Pierre Vervloesem Group ft. Bruno Vansina

As a regular member of Pierre Vervloesem Group, Vansina invites Vervloesem for a “residency” concert at the Singer.

Pierre Vervloesem is an atypical guitarist and composer, also called the Belgian Frank Zappa by the press. Vervloesem gets the best out of ‘Belgian-style Compromis’: mastery of the jazz field, the use of the energetic rhythms of classic rock, combined with the lively and boundless sides of the electronic universe. He offers an extravagant body of work sprinkled with a touch of madness.

Vansina and Vervloesem met 20 years ago at Flat Earth Society Orchestra (FES). It soon became clear that they shared a great fascination for Frank Zappa but also Talking Heads, Martin Denny, John Hassel … Partly because of this they were roommates for years during the various international tours with FES.

Musically they found each other more and more in various projects of Vansina (Nirvana Bonus, Het meisje en de vogel, Orchestra Exotica, Urbaan Vonnis, Sitcom 85’) or of Vervloesem (Caca, Simple, Flambant Neuf, 30 Years Of Succes) and a few more are in the pipeline ‘as we speak’.

Normally this band plays only PV's repertoire. For this occasion they are extending the repertoire with compositions by Vansina. It will be an evening with tons of energy, the necessary humour and musical absurdities, but above all a collaboration between two musicians and friends, an evening of ‘copains’, thick as thieves.
