Kosovo Ether.

We are planning to go back to Prishtina in December to play again with the band and to perform with MTG Blont.
