Warning: Smoking Ban inspection during Sexion d'Assaut on Friday 21 December 2012
Since 1 January 2006 it has no longer been permitted to smoke in public places, so not in AB either. After consultation between AB and the Federal Department of Public Health, Food-Chain Safety and the Environment, there will be a number of inspections carried out in the AB over the coming months by the Public Health department.

Register here for the 33 1/3 Classic Album Listening Session T.C. Matic - 'Choco' at Huis 23.

Arno has finished a new CD. It bears the title ‘Future Vintage’ . You'll like it.

Arno will heading out on tour again too. Starting in the AB.

That always deserves an engaging text. Arno even gets to read them in advance and then asks 'who on earth writes all those things?' and also, especially: 'komdeistekilusternnomeploate.'

That's right: 'come over to my place first to hear the CD.' Something like that. Before you write any further. So we can now enthusiastically report:'you will enjoy Future Vintage!'

Produced by John Parish and sounding rather lavish: opulent, kaleidoscopic, constantly inventive and often surrealistic too, a heap of tight adventurous rock and then suddenly an honest ballad or a burlesque passage.

Future Vintage is Arno Grand Cru. It contains new classics. And sing-along songs. All sorts of things are constantly happening in every song: musically and lyrically, so detailed and inspired! And original! Certainly no pale local version of a successful format. Au contraire: Arno is his own norm. And on ‘Future Vintage’ extremely in form.

Bravo & Well Done, Arno. Hear, hear, to the potent poetic hero we already came to appreciate with Tjens Couter and the massive T.C.Matic. Later establishing an impressive career as simply Arn0. On stage too, also in the AB. A shot of adrenaline live.

Arno has also become an excellent talent scout along the way too. Just think: the likes of, Jean Marie Aerts, Geoffrey Burton and of course his trusty Serge Feys on 'keys'.

Are you also curious who Arno and Serge will bring with them this time? We're certainly expecting his band to consist of: Mirko Banovic on bass, Filip Wauters on guitar and Mattijs Vanderleen on drums.

Any more surprises? The CD will be out at the end of September via Naïve and Pias. A first video clip will be out when it's ready. The photo is vintage Danny Willems on camera.
