Doreen Shaffer & The Moon Invaders

The Moon Invaders were formed in early 2001 in Belgium by vocalist Matthew Hardison and drummer Nicolas Leonard. Over the years, the band has had several band member changes, but the Moon Invaders of today is composed of nine members: vocalists Matthew Hardison & Thomas Hardison, tenor saxophonist David Loos, trombonist Manghi Murinni, trumpeter Rolf Langsjoen, keyboardist Sergio Raimundo, guitarist Michael Bridoux, bassist Arnaud Pemmers, and drummer Nicolas Leonard.

They recorded in several studios and put out their first EP "First Wave" in 2002.

After many enthusiastic reactions and constant touring the Moon Invaders planned their first longplayer. The self-titled studio album was produced in Brussels by the well-known Victor Rice and Grover Records released this astonishing debut in 2004. "Breakin' Free" the second release on Grover Records followed in 2005: again supported by Vic Rice, but this time mixed in the basement of the well-known Jammyland Record shop in NYC.

Since the release of their first album, the Moon Invaders have toured all over Europe through Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovenia, France and Luxembourg; and became one of the best ska acts of the Belgian scene. In May 2007, the moon invaders have had the pleasure of being the backing band of the legenderay Mr. Rocksteady Alton Ellis for a special show in Brussels.

Doreen Shaffer is the 'Queen Of Jamaica Ska', an original member of the Skatalites since 1994 who has enchanted the audiences not only with her duets with the late Jackie Opel and her own singles. Her appearances with the veterans of Ska nowadays are still highly acclaimed spots at every Skatalites show.

Les Cameleons
Les caméléons font partie de ces groupes qui, sans tapage médiatique, vendent plus de 80 000 CDs autoproduits. Leur ska rock teinté de sonorités latines est une véritable tornade qui emporte tout sur son chemin. Difficile, en effet, de résister à ces show-men absolus (plus de 800 concerts !!!). Que ce soit en espagnol ou en français, ces petits cousins de la mano negra font souffler un vent de fiesta dans toutes la France de long en large décollant de 0 à 180 dès la première mesure. <br><br> Le rock, le ska, le punk, le hardcore et même le jazz se côtoient dans la musique des Caméléons. Leurs chansons traitent d'ailleurs de sujets très variés. À l'exception du racisme, leur sujet engagé par excellence, les thématiques abordées par Les Caméléons sont la fête, les sorties, les poules, les taureaux et les corridas! Perpétuant leur Fiesta Rock Latino, les huit colorés reptiles lancent leur Joyeux Bordel aux oreilles du monde. <br><br>
