Belgian pop sensation presents Best Of.

Arid's fourth studio album - entitled ‘Under The Cold Street Lights’ - was released early on in 2010 and a year later there was also a version released with a live@AB DVD. Now the band has had the brilliant idea of compiling all their singles and simply entitling it ‘Singles Collection’. With a whole heap of hits to their name, it was probably no small task to get them all on one disk. Remember ‘Life’, ‘Believer’, ‘Me And My Melody’, ‘You Are’, ‘Words’, ‘Tied To The Hands That Hold You’, ‘Broken Dancer’, yes even their brilliant tribute to Will Tura: their version of ‘Hart Van Goud’. What's more, there's a new single on the way: ‘The High Life’. This Best Of will, of course, be supported by an extensive tour that is to conclude in the AB on Friday 23 December.

Arid were rightfully offered a record deal after their Rock Rally final in 1996 (the grand crû year with Novastar, Tom Helsen and An Pierlé). Their debut ‘Little Things Of Venom’ was released in 2000 with the collaboration of Piet Goddaer (Ozark Henry) and David Dewaele (Soulwax). The singles ‘Life’ and ‘Believer’ immediately brought the band to the attention of a broader audience. Successor ‘All Is Quiet Now’ - containing the hit singles ‘You Are’ en ‘Everlasting Change’ - was released in 2002 but that very same Jasper Steverlinck also went solo and scored a monster hit with his version of ‘Life On Mars’, with thanks to David Bowie for the original song and the Kolacny brothers for the packaging. His solo debut ‘Songs Of Innocence’ was also a huge success. In 2008, Arid again confirmed its status with the album ‘All Things Come In Waves’, on which you will find the singles ‘Why Do You Run’ and ‘Tied To The Hands’. Wallonia also fell for their ultimate pop-rock and so Jasper & Co can now also count on innumerable fans below the language border.
