People who know their stuff will certainly be aware that it ranges from hard EBM to the finest electronic pop music.
We have some very exclusive news for you.
Last week we already could announce that Flesh & Fell would be one of the bands that will be part of the 3rd edition of the RE:WIND-mini-FEST at Vooruit in Ghent on 7th October.
The second band is Blancmange.
This classic wavepopband that scored massive hits in the 80’s with songs as “Don’t tell me”, “Living on the ceiling” and “The day before you came” are back. Everyone who saw their gig last month in the UK told us they were fascinating!
A third act will be confirmed soon.
