Trix XL (Hof-Ter-Lo), Antwerp, Belgium18th December 2010
Bim Fest 2010: DAF, Laibach, The Kids, The Bollock Brothers, Autodafeh, De Brassers, Sturm Café, Din[A]Tod, Emotional Violence
When the time has come to do the last preparations for Christmas, and the anticipation starts getting to unbearable due to the gifts that might be placed under the tree, the time has come for the yearly Belgian Independent Music Fest in Belgium. The 9th issue of the festival, as happened in all those before, assembles an outstanding line-up to bring up anticipation to the melting point. In 2009, Slovakian art collective LAIBACH were supposed to be headlining the festival alongside JUNO REACTOR but unfortunately couldn’t make it there back then. Well, this year at least one of the mentioned bands is actually going to play and that is LAIBACH, co-headlining before Robert Görl and Gabi-Delgado Lopez, also known as DAF, are going to bring the pack to a boil.
Native punk band THE KIDS have just catered for a fun evening at Sinner’s Day festival and there’s little chance they won’t succeed in raising the heat inside the building during their show at BIM fest as well. With DE BRASSERS, a Belgian institution is going to turn up at the festival, still on top following 30 years of existence with their mixture of cold and new wave. The festival is being opened this year by EMOTIONAL VIOLENCE, having not seen a stage for years they have lots of energies piled up to unleash to their minimalist synth grooves.
