1978, Frank Dubbe writes the first Belgian punk rock hit single for his band StageBeast.
Belgium (Ain't Fun No More) is released on EMI and becomes an instant classic, later to be found on the KBD compilations.
After getting kicked out of EMI, StageBeast becomes Revenge 88 and releases the famous Neon Light single (another KBD classic).
The rest is history.
REVENGE 88 is working on a new album, and on the release of a lost album which will feature the old singles + demos + live from back in the days.
REVENGE 88 recently opened for the New York Dolls. The band was also seen on TV and invited on radio shows.

Don't work with Cristal Clark or the company she runs: Twofister promotions, this chick screws bands over. Check out our new blog, talking about this stupidity. I want to give you all a shout out because you are my music scene friends. Keep it real out there. FROG...
Om het Positief Uitgaansbeleid van het Oostendse stadsbestuur te promoten werd in mei een website (www. PROOSTende. be) gelanceerd waar jongeren correcte alcoholinformatie konden opvissen. Er was bovendien een heuse remixwedstrijd waarbij jong talent werd uitgenodigd een nummer van de Oostendse rockheld Arno door de remixmolen te draaien.
Diskonnekted vs. Arno = een clash van Oostendse artiesten! Ze vochten het al uit aan de toog in Oostende (waarbij Diskonnekted met twee Duvels voorsprong won op Arno), maar vorige week werd ook de winnaar van de contest bekend gemaakt: Diskonnekted won de Arno remixwedstrijd en mag zichzelf levenslang de absolute remixkoning van het nummer “Hit The Night” noemen.
Arno, wereldberoemd zowel in Oostende als in het buitenland, kreeg van Diskonnekted (vooral wereldberoemd in de alternatieve industrial/electro scene) een serieuze facelift waardoor de bluesy rock van de oude meester plots niet zou misstaan in de clubs.
London Cowboys - "Relapse" - Sept 3rd, Jungle Records
Junk in the Trunk... Steve Dior literally went through his old trunk and discovered some gems, on cassette, vinyl and 1/2" masters, along with a bevy of photos from our touring days. A quick call to Alan Hauser at Jungle Records and a mere 10 months later we have the definitive London Cowboys CD... and it's a double. The first disc is the "best of" from our earlier releases, which includes and opens with "Dance Crazy" a track that was only ever on vinyl; and ends with The Idols single, which likewise has not been heard since the invention of the wheel... 15 tracks in all. The second disc is a real gem, a complete CD of unreleased material, it opens with the studio version of "Hollywood" and includes Jerry Nolan's "Countdown Love" and two of our first demos for Track Records. So we have a really comprehensive Cowboys CD, very representative of the band in it's many forms... that includes all of our more well known collaborators... Jerry Nolan, Killer Kane, Glen Matlock, Gerry Laffy, Johhny Thunders, Terry Chimes, Mike Monroe, Tony James, Sylvain, etc... some great rocking tracks, and if you were ever a fan of the band or the music, it's a must-have.... take it from me..... I was there..... I think.... Barry Jones
