COCA-COLA SESSIONS, this concert series in the ABClub couldn't have had an easier name. As of the '09-'10 season, our refreshing structural partner, whose name is hidden in this title, will be providing 10 (ten!) extra club concerts to support young (inter)national talent. All that for a beautiful and young audience. As a platform for new music, we can only applaud this initiative. An adventurous dive into the great pool of musical talent on the eve of a grand career. You want to discover the performers to be closing Rock Werchter of Pukkelpop within a few years, today already? Then don't miss any of the Coca Cola Sessions in the ABClub and relive your night out afterwards, thanks to an ABSession on our website.

The start of this concert series will take place on Sunday 1 November and with none less than Belgian sensation Customs on stage. The band is currently scoring pretty much the darkest summer-hit of 2009, as ‘Rex’ has been in Studio Brussel's Afrekening for almost 20 weeks in a row, and French-speaking counterpart Pure FM has discovered the band too. This new-wave indebted song has created high-expectations for Customs' debut, which will be in stores at the end of October. Their solid Pukkelpop concert was certainly a fine forerunner.

In 2005 Waldorf let his first LP loose upon the world. The untitled album combined loud guitars and catchy pop melodies, with Wolf's distinctive voice poured over them. In November 2008, more than 3.5 years after the first album, Wolf dived into the studio with Bruno Coussée (bass) and Steve Soulwax’Slingeneyer (drums). ‘Twelve Seconds to None’ is far removed from being the frivolous follow-up to the untitled debut of 2005. The new Waldorf album sounds a lot darker than its predecessor because Waldorf is angry, disappointed and frustrated and could find little reason to write an album full of catchy pop songs this time around. Whereas the first album was clearly pop-inspired, anno 2009 we get a Waldorf that goes from daring stoner to progressive rock, with even a dash of gypsy or singer/songwriter here and there.
