Belgian artists and bands on Twitter
Posted by JayAre in Big in Belgium, Music News on October 20th, 2009
You can’t turn on the news or read a newspaper these days without Twitter getting mentioned. Twitter is a microblogging service that allows you to post status updates in 140 characters (or less). Why 140? That is exactly the maximum length of an SMS message.
Twitter allows you to follow your friends and colleagues, but you can also follow what your favorite band or artist is up to. The Belgian rock scene has also discovered Twitter as a medium to connect with their fans and so we are proud to present to you: the one and only Belgian artists and bands on Twitter overview.
Sounds great, doesn’t it? (not really…) But anyway, here we go:
Besides a link to the Twitter account itself, you can also see one example tweet from the artist or band (so you can immediately get an idea what they are tweeting about). If you know any other twitterati from the Belgian rock scene, feel free to leave your comments and we’ll update this list. BTW, did I already mention you should follow @BigInBelgium on Twitter? BTW, you can follow our Belgian artists and bands on Twitter list here. We’ll try to keep it up-to-date.
Playing a show in DILBEEK at 8:00 PM today at VIJVERFESTIVAL

Das Pop is back
Posted by JayAre in Albums, Big in Belgium on October 18th, 2009
It took Bent Van Looy and the other guys from Das Pop almost 4 years and the help of the Dewaele brothers (Soulwax) to get their third album, conveniently called Das Pop, in the stores. But the waiting time was totally worth it: Das Pop is back and what’s more, they sound better than ever.
In September they did an exclusive session in the StuBru studio. Das Pop played some surprising versions of five new songs and they even brought a string quartet. The playlist looked like this:
- Fool for love
- Underground
- Let me in
- The last thing
- Never get enough
And what’s even more, there is some live footage available from the StuBru Das Pop session. Enjoy!
Fool for love:
