SPRUNG AUS DEN WOLKEN La lune des pirates Amiens 09/12/1987

 

In December 1987, Front de l'Est, an association based in Amiens, organised a venue for Sprung Aus Den Wolken. At that time the band was promoting their album Story of Electricity . It was a great evening, Fred ALPI playing at home. We got to meet the band members and chat with them. 

 

I had already seen them a few months earlier at the 1st Underground Festival in Brussels, but unfortunately my pictures were lost by a friend I had lent them to. This is the only one left from that event. We met them in the streets of Brussels.

GORILLA BISCUITS Limelight Courtrai 24/09/1989

I went to this gig with my friend Dany (RIP) and for us it was 
special because it was the first time we saw a band from the USA.
I didn't remember if Foetus from BKZine was with us....JUDGE
was planned but was not there. PROFOUND (NL) replaced them 
and they largely fulfilled their role. RISE ABOVE was a local band 
(I think it was the second time I saw them). Overall it was a good 
evening even if I found that the atmosphere between metal kids and
straigh edge kids was not very friendly. During the GORILLA BISCUITS
set the crow gone mad.
