EX-RZ with Fenne Kuppens

The Rock Rally winners of this year, Whispering Sons have something to do with the 80's and that’s what Peter Slabbynck (formerly Red Zebra, now EX-RZ) also heard.

For years, it was his dream to cover 17 Seconds by The Cure. Every time when Robert Smith sings “and the girl starts to sing ', Slabbynck really imagined a girl started to sing then.

It was a long wait to find the right singer, but this year the waiting was rewarded when Slabbynck heard Whispering Sons.

Slabbynck contacted singer Fenne Kuppens who fancied the idea. The result is a cover with a surprising additional vote.

Incidentally Slabbynck was in 1980 with Red Zebra in the finals of Humo's Rock Rally. Two Rock Rally-finalists with a difference of 36 years of working together. Besides, in 1980, Red Zebra played in Ghent the support of... (yes) The Cure.

17 Seconds (including video) appears on October 21 on all digital platforms through Starman Records.

Al jaren droomde zanger Peter Slabbynck (vroeger Red Zebra, nu EX-RZ) ervan om ’17 Seconds’ van The Cure te coveren. Vooral die ene zin ‘and the girl starts to sing’, intrigeerde hem. Wat als er op dat moment echt een meisje zou beginnen zingen. Het was lang wachten op de juiste zangeres maar dit jaar werd dat wachten beloond toen Slabbynck voor het eerst Whispering Sons, winnaar van de Humo’s Rock Rally 2016, hoorde. Slabbynck zocht contact met zangeres Fenne Kuppens en die zag het idee wel zitten. Het resultaat is een cover met een verrassende extra stem. Overigens zat Slabbynck in 1980 met zijn Red Zebra zelf in de finale van Humo’s Rock Rally. Twee Rock Rally-finalisten met een verschil van 36 jaar die samen werken? Het is ongehoord! Maar met deze single wordt nog een andere kloof overbrugd. In 1980 speelde Red Zebra in Gent het voorprogramma van… The Cure. Diezelfde The Cure staan overigens dan weer op 12 November in een uitverkocht Antwerps Sportpaleis.

“17 Seconds” (inclusief video) verschijnt op 21 Oktober op alle digitale platformen !
