   About THE BELBOUCHOS
It's swamp blues, it's hot soul, it's old school swing! Not the "woke up this morning and went back to bed"-feeling, but a "Woke up this afternoon and ready to rumble" state of mind. The main goal of The Belbouchos is not to re-invent the blues, but to make it sound wild & furious again.

It all started many years ago with five excited teenagers playing ballroom bullshit & cheap sing-along songs. Some band members left, some came. Other rock, jazz and blues bands were tried, but in the end everybody realised that the grass was not greener on the other side... It was time to set the record straight, so they got back together to do what they do best. Kick ass!

Listen to the "Moorsel City Demo" and you'll know that they mean business today. This is not another "get together" to celebrate old times; it's a new and fresh gang of five that will open your eyes & ears. Do you want screamin' guitars, howlin' harps, muddy basses, pounding drums and ferocious vocals? Be sure to check out one of their upcoming gigs near you! Get your kicks at route 69!

Review in RifRaf Magazine
We zijn nog niet goed bekomen van het debuut van The Slipmates en daar is al een andere rockin' rootband die onze bewondering afdwingt. The Belbouchos (www.myspace.com/thebelbouchos) serveren een dampende set eigen nummers gekoppeld aan opvallende covers (Caravan, Lonesome me). Het beste van Ian Siegal en Brian Setzer met de juiste twang en rumble vibes. Dé opvolgers van El Fish.

Review Poppunt Magazine
Antwerp-Brabantse blues 'n' roots die aangeeft dat de geest van het haast legendarische Mambo Chillum zaliger nieuwe bodies heeft gesnatcht. Een zompige, uit klei getrokken mondharmonica, een gitaar die die demonen oproept en temt tegelijkertijd. Kijk eens wat ze doen met Ellington's 'Caravan', een nummer met een heuse over-exposure, qua gecoverd zijn. Bij een verzamelaar kon uw dokter ooit een 35-tal verschillende versies tellen. Edoch, The Belbouchos brengen de voodoo in het nummer. Je ziet voor je neus in een nachtelijk woestijnlandschap een karavaan op zijn trail of death voorbijtrekken, verlicht door een lijkbleke volle maan, met een boosaardig grijnzende Dr. John die de teugels ment. Ook de 3 eigen nummers tappen uit hetzelfde, met levensgevoel en bourbon doordrenkte, tonneke blues. Je moest al op weg zijn naar hun volgend optreden, begot!

DUO-SONIC





Mar 4 2009 9:54 AM

It's mastered, the art works done and the future is SONIC!!!! The first release from Duo-Sonic is available NOW! a 4 track self titled all original 7 inch red vinyl sonic sound coming to a record player near you!!! By it online at deadbymono. com or see www. duo. sonic. co. uk for more information on how to get your hands on this hot wax!

OUT NOW!!! Contact us to buy one!!!

A blonde bombshell bad-girl beats seven shades of hell out of rawhide and hickory, while her quick-draw, cocksure cowboy friend unloads his smouldering six strings straight into your gut. Four fine and feisty, untamed tracks of dusty barroom brawl and bluster, best served up neat with moonshine and good times. Fat riffs, black quiffs, southern fried style with a snarl and a smile; mariachi blues wearing dead man’s shoes, with a head full of cheap liquor and a hard rock heart.
