They topped just about every 2009 chart in Belgium radio land and now they are ready for a new single: Moodswing Baby.

The music video was made in collaboration with animator Gwen Vanderstraeten (mellon), who had this great idea for a music video and who worked for two months on the animation…

No doubt they will shortly be topping the charts in Belgium…

Absynthe Minded

The second single from the new album, Envoi, is a real gem. And it even becomes better if you know it is based on a poem by one of Belgium’s finest writers ever Hugo Claus. Absynthe Minded did so after an invitation by Poetracks, a Dutch initiative for setting Dutch or Flemish poems by famous writers to music:

One image in the music video struck me as familiar. It seems to refer to a cover of a single by Ghent based companions Soulwax:

The Soulwax - Absynthe Minded - Ghent connection

Absynthe Minded – Envoi lyrics:

My verses stand gawping a bit
I never get used to this
They lived here long enough
Enough!
I send them out of the house
I don’t wanna wait
Until their toes are cold
Enough!
I wanna hear the humming of the sun
Or that of my heart,
Hardening
Enough!
They don’t screw classically
They babble commonly
And bluster nobly
Enough! Enough!
In winter their lips leap
In spring they lie flat at the first warmth
They ruin my summer
And in autumn it’s girls and a broken heart
For another twelve lines on this sheet
I’ll hold my hand over their head
And then I’ll kick them out
Enough!
Go and pester elsewhere, one-cent rhymes
Find somebody who cares
Enough!
Go now on your high feet
This is where the graves laugh
When they see their guests
Enough!
One corpse on top of the other
Go now and stagger to her
Whom I do not know
Enough! Enough!
In winter their lips leap
In spring they lie flat at the first warmth
They ruin my summer
And in autumn it’s girls and a broken heart

Rock Werchter is the biggest and best known summer festival we have in Belgium and it was voted Best Music Festival in the World four times over the last five years.

Rock Werchter 2009

And it was a hot edition this year. While temperatures reached tropical hights, one great band after the other performed on the famous Werchter stages. Of course there was also room for some of Belgium’s best bands: Arsenal, Triggerfinger, Jasper Erkens, 2ManyDJs, The Hickey Underworld, Lady Linn & Her Magnificent Seven, Ghinzu and (really? no really?) Milk Inc.

If you missed it, don’t panic, there’s always YouTube. Below a short overview of the best Belgian band movies we could find so far.

The new Moiano album got quite good comments in the Belgian press (summer, feelgood, …) and Peter aims to affirm his position as musician with this record. In the past few years, he mainly worked with and for other artist like Gabriël Rios, Flip Kowlier and ex-Starflam‘s Baloji, which made him mainly a musician’s musician.

Moiano - 2nd Line

But that’s all about to change now with 2nd Line:

The ‘first line’ of the infamous jazz-funerals were the people as part of the ceremony, clubmembers, family and friends. Brightly coloured beads and feathers were offered to the ‘second line’. This referred to people who were attracted to the music. Such people would follow behind the ‘first line’. Later it became more common for these onlookers to mix in or even get ahead of the band and first line. To follow because one enjoyed the music came to be known as to ‘second line’.

First single of 2nd Line was Ethiopics, not Peter’s strongest singing performance, but a more than just nice song to enjoy during the long and hot summer that awaits us all:

Halfway there, a mad idea crossed their mind and they drove into a shop with their mopeds. Result: The Subs were arrested by the French police and they were obliged to delete the footage. Luckily, they managed to recover everything.

Official reaction:

“We had a great time and we would do it again anytime.”

Lyrics:

Talking, kissing that eve
She was hot, she was sweet
I had a drink in the bar
Took a walk on the street
And later on that night, I went back home
When I was back home,
I heard her voice
She wasn’t talking to me
But through the telephone
She left a message on my answering machine

It said
Well, love, love is on my mind
Love, love, love makes me feel alive
The moment I met you, the place, the time
Love, love was already on my mind
The one thing I live for
It’s like my gasoline

So we met again
I dressed up real good
Her read lips, red boots
We were kissing again
And then late that night she went home with me
And at my place
She had dinner with me
Romantic candle lights
Classic tunes
The master bedroom Wanted to be satisfied
And she said

Well love, love, is on my mind
Love, love love makes me feel alive
The moment I met you, that place, the time
Love, love was already on my mind
The one thing I live for
It’s like my gasoline

Love, love, is on my mind
Love, love love makes me feel alive
The moment I met you, that place, the time
Love, love was already on my mind
The one thing I live for
It’s like my gasoline
