Rock Werchter 2009, a BiB overview

The first weekend of summer vacation in Belgium is traditionally the Rock Werchter weekend. 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.

Moiano 2nd Line

Moiano, the band around Peter Lesage, just released after 4 years of silence their second album 2nd Line. 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:

For their new My Punk music video, The Subs decided to drive from Belgium to France on mopeds and film the entire trip.

The Subs - My Punk

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.”

That’s the spirit!
