The band was formed around four musicians with a same view about music, but different
experiences.
At the beginning Fabienne Vdp (Vocals) - Eric Lemaître (Guitar) - Guy Segers (Bass) - Danny
Van Hoeck (Drums) started an unusual repertoire, unclassifiable, based on all what these
musicians know about music without any style restriction. It goes from soft ballads to full volume
free played fast.
Also a mix between very structured compositions, improvisation, and covers revisited.
The band was on about to have Andy KIRK as a new member, but just before he joined the band
ERIC LEMAÎTRE founder of Magasin 4 unfortunately died in January 2012,
Now the music has been rebuild around the spirit of Eric thanks to Andy with who we found the
way to keep the flame burning !
