The following poem is a rebelious ‘Smartlap’ about good ol’ Amsterdam as it was and ended. A ‘Smartlap’ was a flag with the lyrics of a songtext, which was held up high in the old cafes of Amsterdam to sing along with the performer. Not even 10 years ago a decade of tradition in undergroundparties in squats and other old buildings, was still alive. Though changed over the years it was the home of a lot of people in the underground movement of the city. Amsterdam as I knew it came to an end. People got older, got a ‘real’ life, but also the city changed. It got cleaned up and became beautiful but boring.

Now the rough edges are back! We are fighting for new spaces and venues…! So check out PHOENIX AM*DAM in my links section and be part of this nostalgic experience!

When I stopped with ‘Jolly Roger’, I decided to end organizing parties completely. I still liked the name of that party and the Logo Design I did for it though. Since the ‘Jolie Rouge’ was the old name of the Pirate flag, it became the name for my Logo Design, Flags & Backdrop department.

In 2007 I was asked to put up a program one sunday a month in Winston Kingdom in Amsterdam. It was to be a Rock n’ Roll party called SideburnsStomp. I did everything myself and made a lot of backdrops for the bands that came and play on stage. Later I decided to change the name into Jolly Roger. That name made the flyer ‘concept’ easier to come up with. Under that name there where a few more editions, but in the end I pulled the plug. Too quiet! The bands you see here, with the backdrops in the background, are The Bloody Demons, The Body Bags and G.O.H. (Photo’s of G.O.H. taken by Willeke). From here I want to thank everyone who was involved and played on stage!

I recently got my hands on some photo’s which where taken on several 10.000 volt parties. This party was all about Punk and Rock n’ Roll. In the background you can see details of the Logo Flag I made for this party. It still exists in a new venue in Tilburg called ‘The Little Devil’.

In 2007 I setup another party. It was a Rock n’ Roll fest with bands. I named it SideburnsStomp. From here I’d like to thank all the bands who came and play!

Psychoruin was a Psychobilly party which lasted for two times. Also for this party I did the Logo Design. At about the same time I was involved in another Rock n’ Roll party called 10.000 volt. I think it’s still there somewhere in Brabant.
