N°52 ARBEID ADELT! - LEKKER WESTERS

Sean d'Hondt is a VJ for TMF who also is the face of a Belgian band. Marcel Vanthilt used to be a VJ for MTV in London who used to be the face of a Belgian band called Arbeid Adelt!. I think the link is clear. First I must say that I hate the Arbeit Adelt! music but this blog isn't about what I like. It's abaout what ties into the link and I'm sure there must be someone out there who's fond of the 1980 pop electronic crazy shit Marcel and his buddy's created.
The band was formed early  1980's by Marcel Vanthilt and his buddy Jan Van Roelen using pseudonyms. Marcel used to be called Max Alexander and Jan was David Salamon. They lasted a decade and broke up in 1994 with a little reunion in 2007 for Marcel's 50th birthday. After that they perform ine in a while whenever they feel like it but no new records were composed or released.

Arbeid Adelt! created 5 albums which were called (in consecutive order): Jonge Helden (1983), Le Chagrin en Quatre-Vingts (1983), Des Duivels Oorkussen (1991), a compilation album (also in 1993) called Bijna Heeft Nooit een Haas Geschoten and a final album Methode Champenoise (1994). Some known Belgian musicians have contributed to some of the songs. I'll name two of them: Willy Willy (The Scabs) and Dani Klein (Vaya Con Dios)

Their very first song will probably be the link into the next blog. I'll be in Dutch again, that's for sure.

 

Don't know if anyone likes Arbeid so here goes nothing:
