ABConcerts NewsAn overview of upcoming concerts at the AB BrusselsLES COWBOYS FRINGANTS, Zaal, 2009-01-26 20:00- June 30, 2008http://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102100 MELEE, ABBox, 2008-09-27 20:00- June 30, 2008 'Built To Last', that was Mle's first, still recent, big hit. This American foursome clearly adores graceful, well produced songs. The sort of pop-rock that has been delivered since the seventies by performers like Elton John, Electric Light Orchestra... up to including Keane and Coldplay . Indeed with piano as central instrument, but surrounded by a tightly playing quartet with pointed hooks (and good looks). 'Devils & Angels'http://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102045 CRYSTAL CASTLES, ABClub, 2008-09-21 20:00- June 27, 2008 CRYSTAL CASTLES from Canada: this duo's bouncy electro is mostly made with the same 8-bit electronica that was used in the very first computer games, Atari etc. That gives a narrow but fiery effect, supported by terrorizing beats heading in all directions. Ethan Kath is the musical brain behind this first-generation-ringtone electro band and that has also already provided remixes for Bloc Party and Klaxons. He found the ihttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102089 OPETH, Zaal, 2008-11-26 20:00- June 27, 2008 Scandinavia is known worldwide as the European Metal pioneer. So it's no surprise then that this autumn the AB brings a number of top Metal bands from Sweden to Brussels. Following Meshuggah (159) and In Flames (710), on 26 November it will be OPETH's turn . Arrowhead of the Extreme or Death Metal scene in the early 90's, Opeth's ninth studio album 'Watershed' brings them once again a step closer to the ultimate combination of Death Methttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102099 COUNTING CROWS, Zaal, 2008-07-02 20:00- June 27, 2008 counting crowshttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=101966 BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, Zaal, 2008-11-19 18:00- June 27, 2008 BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE + special guests LACUNA COIL + BLEEDING THROUGH + BLACK TIDE The four-member metal formation BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE is from Wales, just like Funeral For A Friend and Lostprophets. 'Scream Aim Fire' is the title of the second studio album from the band that gets branded as the ultimate crossing of Metallica and Iron Maiden. Just like their debut 'The Poison', 'Scream Aim Fire' is anhttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102097 BLACK KIDS, ABClub, 2008-11-11 20:00- June 25, 2008 BLACK KIDS (no, not THE Black Kids) are 5 - euh - kids from Jacksonville, Florida who are currently storming the charts and driving dancefloors crazy with the super-single 'I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You'. Indie-pop with sing-song voices and lovely lyrics that go straight to your dancing feet. You'll find the same ingredients too in their recently released second single 'Hurricane Jane'. The debuthttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102098 SAYBIA, ABBox, 2008-10-28 20:00- June 24, 2008 That's right, SAYBIA! They were in the ABClub in November '02, just following their first CD, and even then there was already more than enough praise! 'What's possible in Belgium, is also possible in Denmark: put together great, catchy guitar songs and present them extremely convincingly live too. It sounds so simple when yet another catch song nestles in your head. With Saybia that is then the singles 'The Day After Tomorrow' or 'Thehttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102096 MESHUGGAH, ABBox, 2008-09-15 20:00- June 23, 2008 This Swedish metal band with a sense of experiment is working on a well-earned takeover. Their latest album 'obZen' has contributed to that goal too, of course: 9 knock-out songs that just recently carried them through Europe at the side of Dillinger Escape Plan - that other trendsetter of the genre. This fivesome has been around since 1987 and operates more and more on the cutting edge between Tool, Ministry and Slayer. They're knowhttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102091 |
