A celebration of grief, they call it. In any case Crying Boys Cafe is a remarkable band. This four-piece from Rotterdam combines musical happiness with an appreciation of the fragility of life. A bit like the gospel songs in the cotton fields, their songs are cheerful regardless of the situation of the singers. And Crying Boys Cafe present some old fashioned prisoner blues and exotic eighties pop with an indie twist. Their concert will be a ritual of mixed emotions, that much is sure.
