Friday 28 février @ AB:
19u00 Club: Yuko
The essence of fresh and effervescent. See CDs: For Times When Ears Are Sore and As If We Were Dancing. With a new, third CD out in early 2014. Indeed, suddenly with elements of classical and opera music!? Plus a fresh line-up, apparently: Kristof Deneijs (vocals - guitar), Karen Willems (drums - Zita Swoon / Inwolves), Jasper Maekelberg (guitar - Faces On TV / produced for the likes of Mintzkov) and Thomas Mortier (bass). Yu! KO!

19u40 Box: King Dalton
Royal alias for folk wizards Pieter and Jonas De Meester, Thomas Vincke and 2 musical icons tout court: Jorunn Bauweraerts (Lais/Prima Donkey) and Tomas De Smet (Zita Swoon/Think of One/Broken Circle Breakdown Band). Avant garde folk-blues and a debut CD that sounds 'melancholic like Karen Dalton, groovy like Morphine, raw like Tow Waits & sexy like Prince, that's the sound of King Dalton!' Ah bon!

20u30 Club: The Feather
A newcomer in de Belgian music scene! The Feather is the side project of Thomas Medard, singar/guitar player of the band Dan San. The result of his work is ‘Invisible’, which he created entirely by himself: producing, recording and mixing it on his own. The result is dreamy and melancholy music that invites you along on a gentle emotional journey.

21u20 Box: Vismets
Fed by various experiences and influences, Vismets is on the verge of finishing their second album album. A vein that always has rock flowing through it but one that contains rather more pop and psyche. The band from Brussels can't wait to get back up on stage to share this new universe and to again play those strong titles that get the masses dancing!

22u30 Club: Robbing Millions
Excited as ever, the five musicians of Robbing Millions land straight into the heart of the Brussels sun and send us their first auto-produced EP ‘Ages and Sun’ – released in January this year – in the flesh. With six tracks they manage to win you over thanks to a dominant guitar that, with the help of arpeggio and crazy riffs, produces an open-hearted and intelligent indie-pop work that decorates every instrumental melody. They won the Verdur Rock 2013 contest and have since made their way to various festival stages such as Les Nuits Botanique, Dour, Les Ardentes, Deep in the Woods and Boomtown.
