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.

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:
