AB has had its eye on the American Theatre for a while now. The American pavillion – built as a part of the Expo ’58 – is still located in the shadow of the iconic Atomium and positively radiates history. AB has its spirit gad about in the American Theatre for a weekend by means of an exciting and sassy programme. In doing so, AB maintains the true purpose for which the American Theatre was created: accommodating concerts.

AB will have its spirit gad about in the American Theatre for a weekend by means of an exciting and sassy programme. In doing so, AB maintains the true purpose for which the American Theatre was created: accommodating concerts. They weren't small ones in '58 either: Jazz greats like Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Sarah Vaughan were only a few of the stars who shone there.

BRNS

Quartet from Brussels that has won many hearts in relatively little time. BRNS (pronounced: Brains) is indie as fuck and has already impressed as support to Suuns, Django Django and Cloud Nothings. Their musical recipe? A mercilessly tight rhythm section, pumping basslines, criss-cross layers of organ and guitar that are bound by kooky choir vocals. This will most likely be one of the last BRNS shows of ’13. After this the band will be diving into the studio to record their debut.

MEAN

Mean is the new band of Younes Faltakh (The Hickey Underworld) and Niels Borrey (cfr: Max Rouen). Just call it a grungy version of Ween in combination with the burly rock of homebase The Hickey Underworld. Their debut EP was released via Skeleton Ears, label of the now famous cameraman Nikolas Karakatsanis. Their song titles sound like ‘Ode to the One Euro Lasagna’ and ‘A Night to Dismember’. They invariably perform in Arabian robes.

LE COLISEE

Le Colisée is the solo-project of young David Nzeyimana from Brussels. His music is honest cut & paste work. Vocals, electronica, guitar and loops form a fragile whole. Budding talent immediately made public.
