Earthman Doublewood - Bad Blood

Mathias — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 20:59:42 +0000

After years of crossing paths with Gered Stowe and going through the steps of recording in multiple places and countries, we are proud to announce that Earthman Doublewood's debut album is now available for digital purchase on, amongst others, CD baby!

And of course also on

The physical copies of the CD will go on sale within 2 weeks at CD Baby! The album may have been called something like Hotels, Fields, Cigarettes, Studios, Trains and Life, but thankfully we didn't get to name the album, and it is after all Bad Blood!

W.A.N.E ep release

Mathias — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 12:35:34 +0000

On the 20th of February this year W.A.N.E released their debut ep and played a smoking showcase at the Garcia Lorca downtown Brussels. Recorded. Mixed and produced by Mottowsound, the ep was essentially recorded live over 2 days at their rehearsal space, and the energy on the recordings again makes a case for tracking a band live! A new player on the Brussels R n R scene to be reckoned with!

Texas Hold Em

Mathias — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 07:25:19 +0000

After thinking for a long time that Brussels had no real music scene or community to speak of, I have come to the realization that there is a strong movement screaming ROCK n ROLL from the underground. In true Brussels style it seems the bands on the scene form anything but a cohesive mass, showing up every attitude from GG Allin to straight edge. Erupting out of the ashes of The Negro Conspiracy and onto the scene is Texas Hold Em, self proclaimed rock n roll machine running on 100% Jack Daniels. This their first video was shot/directed and produced by PiWiCliP in conjunction with Mottowsound.

Captain Cheesebeard

Mathias — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 11:02:17 +0000

Captain Cheesbeard at the Zappanale 20th anniversary

"take your whatever and ram it up your whatever"

Just back from the annual Zappanale Festival in Bad Doberan in Germany and still buzzing with the vibe of thousands of Zappa freaks hanging out together. It was incredible seeing and hearing Zappa band alumni like Don Preston, Napoleon Murphy Brock and Ike Willis. The Gail Zappa infused jealously and greed was completely absent. The band had a great gig and is preparing for their DVD live recording of their show at the newly opened Indigo Studios in Brussels. MUSIC IS BEST

Live Cut from Zappanale
Title: Village of the Sun

One the first songs of the set while people were still walking onto the festival grounds:

Dave De Bourg

Mathias — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 11:55:50 +0000

After releasing a live Ep of Dave with his band in Spring, we are in the process of tracking a new full length studio album with Dave. Work work work! Dave De Bourg is one of our first in-house label artists and we feel that the potential for a break through is really strong. As long as the fans show us their continued support and loyalty, we may just be able to be part of the re-definition of the rather pathetic state of the majors and the way their presence has dominated the markets. The Independents are the new future in Europe as well. We thank everyone for every bit of support and would of course be psyched if some of you would check out our Artists and maybe buy a song or two. Stay posted for more news about Dave!
