October 24, 2007, 17 years ago
LEAVES' EYES performed at the Metal Female Voices Festival in Wieze, Belgium on October 20th to an audience of over 3,500 people. The band headlined the event and filmed the show for a forthcoming DVD release. Vocalists Alex Krull and Liv Kristine have checked in with the following:
Alex Krull:
"We would like to say a big thank you to all fans, crewmembers and people who were involved in the DVD show last weekend in Wieze! The show was a blast and the DVD will be very special, that's for sure! Everybody was giving the best and we can be proud of the work we have done! The fans were incredible supporting us! Thank you!"Liv Kristine:
"Dear Friends & Fans,What a week-end! Last night we returned from our headliner show in Wieze. One thing is for sure: MFVF 2007 was fantastic, and for Leaves' Eyes it was absolutely amazing to headline the festival, moreover, to film the complete show for our DVD! I have no words to describe how thankful I am towards my band members, our crew (including those who built and transported the Viking ship), film team, pyro team, lightening team, the MFVF staff and of course the audience! All of you made this evening an unforgettable experience, and I'm so happy we have it on tape.
Our special day in Wieze started with a short practise at 8 a.m. on Saturday. I was a bit nervous concerning walking the stairs down from the Viking ship as I was to wear a very long dress at the beginning of the show. Secondly, I was worried about how and where I was to change my dresses during the show (there were 4 of them). Luckily our crew helped me to set up two walls right behind the ship, so I was safe. Walking the stairs however, was my job. Anyhow, as soon as the intro was running and I heard the applause of the audience in the fully packed concert hall, I felt 'safe' and everything went fine. I really enjoyed the show, and I was happy to hear at the signing session afterwards that the audience was happy, too. Of course we had a few technical difficulties but it didn't have a negative effect on our performance.
Meeting and greeting our fans and friends was another highlight for me. A warm thank you to all of you who brought presents to my son, including a KLM aeroplane which I couldn't find myself in any toy stores so far (Leon loved it!). At the after-show party we were happy to meet our friends from Battlelore, Elis, friends we only meet at festivals and some journalists and photographers whose work and friendship we really appreciate. At 4 a.m. we all went to bed, tired
but satisfied.
During my run this morning I was thinking that I'm very lucky to be in the middle of all this, moreover, that I'm so happy that everything went all right, especially that you all liked it and had a good time with us in Wieze."
Have a beautiful day & best wishes,
Liv
