Belgian bands Triggerfinger and The Black Box Revelation are performing at The Great Escape in Brighton (UK), one of the most important showcase festivals in Europe.

Both bands are playing on saturday May 16. During the 3-day festival, almost 300 bands perform live in more than 34 clubs. The festival aims at ‘export ready bands’ and reaches some 3.000 music professionals and 10.000 music lovers.

And what does The Great Escape have to say about The Black Box Revelation?

The Black Box Revelation are a totally fresh rock-sensation indeed, but duo Jan & Dries are “old souls” too, with roots in the blues and the sixties. The two friends from Brussels started playing together as “The Mighty Generators” when they were only 12 and 14 years old, kicked out their bass player, became The Black Box Revelation and have since risen in popularity with the music press adoring their debut album “Set Your Head On Fire”. On stage The Black Box Revelation are a runaway train, combining the best ingredients of idols like Led Zeppelin, The Datsuns, The Rolling Stones, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Stooges and the band follow up their European shows with Eagles of Death Metal with a performance at The Great Escape.

About Triggerfinger:

Triggerfinger hail from Belgium but play a brand of stoner rock that sounds like it was created in the Californian desert with a layer of smoke above their heads. Obvious comparisons can be made to Queens of the Stone Age and the various side projcets that Mr Josh Homme is involved in. After all, singer and guitarist Ruben has an identical earth rumbling growl to Mark Lanegan and that can only be a good thing. For every seductive shuffle that Triggerfinger create there is an accelarating ‘Fear and Loathing’ foot stomper to hypnotise and paralyse. It’s music that is designed to be played live and loud. Very loud.

Loud. Very loud… Rock on!
