[CANCELLED: October 8, 2020] Soulwax [rescheduled from February 29]
After having this concert postponed for technical reasons back in February, I was quite interested in seeing it in seeing the rescheduled production. So I’m pretty bummed that the whole tour has been cancelled.
I hope they decide to try again when it’s safe.
I haven’t thought about the Belgian band Soulwax in about 15 years. I bought their 1998 album Much Against Everyone’s Advice and then really enjoyed brothers David and Stephen Dewaele’s side project 2ManyDJs (whose release As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt. 2) was an amazing mash-up album).
I really had no idea they were still making muisic (and apparently putting on incredible shows).

If you’re never seen Soulwax live, David and Stephen Dewaele treat a live band show like a DJ set, with songs flowing into one another, and builds and drops. (Their 2006 show at long-gone Brooklyn club Studio B was one of the best shows I saw that decade.) You can get a feel for what to expect on their 2017 album, From Deewee which is a seamless one-hour set they recorded live in their Deewee studio in one take.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to go to this show, but then the show was inexplicably postponed.
As Brooklyn vegan put it
Dammit! Soulwax were to have started their first U.S. tour in forever beginning in February but they’ve just announced that it’s been postponed. It’s not visa issues, for once, but production design for the group’s new stage set:
We are always committed to delivering the best show we can and have designed a brand new set up which sadly just won’t be ready in time for March. We are working on new dates – please look out for an announcement very soon.
We would like to thank everyone who bought tickets for these shows and look forward to seeing everyone later this year.
