Finally, The Rocketeers' very own LORRY has set foot on Belgian soil again! We quickly tied her to a chair and put a microphone
under her nose. Read all about her australian adventures in this special edition of the Rock-a-news!
"Australia is a land of pure rock'n'roll!" our heroine shouts. "I didn't particulary party that very much, though. And now that I come to think of it, I didn't
listen to that much music either.
But it is a beautiful country with incredibly friendly people and a very relaxed, easy-going way of life. And THAT is what
rock'n'roll is all about, no?"
You have been busking in the streets of Fremantle, how did you fare?
"To be honest, it didn't really work out well between me and the people in the those Fremantle streets. Maybe I just wasn't cut out to be singing in the
streets." (Or maybe they just don't know a good singer when they hear'm! - ed.)
What would you earn your rock'n'roll stars with, then?
"Instead of putting me on the streets, you have to put me on a stage! That's where it's at, and where I shine, man!
When in the land of Oz, what did you miss the most?
"Singing with the band. Definitely. And the friendship of some of my dearest Belgian mates."
Do you think the Rocketeers will soon play in Oz as well?
"Ooh I would LOVE that to happen, but you don't just organise such a thing. Everybody in the band is so busy everyday that it's not very likely. But I would really
dig playing with the band over there!"
What piece of Aussie culture have you taken back with you?
"A swinging and relaxed but DANGEROUS kind of nature! Watch out!"
What are you up to, back in Belgium?
"First, getting a new job. I'm running my socks off and I really want this to happen, fast! Saturday we play the first gig since I've returned, sunday we have
band practise and monday I have a job interview. What a busy life!"
From now on, will you be singing with an American or Australian tongue?
"None, really. But that's not what it's about! Our bandleader would love to hear me sing with a big fat American accent but
he'll have to wait (laughs)."
Thank you, Lorry, for this interview!
"You're welcome, mate!"

Thank you for showing up in August and sharing that nice and lovely day with us! We had a blast and hope you enjoyed the show (but we have a sneaky feeling
you did!)
Back to work
With Lorry back safe and sound, The Rocketeers will go to work again! It will be busy times for us: you can expect new band pictures soon! Furthermore, you will
rediscover some of the nice old tunes from before Lorry left to Australia on the coming shows. AND expect some brand spanking new songs on the november gig!
When that's done, the band will start pouring out new material which we hope to make availble for your audiosonic pleasure in 2008.
