He has contributed to album artwork (Chris Whitley, Iggy Pop, Willem Vermandere, Bram Vermeulen, Laïs and Monza), and is the official photographer for classic ensemble Anima Eterna. Alex has shown his work at Bozar Brussels, FoMu Antwerp and various Belgian concert venues.
In the 2004 book ‘Heroes’ he combined portraits of artists with stories about their musical heroes and inspirations. For the 2010 follow up ‘Face 2 Face’ he collaborated with journalist Bart Steenhaut, his long-time partner in crime at De Morgen.
[CHEZ PIAS] is open weekdays (free entry 9:00 - 17:30) and also offers a well-stocked record shop, concert venue and the Humphrey restaurant.
The opening of Alex Vanhee’s photo exhibition will be on June 16th at 19:00.
David Bowie fans can be expected to hear unreleased music from the late rock star in "the next few years," according to Tony Visconti.
Speaking to the Evening Standard , the music producer revealed: “I think it’s logical that over the next few years, you’re going to hear a lot of stuff that you haven’t heard before."
He added: "I’m in talks with his management and his label — there’s going to be some great Bowie stuff coming out.”
David Bowie passed away on Sunday 10 January 2016, after losing his private battle with cancer.
Just two days before, the British icon released his Blackstar album on his 69th birthday, which Visconti described as a "parting gift to his fans".
Cherry Red releases a hiuge compilation by The Cramps featuring 60 tracks.
• A wildcat howl of 61 tunes as spun by Lux Interior on his radio shows or lurking within his and Poison Ivy’s crazy collection
• From cool instrumentals and rockabilly weirdness through to the wild, the incensed and the insensitive. New trance crazes, devil worship, all the usual stuff with screams and hollering as needed
• For the esoteric-minded and the exotica-consumed, with added jungle noises, death-defying car chases, teen torment and a host of dazed and confused lunatics in tow
• Rampant with scuzzy garage riffs, overflowing with deranged plans for the betterment of the mundane
• Spoken in post War parlez, punctuated with irate ideas and parent-bashing conceptualism
• Remastered from the original sound sources with sleevenotes by MOJO magazine’s Dave Henderson
