With classics such as ‘Ploegsteert’, ‘Naar De Wuppe’ and ‘Tid Van Ton’, and richly celebrated albums such as ‘Nie Voe Kinders’ and ‘Calais’, the band has built up a strong reputation for being lyrically strong and poetic, but just as tight and inventive instrumentally. At the beginning of 2024, the now renowned album ‘The Longest Year’ was released, which was created during the heaviest period in the band’s history.
In mid-2022, the news of the incurable illness of guitarist and keyboardist Tom Pintens hit like a bomb, and it inspired the band to make an album in the intimacy of their own circle. With producer in the role, Pintens led the band into the studio in the summer of 2023 to give it their all one last time. He died a month after the recordings.
This year, a show and interview combined with various film fragments will take place in a 013. The interview with Wannes Cappelle is done by Jan Douwe Kroeske (2 Meter Sessies).
