ARBEID ADELT! + PARKAPARAPLU

ARBEID ADELT! + PARKAPARAPLU

ARBEID ADELT!, the standard-bearer of minimalist, Dutch-language new wave/synthpop, returns to the Singer! The historic album 'Jonge Helden' (1981) brought them instant eternal fame, and the single 'Lekker Westers' (1983) a Belpop classic. The line-up changed wildly, with icons such as Luc Van Acker (Revolting Cocks), Dani Klein (Vaya Con Dios), Willy Willy (The Scabs) or Andrew Chi Claes (Stuff), ...

Marcel Vanthilt keeps raging on, to this day, in anarcho-dadaist electro-supertronica. Incidentally: Vanthilt often strayed into TV land  and today is a DJ at Radio Willy with his alternative 'De M-Show'. On 2 February ARBEID ADELT! releases "AA!PKPP", a fresh and spicy new album in collaboration with PARKAPARAPLU.

PARKAPARAPLU is an energetic darkwave duo from Antwerp, consisting of singer and actress Emma Rotsaert and Geert Vanbever. Emma is known for, among other things, her leading role in the Ensor-nominated TV drama series 'How To Kill Your Sister'. Geert comes from the same absurd planet as Vanthilt. As a veteran of Wizzards Of Ooze, Rudy Trouvé Septet, Dead Man Ray, Tuff Guac and others, he worked with Hugh Cornwell (The Stranglers) and Budgie (The Banshees).

ARBEID ADELT! + PARKAPARAPLU combine their unique madness on one album, with forceful titles such as “Taliban Cocktail Jurk', 'Swastika Elastika' or 'Knipmes Freejazz'. One fan reports: “It's a hatchet-swinging new repertoire, abstract & brutal, sombre & energetic, guitar-cut & voice-raised! AA!PKPP cuts straight through everything! 2026 is already sharp!”. The duo's debut album came out in early April. On 6 June you can see the unique combination ARBEID ADELT! + PARKAPARAPLU live on the stage of the Singer!
