Belgium; one Point

Since the eighties, Belgium has played an important role in the development of techno, electronic body music, new wave and New Beat. Soulwax, 2 many DJs and dEUS are a couple of acts that still top the alternative music scene.
Here’s a couple of other Belgian bands I really like. The first one is Ghinzu, I can’t believe this band is only really big in France and the French part of Belgium. They’re on of the best bands I’ve seen the last couple of years. Here’s a song called “’til you faint” you can also find the video here. If you like it, buy the album it’s great. The second band is Rumplestitchkin according to their website they’re 40% British, 40% American and 20% Other. They also come from Brussels and mix synths with guitars. Dance poppers Soldout, were one of the highlights of the Dour Festival last year. They have some great songs and have an unusual way to show one of their songs “I don’t want to have sex with you.” on their website. here. Fifty Foot Combo is one of Belgium's hottest live-acts, they play a mix of Garage, surf fuzz, exotica, horror and thunder that make it an experience you'll never forget. Last one is Vive la fete electro pop band of one of dEUS ex members Danny Mommens and the lovely Els Pynoo.
