A new date has now been established for the relocated Soap&Skin concert ... namely Thursday 18 March. Because Soap&Skin was forced to disappoint fans in October due to vocal problems, she is now going to present her new show under the title Soap&Skin Ensemble. So Anja Plaschg will not be alone on stage, rather being accompanied by a 6-member band (including the likes of a contrabassist, a cellist, a violinist,...)

"'Lovetune for Vacuum' is one of the finest albums that you'll hear this year.. … Her piano playing is staggeringly rich, her voice glides effortlessly from plaintive Cat Power to ethereal Dead Can Dance-heights and back." (Humo)
"One of the most idiosyncratic debuts of recent years. Soap&Skin would appear to hail from a parallel pop-universe, from where previous greats like Kate Bush and Antony & The Johnsons have come to us." (De Volkskrant)

Soap&Skin is the alter ego of young Austrian Anja Plaschg. She wrote her debut ‘Lovetune For Vacuum’ between her 15th and 18th birthdays and it is immersed in melancholy. Not so surprising when you know that she's covered Nico in the past. The combination of her hypnotic voice and piano certainly sounds unique. What's more, it contains a bit of collaboration from fellow countryman and electronica-guru Fennesz, with whom she also shares a predilection for electronica. Seeing as we're busy quoting anyway – "Soap&skin is a memorable musical adventure, so beautiful, pure and intense that it would be a shame to waste too many words on it." according to Soundlike.

Support act will be young producer/pianist Nils Frahm from Berlin. Frahm plays contemporary, minimal classical music and has already worked with Peter Broderick (now enlisted into Efterklang) who also co-produced his album 'The Bell'. In connection with his first performance on Dutch soil, Kindamuzik wrote the following about Nils Frahm: "He plays stunning, melancholy and enormously diverse piano pieces". Bet that he turns the heads of SOAP&SKIN fans?

Magisch concert met een knipoog naar de donkere, duistere en toch ook wel mysterieuze kantjes van de geest... vooral de nummers met samples gingen toch wel even recht naar de ziel. Many thanks to soap & skin.

Knap optreden, veel beter dan op Pukkelpop, vocaal en qua sfeer. De keuze voor een ensemble bleek eveneens zeer geslaagd. Maar misschien hield ik wel nóg meer van Nils Frahm!

Niet minder dichterlijk was het schitterende voorprogramma Nils Frahm! Mooie avond, na de eerste mooie, warme dag. De lente is begonnen! http://users.telenet.be/piet.vercaempst/Muziek/Concerten/2009/soap&skin.htm

O voodoo volle maan van onderhuids verdriet supermelancholisch zeepgeur op een wolfhuid Fakkels door de nachtelijke grot een instinctieve onderwereld een duistere piano en stem laveren in het luchtledige beangstigende atmosferen Vergiftende vlammen een ondoordringbare spelonk naar een na-aardse plek Achter de bezeten vleugel dreigend donderend getokkel Daarboven in een kille spookruimte muizen enge beestjes met bevreemdende geluidjes Op een lijkwit doek een kwistige inktzwarte kwast een krijsend schilderij Geen fijne penseelstrelingen maar aanhoudende, ruwe trillingen triestbezwerende stemklank diepdroeve pianosnaren Ijs kraakt op het bevroren meer wachtmuziek plenst op een maanverlichte oever Bij het pontveer naar Hades wordt niet afgerekend met een troosteloze stuiver maar met een pluimpunt van Icarus Geen tweede kans nodig je leeft maar één keer

Dit was zeker de moeite om aanwezig te zijn! Eén vraagje echter, wat was het laatste lied dat ze acapella zong?

@ldbbxl: from the (longer) Dutch version of this message: "Aangekochte tickets blijven geldig. Indien de nieuwe datum niet past, gelieve de tickets uiterlijk 31 december terug te sturen naar : Ancienne Belgique, Ticketshop, Anspachlaan 110, 1000 Brussel." So yes, they remain valid, but if the date doesn't suit you, you need to send the tickets back before the end of the year.

I guess the tickets for the 4th October cancelled show are still valid?
