SEXTILE – Celestial Bodies From Los Angeles Hit Belgium With A Non-Stop Electro Trash Punk Smack…

SEXTILE – Wilde Westen, Kortrijk (Belgium) – 2 February 2018

Wow! Wow! Wow! All the way from sunlit Los Angeles electro trash dance punks SEXTILE invaded Belgium, as part of their very first European tour, yesterday and gave us a steamy sauna experience that made us all forget the freezing cold outside, instantly. I discovered this ace squad (= meaning: aspect or position of 60° between two planets or other celestial bodies) only a few weeks ago and what a spectacular find it is. They sound like 80s electro punks D.A.F. (Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft) having the time of their life jamming with legends Suicide while aiming at breaking the decibels rules. Something like this blistering bolide…

Also this 4-headed whirlwind looks utterly cool with frontman Brady Keehn as a mixed reincarnation of James Dean and Richard Hell, with the tremendously hammering drummer Melissa Scaduto reminding me instantly of the fabulous Mo Tucker (the hitting heartbeat of the timeless 70s icons Velvet Undeground) and synths/guitars tandem Eddie Wuebben and Cameron Michel going for the British Romantics look. As well on record as on stage they create a rip-roaring pandemonium and develop an intoxicating potency you simply can’t resist. This is, without a shout of a doubt a must watch/hear/follow gang. They’ll be your new favorite band the very minute you’ll experience their mammoth stroke potential. No time to waste, fellow music junkies, here’s their newest, supersonic jumbo jet LP ALBEIT LIVING

STEVE ALBINI & SHELLAC Turned The Decibels Way Up In Belgium…

SHELLAC – Wilde Westen, Kortrijk, Belgium – 30 Mei 2017

SHELLAC formed in 1992 by Chicago noise rock legend Steve Albini (Big Black / Rapeman
and – still – producer of countless records) on crushing guitar, big mouth Bob Weston on metallic bass and awesome octopus drummer Todd Trainer landed in Belgium yesterday for an exclusive show. The band’s last album Dude Incredible already dates from 2014. A new record is planned but it’s a long work in progress – only two new songs canned so far – as Weston answered the question of a curious spectator. So what? You don’t see such legends every day, so their (sort of) greatest hits did the trick to inflame all devoted fans
in the place. After a slow start with some mechanical problems, phenomenal madman drummer Trainer found his deafening force and hammering rhythm. Albini immediately followed by torturing his guitar with his hands and teeth. HELL YEAH! Everybody awake! Sweaty bodies moving in all directions! Heads flying around! Wham Bloody Bam! Burning hardcore havoc was what the audience expected, wanted and screamed for after Albini started talking too much between songs! He got the message and returned to do what
he does best: making mind-boggling N.O.I.S.E! A bit like on this 2016 live footage…
