Weekly vibrations to soundtrack your favorite 48 hours…

24 March 2018

They rattle, they rumble, they roar and they roll. They are TUBELIGHT. A cracking 5-piece out of Belgium that released its second album EXPERT BY VIRTUE, THEREOF just a few weeks ago. A blazing record Turn Up The Volume had on his earphones every single day since it hit the streets (review:  here). Imagine the early Velvet Underground with Mark E Smith – who’s singing instead of barking – producing some hellish hullabaloo jams. Fierce, sharp, nasty and hair-raising with frontman Long Tall Lee spitting and sneering like the demonic best. Pretty awesome! Best gang of the moment, on record and on stage. Why
I hear you ask? Here’s why…

ON RECORD

.
ON STAGE
Yesterday the trashy engine played my hometown Ghent again and turned their stupendous longplayer into a smashing powerhouse on stage at the Charlatan
venue with an overall riotous knockout sound that makes your head spin 360°.
Boiling guitars, kicking rhythm section, Ray Manzarek‘s ghost on keys and Lee
Swinnen‘s screaming and shouting on top of it. No nonsense, no special effects,
no arty farty shit. Just: MIND-BOGGLING GARAGE NOISE HAVOC TO GO NUTS TO!…

LSD boy….

Snake Oil Salesmen…

Full house…

Nervous Lee…

Flaming riffage…

“Who are the fucking Glücks?”
