Star Industry might be ignored by the Belgian press, but these guys (who are loved outside the Belgian borders borders) may claim that they're one of the godfathers of the Belgian gothscene.
They need no introduction and today they're still alive and kicking which you'll see at their concert during the forthcoming Rewind Fest.
Tickets are still available and this event is a must for anyone who wants to discover new and well known dark sounds.
In our daily series Peek-A-Boo presents Psyche, a band that can be stated as one of the inventors of synthpop.
Click here to read a full interview with the band.
On 12 and 13 April, the REWIND FEST lineup will include Lebanon Hanover. This duo formed in 2010 includes Laurissa Iceglass, originally from Switzerland, on vocals, guitars and synths and William Maybelline, from England, on vocals, bass and synths. They take their girl/boy vocals, razor sharp guitars and brooding bass-lines to create some sort of synthetic apocalyptic pop, reminiscent of Siouxsie, Cure, Bauhaus or Xmal Deutschland.
Last year, they played an intimate concert at Mr Wong in Brussels (a concert organized by Romance Moderne) and earlier this year, they gave a remarkable performance at the Grauzone Festival in Amsterdam. Check the Peek-a-boo review here.
After two widely acclaimed albums, "The World Is Getting Colder" and "Why Not Just Be Solo", both released in 2012 on Fabrika Records and gone sold-out pretty quickly, they are clearly one of the major acts on the cold wave / minimal wave scene right now. Don't miss them!

The news pages will these days be mostly covered by the Rewind Fest and that is of course because this two day festival in Gent is the musical event we're most looking forward to.
As promised, every day, we'll put a band in the picture that will be on the festival. Especially read about those you know not so much about, as you might miss something.
Simi Nah perhaps. Those who were at BIMfest know that this is a concert that cannot be missed.

Easter weekend is always a bit black in Belgium.
On Friday 12th and Saturday 13th April you can see the cream of the crop of alternative electronics and dark music in the Vooruit.
Every day Peek-A-Boo will present you a band along with some backgroundinformation.
We kick off with Der Klinke, a Belgian band that doesn't need introduction.
