Indigeste

In Brussels at Alice & Antoine’s apartment. We are about 20 seated around a large wooden table exhibiting a constellation of many bottles of Jupiler. Antoine, Alice, Ann and I discuss starting a band, none of us are musicians, the idea is to rehearse as little as possible in order to remain bad. This concept is pushed as far as making our rehearsals the actual concerts. We plan on asking 3 euros per person to come see us play. When I ask whether we should up the ticket prices to 5, Antoine explains to me that 3 keeps us in the ‘alternative-punk’ category. We all agree. Antoine suggests adding a performance art component to the band, he proposes to wear some sort of heavy duty rain coat and sit under a heat lamp during the course of the happening. As we discuss similar propositions, it becomes evident that the band should be named ‘Indigeste’. Our mascot would be a bleeding rabbit and ‘Indigeste’ would be written on a banner with the same rabbit’s puke. Anne says she wishes someone would be writing all of this down. I mentally am.
