Uncommonmenfrommars represent a lot of things for me. It makes me think about all this time I spent on my skateboard, trying to make some cool tricks … I was 15.
I was so happy to record this band !
But the shooting was not easy. They play too loud ! Our Hard drive was suffering … and the video recording should stop every 2 minutes.
Finally, after 4 missed shots, our video engineer put a pillow under the video laptop. And Uncommonmenfrommars played as loud as they’re used to.

Another Belgian Band we recorded on last session at Dour Festival : YEW

They’re described as a folk-rock band, and they were 7 to play under the Yurt.
Just watch the video to see how they enjoy playing together !
Beautifull energy and vibrations from these guys…

Enjoy !
YEW

When we proposed Mahala Raï Banda if they wanted to play in the yurt,
we had one problem : none of them spoke English, Flemish or French !
We finally found their manager.
After two or three words in romanian, the 11 musicians of the orchestra
walked joyfully to the yurt.

It was kind of a technical challenge for our sound guys,
but the band was so easy going that everything went fine !

Mahala Raï Banda are represented by Crammed Discs
Check their myspace and enjoy !!!

Hi,

Another talentuous belgian band this week with Marble Sounds.
Their music between The Notwist and Pinback is especially recommended
for those mornings when you have all the time you want to get out from bed !

Check their website and myspace !

When Attic Addict first came at Dour Festival in 2010,
We recorded lots of very good belgian rock bands.
Have a look on the Vismets, or Frank Shinobi, for example…

Here is one of Dour’s 2011 vintage : El National Quarterback, from Liège, Belgium !
Follow them on Facebook and Myspace

Enjoy this short jam session of Stupeflip !
2 musicians of the band took what they found in the studio, a bass and the drums.
They made kind of a cover of his well know song :”A bas la hiérarchie”.

You can listen to the original song here !
Have a look on his website and facebook !

Hi,

Last session of 2011, the five members of Kaf*k come from Belgium.
Their Website
Enjoy new year’s eve !

Systema Solar brought the whole solar system in the yurt late at night…
They were full of energy, will to dance and play music together…
They waked us up very quickly !
You should wake up too, after this video !

So good to share this Shiny session with you.

Enjoy !

Ghost Poet is a really good “souvenir” of Dour 2011 !
He was a discovery for the european public and his show was amazing.
He was a discovery for us, and he came in the yurt with his faith, his confidence, and a lot of stuff we had to plug to make this session happen !

Check out his Website !

Nous avions déjà enregistré une session avec Louis Aguilar. Il avait 18 ans et déjà pas mal d’idées sur l’écriture de chansons. C’était il y a 10, non 5, euh non, il y a 3 ans.
Il était accompagné d’Amélie ( Saison 2 ), et sa musique était habitée.

3 ans après, Louis Aguilar est toujours habité, mais plus que ça, son nouvel album est très bien habillé d’une batterie, d’une basse, et de compositions belles à faire s’émouvoir ta grand-mère qui a jamais pété un mot d’anglais !

Louis Aguilar already played in the Attic 3 years before ( with Amelie ). He was young and promising…
Today, we’re glad to hear him again, with a drummer and a bassist, releasing a new album !
