ZIELERUST - JESUS

 ZIELERUST - JESUS

Flip Van Canegem and Tom Leën played in Dead Souls, Lighthousekeeper, Amber, Zen for Birds, and Thun. As a duo, they continued with beats, analog synths, and dirty guitars. In early 2023, Kathleen Decuyper joined as a drummer. Now, they form a trio driven by noisy pop and shoegaze. Imagine Yo La Tengo hanging out with The Velvet Underground, with a touch of Sonic Youth. Feel music, straight from life.

Tom, Flip, and Kathleen, through their work in the social, mental, and health sectors, increasingly encounter the complex and polarized times in which we live. The collective exploration of dealing with fears, love, anger, and hope translates into a raw sound with warm melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and chaotic noise.

TOGETHER, they build with fans, other musicians, and diverse bands to create a growing community of people, crossing all borders and labels.

Love is everything!

I picked the song Jesus because it's the one that pops up mostly on my Spotify playlist but it could have been any of their songs, they are all great !!  Note to self (and to everyone) : go see them live, I'm pretty sure it will be a mindblowing experience.



Lyrics :

I was thereYou were notThey were flying high aboveYou were there in this dreamFaking hangoversDisapearing from meSee inside the dollhousePuppets on a stringWaiting for for a miracleTo happen againDissolving in a frozen dreamJesus he went fishing for meDo you do you still believeA new morningWill set you freeDissolving in a frozen dreamJesus he went fishing for meDo you do you still believeA bomb attackWill set you free

OFF THE GRID FESTIVAL

OFF THE GRID FESTIVAL Normally I write about a song that caught my attention or that has a special meaning to me but this article is a tribute to this small festival that I had the honor in attending in Croatia's capital Zagreb at the Vintage Industrial Bar This story actually starts in June 2022. While I was watching the amazing band L.H.D.  at the Trash'n'Burn festival in Croatia, I met some great people who were also in a band called Melewai . We started talking, drank some beers and after the festival we stayed in touch. From time to time they released a new song on Bandcamp and I just loved their songs. I promised them that whenever they would play their first live gig I would do my best to be there. And then the news came that Melewai was going to play at the Off The Grid festival, organised by L.H.D. and together with Sumski  and Psycho Mutants . So, keeping my promise, I was there on the 27th of December. Melewai opened the festival and a lot of people did not reall

JERRY MOTOR - MARY

 JERRY MOTOR - MARY Jerry Motor's latest single, "Mary," plunges listeners into a captivating musical experience that resonates with haunting melodies and pulsating rhythms. With a vocal delivery reminiscent of a crossover between Skunk Anansie and Kate Bush, the band delivers a performance that is both powerful and evocative. From the moment the drums kick in, the song establishes a relentless momentum that drives the narrative forward. The pounding and thriving percussion sets the pace, adding layers of intensity to the composition. Each beat feels purposeful, contributing to the overall dynamic of the track. The guitar work in "Mary" is nothing short of mesmerizing. While maintaining a clean tone, it weaves intricate melodies that linger in the listener's mind long after the song has ended. The haunting quality of the guitar adds depth to the music, creating an atmosphere that is both eerie and enchanting. However, it's the bass that truly sh

ALPS. - WANT YOU NOW

 ALPS. - WANT YOU NOW Life is full of surprises.  Sometimes it gives you lemons, sometimes it gives you Alps..  At The Black Flamingo we really are blessed with the people that come visit us.  No matter how big or small the audience, they give the artists all the attention they deserve.  One day Jesse came over to watch a show here.  I didn't knew who he was but someone pointed out to me that he also was a musician and a songwriter.  After a little research (hurrah for socials) I came across two of his projects, Alps. and CYNN' (more about CYNN' later, I'm sure). For me Alps. is more than songs.  When I close my eyes while listening to them I can almost feel the scenery passing by.  Want You Now in particular makes me feel like being somewhere on a mountain pasture (Alps.?) and it's my perfect waking up song after a stressy week or a heavy night. I already had the privilege to see them perfom live and what a show that was ! Go check them out if you get the chance.
