BIO

First you play for gasmoney and a halfcooked plate of spaghetti.

Then you go on playing for gasmoney, merch sales and that same plate of food.

From then on, it gets serious !
Up to the point where you get served steak !

A short story

Blackup. 4 guys. Gent. Belgium. No bull. Punkrock. Postpunk. First album 2011. New album this year 2013. Humpty Dumpty !

Xavier comments in 2011 : " We all love those old punk and postpunk bands. So we just wrote songs that were straight forward, direct, to-the-point. We rehearsed, played shows, recorded the album. Next thing we know, Jon Spencer wants to work on our album together with Ivan Julian. Jon is known of course from the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Pussy Galore, Boss Hog and many other outfits. And Ivan was the original guitar player in Richard Hell & the Voidoids. When we heard about the Voidoids reference, we nearly lost it. The great Pieter van Buyten (bassist in Flip Kowlier’s band) recorded and did the final mix ! Needless to say, we were stoked. Major stoked ! Then John Reis (Rocket From the Crypt, Hot Snakes, Sultans, Drive Like Jehu...) asks us to join the Hot Snakes on their fall 2011 dates in Europe ! How can we say no to the Swami !!"
