🍒 21h00 - ROCKTAGON invites you to travel back to a time, not too long ago, when musicians got together, formed bands and played real live instruments. A time when the music charts were dominated by guitar bands: Rock and roll bands, Classic rock bands, Punk bands, Indie, Alternative and New Wave bands, Britpop and Grunge bands. A time when audiences waved lit cigarette lighters in the air as bands played slow songs at festivals. A time when MTV played music videos by bands instead of reality TV shows. A time when young people excitedly caught the bus to town on a Saturday afternoon specifically to buy the new album by one of their favourite bands.
This was a time before the music at live shows was supplied by some dude standing behind a table with a Macbook Pro and a USB drive.
It was a time before Ed Sheeren.
It was a time when you owned an actual camera. And a wristwatch. And a torch. A diary. Envelopes and stamps. It was a time before your phone was just another app on your phone.
It was a time when you could lie outrageously on your CV and your employer would never find out. It was a time when you could wonder “How many horses are there on planet Earth?” and have absolutely no way of finding an answer to that question. It was a time when we can’t even remember how we booked a hotel room in a different city without online booking.
It was a time when our thoughts and movements were not being recorded 24/7. When we could have secrets. And fun. It was a time before it was possible for ChatGPT to generate this text (?)
This was the time of the guitar bands. A great time.
Travel back with us, ROCKTAGON. 8pm, Rock Classic, Brussels.
