dEUS

The very first Belgian-based indie act ever to sign to a significant international label, the improvisational avant-grunge group dEUS was originally made up of vocalist/guitarist Tom Barman, bassist Stef Kamil Carlens, drummer Julle De Borgher, violinist Klaas Janzoons, and guitarist Rudy Trouvé. Shaped in Antwerp in 1991, dEUS started their profession as firmly a cover music group, but soon started performing fresh materials, honing an irreverent, free-form live display drawing on affects which range from folk and punk to jazz and prog rock and roll. After issuing a four-track EP entitled Zea, dEUS installed some London shows that resulted in a agreement with Island Information. In 1994, the group released its full-length bow, Most severe Case Scenario, earning acclaim for the singles “Suds and Soda pop” and “Via.” After announcing programs to produce their very own pornographic film, they released 1995’s My Sister, My Time clock; however, within the wake from the record’s discharge, Carlens exited to spotlight his side task, Moondog Jr. Trouvé shortly followed fit, channeling his energies in to the group Kiss My Jazz; with brand-new guitarist Craig Ward and bassist Danny “Great Rocket” Mommens in tow, dEUS came back towards the studio room to trim 1997’s Within a Bar, Beneath the Sea. THE PERFECT Crash implemented in 1999. On the next 10 years, dEUS released just two albums, Pocket Trend and Vantage Stage, before releasing Hold You Close in 2011.
