In a factory, we follow the path of rubbishes which after several operations will become something new.

Rock Werchter 2009, a BiB overview
Posted by JayAre in Big in Belgium, Music News, Music Video on 08/07/2009
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.
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.
Arsenal (Lotuk):
Triggerfinger (performing live on guitar and bike!):
Jasper Erkens (Everybody Is The Same):
2ManyDJs:
The Hickey Underworld:
Lady Linn & Her Magnificent Seven (I Don’t Wanna Dance):
Ghinzu (Kill The Surfers):
Milk Inc. (a non-conventional choice, a big gamble, but apparently also a big success):
The big Werchter Whirlwind (strange image, a whirlwind over the festival terrain. A few people were wounded):
New album for Ghinzu: Mirror Mirror
Posted by JayAre in Albums, Big in Belgium on 29/03/2009
Tomorrow, March 30th, the guys from Ghinzu release their third album Mirror Mirror. Although they come from Brussels, Belgium, their fame mainly reached France so far. But with the new album, Ghinzu hopes to get some airplay in Belgium as well.
Their music is often compared to Radiohead, but maybe that’s a bridge too far. Think more of a combination of (hard)rock, progrock and electronics. In the french press Ghinzu is often called “le dEUS wallon“, or the dEUS counterpart from the french speaking part of Belgium.
The new album Mirror Mirror is promoted with this rather cool video:
Tracklisting Mirror Mirror:
- Cold Love
- Take It Easy
- Mother Allegra
- Mirror Mirror
- Dream Maker
- The End of the World
- This Light
- This War is Silent
- Je t’Attendrai
- Birds in my Head
- Kill the Surfers
- Interstellar Orgy
Let’s wish them all the luck in the world, and maybe you can see them at this year’s Rock Werchter festival where Ghinzu has a spot in the Pyramid Marquee on sunday.
Enjoy their biggest success so far, Do You Read Me? in an acoustic version:
