ABConcerts NewsAn overview of upcoming concerts at the AB BrusselsSTEF BOS, ABTheater, 2009-01-28 20:00- April 14, 2008 'Magical cure for stress', headlined De Standaard just recently, followed by: 'a modern troubadour: he combines poetic songs with a warm narrative voice ... an unmistakable talent for capturing an image or idea in just one sentence... the entire performance radiated melancholy, but also hope and a naive optimism that you can only envy. Those who have seen a Stef Bos performance suddenly enjoy every day as it comes again'. Just what we're going to need, in the mihttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102026 BALANESCU QUARTET, ABTheater, 2009-03-01 20:00- April 14, 2008 The BALANESCU QUARTET is world famous for a reason. Leader Alexander Balanescu has since 1987 been exploring all possible classic, contemporary, avant garde and popular musical territories with his (string) quartet. Hats off to the man who was conductor for Michael Nyman for 15 years, member of the Gavin Bryars Ensemble and the Arditti Quartet, but especially gained fame under his own name with his idiosyncratie and refined collaborations.

Spinvis is of course the name under which Dutch sound wizard Erik de Jong performs. You know him from super delicious songs like 'Bagagedrager', 'Smalfilm', 'Voor Ik Vergeet', 'Astronaut', 'Het Voordeel Van Video', 'Wespen Op De Appeltaart' .... Or from his collaboration with Las, his soundtrack for Man Zkt Vrouw... and wasn't his latest 'Goochelaars En Geesten' one of the CD's of 2007!http://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102028 GHINZU, Zaal, 2008-11-28 20:00- April 10, 2008 The Ghinzu concert planned for Friday 22 February has been moved to Friday 28 November 2008! After a few months of hard work this group is now coming close to completing its third album. To make up for the slight delay in the initial schedule the members of Ghinzu see no other option but to concentrate on a few weeks of intensive work in the studio. This means that they are no longer able to perform at the AB on 22 February - painful, but the only right decision fohttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=101725 KAMAGURKA , ABClub, 2008-11-04 20:00- April 10, 2008 Op En Top (Through and Through) premire! Completely KAMAGURKA! Especially solo! Toe-curling and evening-filling! After 30 years bravely treading the planks Kamagurka certainly knows how to play an audience. Even worse: he continues to take risks and his escapades are always exciting, hilarious, even endearing . 'Op En Top', that's the name of the new show. 'Op En Top', and it'll be over the top again, or maybe under the belt, of course!

That must have been what singer Jaz Coleman of KILLING JOKE was thinking when, after almost 20 years, he spoke to drummer Paul Ferguson again at the funeral of bass player Paul Raven (who also took honours for Ministry and Prong). This meeting created a spark and it was decided to can a new album with the original line-up and plan a unique world tour for September. Bass player Martin 'Youth' Glover also returns tohttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=101992 LALALOVER, ABClub, 2008-10-25 20:00- April 9, 2008 The concert (April 8th) is postponed till Saturday October 25th. That's top local talent TOM KESTENS, of course. 'Heliotropic', Lalalover's debut was a sunny revelation, brimming with fresh funk and brilliant pop. The second CD promises to be a little heavier. Once again produced by the indeed crucial Krewcial and those who've already experienced Lalalover live know that they continuously search for just the right groove. Even so, just a little Lalalovhttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=101913 |
