Because you're mine
Screamin’ Jay Hawkins Tribute: ” Because you’re mine”.
Gorinchem
It was a nice and cosy atmosphere at grand café Soestdijk in Gorinchem, where we played together with several singer-songwriters last Sunday afternoon. René and Petra were both ill (flu, cold, throat infection and more) , but nevertheless: they played ! The music from Chabliz was slightly different from the music that’s usually played over there, but the people enjoyed it nevertheless. Nice place ! At Facebook you are able to find several pictures from the concert.
Concerts
We had a great time last sunday evening at JW in Rotterdam. We played right after singer-songwriters Lee-Leet and Catself who both sang like angels. Lee-Leet was also accompanied by a great drummer. The audience was very good and enthousiastic about all three acts. We all sold some albums and had a great evening.
This sunday afternoon we will play a semi-acoustic, unplugged concert together with David Savage in grand cafe Soestdijk in Gorinchem. Check our concerts-page for more details.

Poppies in flanders fields
Hi, we recorded this song to remember all fallen soldiers of WW1 because it’s Remembrance Day today:poppies in flanders fields http://soundcloud.com/chablizpopnoir/poppies-in-flanders-fields-1
We mastered the song a few days ago especially for today.
Videoclip
This weekend we spend a whole day in an old church in Bennebroek to record a videoclip for our song “Blue Strike”. We heard the song now for more than 50x ……..
It was great to make a small “movie” like this and we think it’s going to become an awesome clip. Thanks to Tristan van Doorn from Van Doorn AV Producties.

JW
Yesterday we had a great time with our concert in music cafe JW in Rotterdam ! It was the first gig avec our new guitarplayer Rene Meester and he did a great job ! Everybody agreed on the fact that our sound is much improved since we have a new guitarplayer ( the last years we played without guitars). The owners of JW looked after us very well and everybody was happy, except Pim, our pianist- keyboardplayer, he suffered from the flu but still managed to play well.
