New BodyBeats event confirmed! 20.06 Lavvi Ebbel @ Kavka - Antwerp
Lavvi Ebbel was without doubt one of the most controversial bands of the Belgian New-Wave movement. In the early '80, the band gained the attentions of many with their successful singles like 'Give Me a Gun' and 'Victoria'. The band soon gained a solid live reputation and combination of guitarists (Marc De Wit and Chris Van Ransbeeck), pianist (Bea Van Ransbeeck), drummer Eric White, singer Luckas Vander Taelen, backing vocalist Kristien D' Haeger, backed by the brass player Jan Weuts gave them an unique and original sound.
Lavvi Ebbel played 'only' 200 times in Belgium and the Netherlands , both in small clubs and at prestigious festivals such as Seaside. On the compilation album 'Get Sprouts' which was a true sample of the music from that period Lavvi Ebbel released 'No Place To Go', a highlight in collaboration with producer Jean-Marie Aerts. 'Albu Meth' is probably the most famous mini-LP, with the cult song 'Le Cafard'. The group ceased to exist in 1983.
Now, 30 years later Lavvi Ebbel is back in the original line-up, reinforced with Kloot Per W on bass.
In the spring of 2014 Starman Records releases a compilation LP / CD with the greatest hits of Lavvi Ebbel, live recordings from 1983 and 2013, as well as a rousing remix of "Victoria" by none other than Buscemi.

Concert review: The Juggernauts + Front 242 @ Matrix (04.02.2014)
"Pounding beats, monumental synth sequences, a vigorous background and strong shouting vocals create an electronic cocktail in the typical Belgian old-school style. A way of making music, BORG as a live member of The Klinik, is very familiar with. The danceable aggression that arises in this sound mixture is presented by the two musicians with a large dose of coolness. With helmet and dark goggles BORG and Glenn seem to embody the comic villain With the same name. The audience felt well entertained and started to dance. The Juggernauts did a good job warming EBM crowd up and getting them to move their bodies." (translated from http://www.sparklingphotos.de)

ANNE CLARK featuring herrB (UK/D) + Support: SIMI NAH (B) @ Zappa
We are extremely proud to announce you:
ANNE CLARK featuring herrB (UK/D) - Support: SIMI NAH (B)
Anne Clark gets back to her roots for "live" shows in 2014, with her new electro duo project in collaboration with German musician and producer herrB. The show will include classic Anne Clark hits from the 80s such as “Sleeper in Metropolis,” “Our Darkness,” “Wallies,” “Hope Road,” and others, as well as material from her current ep Fairytales from the Underground and upcoming ep Life Wires.
Live performances will also feature an amazing light and visuals element by light designer Rick Kay (Alphaville) who also provided the mesmerising light show for Anne's 2009 performance at the Sinner´s Day Festival.
After touring with her band for the last 13 years and selling out venue capacites from 500 to over 1000 across Europe, Anne Clark is getting back to the electro duo line-up which made her famous. With the release of “Sleeper in Metropolis” (1983) and “Our Darkness” (1984), Anne Clark hooked a generation with her unique spoken word accompanied by danceable electro grooves. This sound and style became a staple of wave and EBM DJ sets across the world and remains a mainstay to this day.
This live show features Anne Clark on vocals accompanied by herrB´s 80's influenced but totally current danceable electro tracks.
