The monotrol kid started in October 2008. Belgian Singer songwriter, Erik took inspiration from his many travels to Dublin, New York and London and his first single ‘Almost’ was released in February 2009. “Almost” is a gentle song with a nostalgic feel and great acoustic sound, a taste of what was to come. “An earthy, acoustic, pop song on a backdrop created in the style of the better song smiths”. The Good Ship, London. During 2009, Erik worked on the creation of his EP, ‘today was a good day’, a collection of five songs that will carry you away and take you to a place where vocals and acoustic guitars come alive and eclectic, poetic lyrics echo the emotions of the monotrol kid. Joined by vocalist Anne on “her song”, the monotrol kid has mastered the art of two voices and some great sounds that take you on a journey that just makes you feel good. The monotrol kid has performed in Arinsal, Andorra, The Purty kitchen (Dublin), het Depot (Leuven) and has supported Albert Niland (IRL), Stace Gill (IRL), and Buurman (BEL). The monotrol kid debut EP, ‘today was a good day’ will be presented at “The Good Ship” in London, 289 Kilburn High Road on the 26th of September.
