One of the Belgian albums that we will certainly remember from 2018 is 'Restless' by A Slice Of Life. An album containing ten great post-punk songs with a little wink to the great acts like The Cure, Joy Division or The Sisters Of Mercy. To put this fine record in the spotlight again, the band has released a second video taken from their latest album, 'Life As It Is', the song that perhaps sounds most close to The Cure (Not so surprisingly when you know singer Dirk Vreys is also the head and voice of The Cure-tribute band The obsCURE). The clip is based on an animation by Erick Oh, called 'Heart', which several artists have already made music to.
'Restless' is one of many records released by Wool-E Discs, and as it happens Wool-E will be celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2019. This could not pass without some parties and that’s why A Slice Of Life is invited. The first celebration event is called 'Porta Wool-E' and will take place on 9th March in De Klinker, Aarschot (a collaboration with Porta Nigra that has organised festivals there before and not entirely coincidentally on the same date as the annual New Wave Class-X that takes place around the corner). On the bill are: Der Klinke, A Slice Of Life, Dead High Wire and Hatchling.
Part two of the ten years of Wool-E celebration will continue in De Kreun, Kortrijk on 12th April. There you will get the presentation of the new Neon Electronics release as well as the farewell performance of Simi Nah.
