The Independent on Sunday, january 2007: ³I generally prefer the definitive statement of a studio album to a live one, but this is heaps better than 2004¹s airless ŒBarricade¹. This Belgium band¹s brass and accordion-led music seems born of the beer-steeped venue and nourished by the enthusiasm of a responsive audience. Tracks such as Œdemain peut-être¹ take on a new life when you can hear the cheers and whoops of the inebriated audience as part of the dizzy carnival of noise. If you¹re a fan of their fellow style-splicing countrymen, Think of One, or the gypsy punk pop of Gogol Bordello, you¹ll love it.² Howard Male
