Swedish postpunk sensation Agent Side Grinder will release a live album, "Hardware Comes Alive", on 14 December! In the meantime, you can watch them live at the Botanique in Brussels on 8 December!!
After releasing their latest album "Hardware" in early 2012, one of the best albums of 2012, Agent Side Grinder headed out on tour throughout western Europe. This live album was recorded in Lyon on a 1978-vintage cassette recorder, using no post processing except for some very basic mastering. This disc catches ASG at their raw hypnotic best, right at the crossroads between post-punk, bleak industrial electronics and psychedelia. It goes a long way towards explaining why they are such a brilliant live act.
Track list:
1 Look Within
2 Rip Me
3 Telefunk
4 Mag 7
5 Life in Advance
6 Wolf Hour
7 Die to Live
8 Sleeping Fury
9 Voice of your Noise

Never heard from them you say?
Well, maybe you know Matt Howden who is the man from neofolk-band Sieben.
7JK is an enchanting collaboration between the Polish Multimedia industrialist of Job Karma and violin wizard Matt Howden.

Great news for the fans of 80's wavemusic as the legendary Sad Lovers & Giants will play in Belgium.
They are part of the now already 28th edition of Les Nuits Fantastique.
The support will be by Thieves Of Silence and Peek-A-Boo--readers will know by now that they're the best postpunkband you can find these days in Belgium.
Do also not forget Agent Side Grinder.
And remember, buy your tickets at advance! The underground needs your support. We're repeating ourselves (we know) but that's only because it's needed!
