Started in 1996, the French psychobilly band, Astro Zombies, crawled out of the vineyards of the Burgundy area to conquer the r’n’r scene.

They started out as an opening band but soon developed a name for themselves. Playing gigs with big bands like The Meteors, GuanaBatz, Misfits, only to name a few, and playing big European Festivals, The Astro Zombies grew and the fans followed. They’ve toured through nearly all of Europe, from Spain to Finland, Sweden, USA, Russia, Mexico and Brazil.

Their first album, “The Astro Zombies are Coming” was recorded “In Heaven”, Paul P. Fenech (godfather of Psychobilly) recording studio. The album was originally released in 1997 by Banana Juice label (France) and re-released in 2000 by popular demand, on Crazy Love Records. The album was a good mix of pure rock n’ roll and psychobilly which ultimately opened the doors to the psychobilly world.

From that meeting, between 2000 and 2002, Bobby (guitar/vocals) and Gaybeul (drums) will participate in Paul P. Fenech side project The 10th Key Screamers. They’ll play on two albums "screaming on the 10th key” and "fenechophobia" and will tour twice with him.

In 2000, The Astro Zombies recorded their second album, “Control your Minds” for the German label, Crazy Love Records.

After a couple years of solid touring, The Astro Zombies went back to the studio and recorded their third and heavier album, “Mutilate, Torture, and Kill” at the legendary Kaiser Studio. This album was released in 2003 on the UK label, Raucous Records. In 2004, the line-up changed and the band welcomed the arrival of the new bass player, Fantomas, of the US band The Kings of Nuthin’ and formerly of Frantic Flintstones.

After the 2007 release of the much acclaimed live platter 'Burgundy Livers' out on Raucous Records, the band saw the departure of Gaybeul and the arrival of Markus on drums.

In 2008, the 1st EP & 1st album was re-released with extra tracks on Crazy Love Records and a best of : « Lo mejor de los Astro Zombies - exitos del espacio exterior » was released on the mexican label Bam Bam records. Then the three-headed undead unleash their fourth studio album. 'Convince Or Confuse' delivers all the motley goods these international rockers thrive on, from old-time psychobilly to surfin' sleaze, greasy instrumentals, punked-up gems and a whole lot more sonic glory. Among those standout tracks is 'Hey Gyp', featuring magnificent vocals of Sarah Blackwood from punkabilly prowlers The Creepshow, while a lethal rendition of the classic 'Bang Bang' will send Cher and Nancy Sinatra on a coffin shopping spree. 'Margarita' even puts a psycho spin on Spanish folk styles, enriched by gloomy string arrangements and accelerating fiddles. 'Convince Or Confuse' also marks the last Astro Zombies recordings of standup bass player Thomas Frenchy. His successor is none other than Long Tall Texans and Hotknives main man Mark Carew. More solid proof the Astro Zombies keep going from strength to strength.

Too rough for Rockabilly; too pure for Punk; too cool for Country; too hard for Rock; too Rock for Roll; too hot for your honey; too sexy for your sister & too fast for your grandma...

The Dark Shadows sound has been described as “dark edged punk noir”. Imagine The Clash entwined with Marlene Dietrich, The Banshees sprinkled with a 50's sci-fi soundtrack… The sharp cutting edge of the Danelectro slices up a contrast of dynamic tones to haunting atmospherics whilst the thundering bass and drums set the scene for the Dark Shadows to emerge... Just when you thought it was safe to look what lies behind the curtain, Shadows appear looming over and engulfing you with their presence and sound. The Dark Shadows songs range from being alienated in a world afraid of difference to laments of love that is lost.

Rockin’ & Drinkin’ Guys est une rencontre explosive entre trois jeunes musiciens avides de rock’n’roll et de bonne humeur. Originaires de Tournai, en Belgique, c’est en juin 2007 que se forme le groupe. D’abord lancé par Jérôme (guitare/voix) et Antoine (batterie), le trio ne connaitra son réel départ qu’avec l’arrivé de Guillaume et sa contrebasse, quelques mois plus tard. L’histoire était alors lancée !

Depuis ce jour, les Rockin’ & Drinkin’ Guys répandent leur nostalgie pour la musique rockabilly et rock’n’roll des années 50, qu’ils reprennent avec un style et un enjouement unique, s’inspirant autant de vieux blues que de country.

Très vite remarqués pour non seulement leur style particulier, mais aussi et surtout pour leur jeu de scène énergique et entrainant, les trois amis ne mirent pas très longtemps à fouler des scènes de plus en plus importantes, enchainant les concerts, tous plus fous les uns que les autres, le succès étant a chaque fois au rendez-vous. Guitariste survolté, batteur volant, et contrebassiste fou furieux, ils ne sont jamais passés inaperçus.

Trois fous de rock’n’roll qui n’attendent que vous pour s’amuser ! Alors si vous voulez passer un bon moment et vivre, ou revivre, le rock'n'roll des années 50, venez les appréciez, vous ne serez pas déçus ! Let’s rock’n’roll !

The Last Row has already played a bunch of shows in Belgium, Luxembourg, France and in the Netherlands. It is an demented band from Belgium whose goal is to make you move and forget the worries of everyday life. Their style can be compare to a mix of Rockabilly and Rock 'n Roll. They made themselves noticed in some great place like the American Style Music festival (Cerexhe), the Spirit of 66 (Verviers), other custom culture places like concentrations of American cars and motorcycles (Independance Day, ...) and other great festivals (Acosse, ...), always causing a great atmosphere, and letting people dance from the bar to the stage. Crazy Gretsch sound out of the drums, double basse slap in the air and guitar riffs completely insane. That's how the energy is created when they play !
