Mike Herbage, one of the founders of Department S, kindly accepted to give his video greetings to the readers of Peek-a-boo after the show at REWIND FEST: watch the video below!
Mike explained how the band decided to cover Alvin Stardust's hit "My Coo-Ca-Choo" as an hommage to their original singer, Vaughan Toulouse, who was a huge fan of Alvin Stardust and unfortunately died of an AIDS related illness in 1991. Furthermore, the band will start working on a new album by the end of the year.

Crash Course In Science at REWIND FEST: Interview and live video of 'Flying Turns'
Michael Zodorozny, one of the founders of Crash Course In Science, the famous postpunk/prototechno band from Philadelphia, gave a short interview to Peek-a-boo after their show at the REWIND FEST in Ghent on 7th April. He said the festival is by far "the biggest show of their short European tour", which includes four shows.
He also explained how "Flying Turns", this legendary song from the album "Signals From Pier Thirteen", was recorded. As this original version is very hard to reproduce, the band is playing a remix version of it on stage. Michael also said that the band is considering re-recording the song again, with a different arrangement...

The Juggernauts, a brand new Belgian EBM formation led by Borg (also in Klinik and boss of Bodybeats) and Glenn (from Radical G), were giving their first gig ever at the REWIND FEST in Ghent last Saturday. During an interview with Peek-a-boo, Borg announced that the first album of the band will be called "The Juggernauts... Are Coming" and will be released by the end of the year.
The band will also be playing the "Industrial Boom Festival" in Budapest, Hungary at the end of the month, together with Front242, Neon Judgement, Absolute Body Control and 32Crash - a Belgian invasion of Hungary...
Watch the video of the short interview of Borg, followed by a live song: "Damaged Illusions".
This Easter was a very special one with a great Rewindfestival which makes us ache for more!
Soon you'll find a full review and in the meantime you can go to our photosection to see the excellent photos from Xavier Marquis.
Ronny Moorings, founder of Clan Of Xymox, has a 'secret project'! At the REWIND festival in Ghent, he told Peek-a-boo that the band is "working on a new album, which will not be a typical album. It's a surprise so I don't want to say anything more. It will be something that I or Clan Of Xymox have never done before..." We suspect that this strange release will take place on Ronny Moorings's Birthday, 20th of May 2012... Stay tuned!
In the short interview, Ronny also explained that he first decided to cover "Heroes" from David Bowie when he participated to the anniversary show at WGT in Leipzig. He recorded the song to have a backing track for the performance and the result was so good that he decided to release the song and to include it in concert setlists.
Watch the video of the interview made before their show in Ghent, followed by a live video of "A Day".
