De Brassers
Post-punk / Cold Wave
De Brassers
De Brassers, from Hamont in Belgium, were embraced by many as icons of the punk movement in Belgium around 1980. Their music was a local mixture of the Sex Pistols (in the lowest gear), Joy Division and Cabaret Voltaire (because of the typical Korg MS20 sound).    The doomed sound they produced tells a lot about the dark atmosphere of the late seventies and early eighties: the fear of atomic bombs, cold war pessimism, police violence against squatters, and the grim years of Reagan & Thatcher.    The main artefact of the band is the single “En toen was er niets meer” (And then there was nothing more). The song in Dutch even made it to the renowned New Musical Express who described de brassers as “mean and moody modern chaps”. Other songtitles speak for themselves: Kontrole, Twijfels (Doubts), Living on the Edge, Sick in your Mind, Rise and Fall …   It all ended in 1982 because of drug issues and problems with the police and justice.   After sporadic reunion gigs throughout the years, de Brassers are a working unit again as of 1998. They played amongst other things at Pukkelpop festival and supported contemporaries as The Stranglers, Wire and Public Image Limited. 
Filiamotsa & G.W. Sok

FiliaMotsa is a French eccentric drums and electric violin duo born in spring 2007 in Nancy, Lorraine, France. On a ring of a few square meters, two musicians wrestle in a soft and brutal gushes, where the combat unit binds in implacable music pieces. The energy of this rock duo draws its sources from uncontrolled noise improvisation, psychedelic sixties and seventies, and binary of primal and revanchist grunge.

G.W. Sok, vocalist/lyricist of The Ex from 1979 to 2009, now works with Cannibales & Vahinés (F), Beukorkest (NL) and Filiamotsa (F). Sometimes he's as a guest of duo Two Pin Din (NL/B/CAN/UK) and Gran Kino (F). Next to that since 2012 half of the duo The And (NL/F) and part of Testa Di Cavallo (SWI). At times he also performs solo.
ERASERHEAD (BE) Psychedelic / Garage
EraserHead
EraserHead is a psychedelic- garageband from Kortrijk, Belgium, who play songs with some raw, noisy brushstrokes and psychedelic freak-outs. Their sound is often described as a cross-pollination of "krautrock", "noise-rock" and straightforward "garage". It is as much a band that writes songs as it also contains making films, soundtracks & Art perfomances. The band insists of taking all the artwork upon itself to let all these different worlds blend in with each other.
