2011 could well be a crucial year for our favourite rock ’n roll duo from Brussels: Black Box Revelation. Their brand new single ‘Rattle My Heart’ will be released this week, in other words: the forerunner of BBR’s third album ‘My Perception’ that is to be released in October. Aside from that, the band will also be traveling to the other side of the Atlantic to give a series of concerts and get their ambitious plans for America rolling. No surprises there though, as ‘My Perception’ was recorded in Hollywood by songwriter, guitar virtuoso and producer Alain Johannes, known from the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, Mark Lanegan, Soundgarden, … No coincidence either that these are the favourites of singer/guitarist Jan Paternoster and drummer Dries Van Dijck. So the theme for this summer is LOTS of touring in the US. Totally warmed up, the band will also play in the AB at the end of the year, on Thursday 3 November actually. Be there on time as their previous AB visit was not only a musical bomb but also a rush on ticket sales.

Support acts for the sold out Black Box Revelation concerts in November are now known. There are no longer tickets available for these concerts but there are for the extra concert planned on Tuesday 10 April 2012.
Little Barrie is a power-trio hailing from the other side of the Channel. Their latest album ‘King Of Waves’ was also produced by Edwyn Collins and sounds nice and dirty again: garage-rock with strong R&B influences.
