AB files: May-June 2010 Just some of the upcoming highlights at Brussels' best music venue, including Los Lobos, Natalie Merchant and Megadeth...

Los Lobos
Tuesday 4 May 2010  
Main Hall standing
20h00 

You know Los Lobos from 'La Bamba', of course, but hopefully also from albums like 'Kiko' and 'La Pistola Y El Corazon'. Or you could compare them with Ry Cooder's recent American Mexican repertoire. Los Lobos are just as surprisingly diverse in their musical show: folklore as well as staunch rock or fiery funk up to and including sensational soundscape trips.

 

Natalie Merchant
Monday 10 May 2010 
Flex standing and seating

You know this distinctive voice from 10,000 Maniacs, especially in the 80's? Well, after that Natalie Merchant decided to continue under her own name. With an important turning point in 2003: the CD 'The House Carpenter's Daughter', which she released herself and exquisitely idiosyncratically based upon existing poems and lyrics.

Paul Weller

The UK's Guardian newspaper is raving about Weller's new album, Wake Up the Nation.

Megadeth
Tuesday 8 June 2010
Main Hall standing

Megadeth, established in 1983, is one of the pioneers of the trash-metal genre (together with Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax, Megadeth companions in The Big Four tour this year). In their almost 30-year existence the band has had more than 20 official members but Mustaine (who also provides the vocals) remains the only constant factor. 25 million copies of their 12 studio albums have been sold world-wide.

Willie Nelson
Thursday 24 June 2010 
Main Hall standing

Country, of course. But Willie Nelson is so much more than a country icon by now. As proven by his latest American Classic CD: on Blue Note, bursting with timeless 'torch-songs' and 'standards', and with Norah Jones, Diana Krall… Just the sort of 'evergreen' excursions that this spirited American also already successfully perpetrated with his ground-breaking Stardust album (produced by Booker T)!

20h00

 


Deftones
Tuesday 15 June 2010
Main Hall standing

‘Rocket Skates’, that's the title of the furious forerunner to the new Deftones album ‘Diamond Eyes’ that is to be released in May. Deftones is, as ever, the American rock band that builds a biting wall of guitar sound around the melancholy voice of singer Chino Moreno.
