DOLPHINS INTO THE FUTURE (be)
CIRCLE BROS (be)

Thu 9 september 2010, Slachthuisstraat 100, Gent ( | 5 EUR)

MATTHEW MONDANILLE is the modern king of pop. Nostalgic cassette melodism reminding much of nineties lo-fi experimentals and eighties high school fun. Ducktails contributed a track for the new 4-way split 7" 'lune atroce/soleil amer'. Intimate après-summer music!

DOLPHINS INTO THE FUTURE will be releasing his new lp on KRAAK. His esoteric under water wanderings are now expanded with cheezy new age fusion, bringing in keyboard saxophone sounds. Steve Hillage meets Bobby Beausoleil meets Sauna Sounds vol 24...

The uncrowned king of Belgian lofi is back! Wim Lecluyse's CIRCLE BROS recently put out a cd on Orphanology and an amazing LP on his own Morctapes imprint. Improvised drone songs made in a foggt environment somewhere in between Windy & Carl and Richard Youngs...

Burlen van Herten in Marche-en-Famenne

Sat 25 september 2010, bos, marche-en-Famenne ( | 9 eur (incl bus))

After we discovered the cd "Le Brame Des Cerfs, Forêts d'Automne / Rutting Red Deers" on the Frémaux & Associés imprints, we immediately fell in love with the sounds of French deers. Deers are the most innovative experimental musicians of the century, taking much from modern black metal vocalists and contemporary sound poetry. In the Walloon forests they hide as well for unholy and highly erotic rituals. This will be the bus trip of the year, heading to the heart of the Ardennes for a long walk through nature in search of nonconformist deer sounds with the local forester.

NONHORSE (usa)
FLORIS VANHOOF (be)

Tue 12 october 2010, B50, Gent ( | 5 EUR)

NONHORSE (G Lucas Crane) makes high speed collages with a couple of boxes of coloured cassettes, some tape decks and a handful of effects. A clash between old and new technology resulting in spectacular contemporary sound rituals.

Synth builder, tape glue-er, film shooter and cutter FLORIS VANHOOF just released his debut vinyl record on Ultra Eczema Heavy Attention Disorder Productions uit Antwerpen. Dirty analog buzz mud and maybe even deconstructed neo-acied! Start the hype!

GREG MALCOLM (NZ)
SHELDON SIEGEL (B)
IGNATZ (B)

Fri 15 october 2010, Scheld'Apen, antwerpen ( | 6-7 EUR)

It has been a while since we heard GREG MALCOLM. You probably remember his amazing lp "Swimming In It". He's still playing three guitars at the time, evoking beautiful free drone walhallas, while his feet gently sleep.

SHELDON SIEGEL are Belgium's most promising free improv combo, challenging cello, sax, drums and tape for a friendly fight with their young hands and minds. brain frying. check out their split-lp with Razen on the label!

IGNATZ is a dirty middle-aged man with a sick mind, bad jokes and a modern blues guitar.

CHARLIE PARR (usa)
ED NOLBED (be)
WIO (be)

Thu 18 november 2010, B50, Gent ( | 5 EUR)

CHARLIE PARR is an old American story: the mirror image of the American Dream, failed most that is to fail, but traded everything for a 12-string and a flannel shirt at the exact right moment. True country blues and trad folk!

ED NOLBED is Jürgen De Blonde in songwriter mode. A blend of nineties nostalgia and seventies soft rock. Shed some tears over the hits of KRAAK's early years and new Eno-esque brilliance.

WIO is another old dude who traded lofi fame for a slow career in modernist hobbit house construction. These days he turned to Flemish popular hit style music. Let's hope he uses enough reverb!
