On 12 and 13 April, the REWIND FEST lineup will include Lebanon Hanover. This duo formed in 2010 includes Laurissa Iceglass, originally from Switzerland, on vocals, guitars and synths and William Maybelline, from England, on vocals, bass and synths. They take their girl/boy vocals, razor sharp guitars and brooding bass-lines to create some sort of synthetic apocalyptic pop, reminiscent of Siouxsie, Cure, Bauhaus or Xmal Deutschland.
Last year, they played an intimate concert at Mr Wong in Brussels (a concert organized by Romance Moderne) and earlier this year, they gave a remarkable performance at the Grauzone Festival in Amsterdam. Check the Peek-a-boo review here.
After two widely acclaimed albums, "The World Is Getting Colder" and "Why Not Just Be Solo", both released in 2012 on Fabrika Records and gone sold-out pretty quickly, they are clearly one of the major acts on the cold wave / minimal wave scene right now. Don't miss them!
