VIVE LA FETE

Thursday 17 October 2013 2013

Support: Laura PalmerFor many years now, Vive La Fête has ensured an exciting musical party on stage. Since 1997, the Belgian band of Danny Mommens (ex-bass player of dEUS) and Els Pynoo has been bringing danceable electro-rock, with a touch of kitsch and some new wave and French chanson lurking in the background.

In 2002, the king of fashion Karl Lagerfeld meets the couple and is charmed by their music and their looks. This gives green light to the international adventure of Vive La Fête: fashion shows all over the world.

After ‘Produit de Belgique’ came out Vive La Fete decided to go back to the studio to produce a new album. They had plenty of inspiration left and wanted to put it to good use. Shortly after this ‘2013’ was born, an album that brought them back to basics and on which they stayed true to their own taste and feeling.

In (the year) 2013 Danny (guitar) and Els (vocals) are still travelling around the world in the company of Roel Van Espen (keyboards), Ben Brunin (bass) and Gino Geudens (drums). The solid live-fame of the band is taking the five-headed cast to festivals and catwalks at home and abroad: from Sweden to Tenerife, from Russia to Colombia and from Bucharest to …The Hague!

Supporting Vive La Fete this night will be Laura Palmer. Don’t be fooled by their name: these three men will make sure the party commences at an early point in the evening, with their dreamy shoegaze combined with new wave.
