Eli Goffa, aka Elie De Prijcker, is a new project from this long-time habitué of The Human. Sweet Americana, roots & soul and a voice... Man, what a voice... Worn sounds and terrific song-writing is the recipe for this magnificent band. This is where words leave off and Eli Goffa takes over.
Four musical allies pay homage to the singing angel with faithful and recognizable versions of Jeff Buckley's known and lesser known songs. The “Mississippi Swimmers” captures the essence of Buckley's greatest moments and gives, as close like no other, man's authentic observation of painful love.
Without vocals MOTOR!K releases a dynamic that grows completely out of the three protagonist speedy ensemble into pulsating hypnotic beats at it's best!
They sound like the unruly misstress of Madensuyu, love to experiment and label themselves as an association, but are only a duo. From instrumental Mike Patton-esque vibes, to Mogwai-like structures, paired with a playfulness akin to De Portables, over a strong Kraut-pulse of Kosmische Musik.
We have a new band in the roster, Roza Parks, a dark 80's New Wave band, and yet this cheers us up. Because Roza Parks makes great music, has a nice tracklist and a great deal of potential. Mario Goossens (Triggerfinger) is also convinced, he controlled the buttons of their first album 'Eleven is Nine' and their recently released EP 'Sound of a City' whose cover can be hung instantly on the wall. Also Stijn Meuris is a fan and took the band with him as support.
The band around Pieter Peirsman, the first male live singer of Hooverphonic, full-time hyperkinetic and musical splinter bomb, loaded with highly flammable song material. His nose for good melodies and powerful hooks impressed K's Choice and Jef Neve who promptly took him along the Radio 1 sessions and Café Corsari. As a vocal acrobat with supple chords he swings on the trapezes between Buckley, Cornell, McCartney and Neil Hannon. Peirsman played on almost all major stages from AB in Brussels to Paradiso in Amsterdam. Sooner or later this Slow Pilot will catch up with you.
With a boundless imagination, The Valerie Solanas have been able to build bridges between the most incompatible music genres for years. Think Frank Sinatra, Nick Cave, Jethro Tull, The Doors, just to name a few. A unique band that is teeming with creative eclectic outbursts and literary references. Live, visual artist Bert Lezy, depicts the subject of the lyrics on a big screen.
Harmonic basses, mantric rhythms and ethereal grooves in a sitar-tuned cosmic dimension. Welcome to our odyssey. This is The Wild Century.
Wistful Americana and typical Calexico sounds are no longer reserved for sweaty Americans on the Mexican border! Tigre Blanco makes sweltering songs, where americana, film music and soul are forming an alliance. Music that sounds like the soundtrack of a new ‘paella-western’ from Tarantino: dark gypsy soul with a raw twist.
