The Love Company

The Love Company at "Atelier 210" (Brussels)

The Love Company played Atelier 210 in Brussels on a Saturday, March 14.

Advertising for this show was kept on the down-low, due to my paranoia about us not being prepared. It worked out just fine. Karo, our former singer/bassplayer banged those drums, and Steven Holsbeeks, our mute but freakishly talented guitarist, took the night off.

It's nice to play a new city, (somewhere besides Antwerp). Atelier 210 treated us real good, and I'd play there again if they asked. We were support for "You and You", a singer/songwriter project straight outta France. They played a good set. I watched and felt zen.

On the train back to Antwerp we started playing (see above)

TRIX

So we played TRIX, a concert venue here in Antwerp last Saturday (25/10/2008) as the support for SOON. Not much to say except the sound was good, the lights fancy-shmancy and the crowd: LUVIN' IT.

Love Story

Singer, Steven Kremers met guitarist Steven Holsbeeks on a boat cruise en route to the Ivory Coast. Holsbeeks had fled Belgium in order to pay off some hefty gambling debts. The 2 met while in the ships jacuzzi and discovered they shared a burning desire to make "excellent, excellent music of a high-class-standard".
Kremers offered to pay his gambling debts in exchange for his guitar services. Holsbeeks agreed.

The Internet is great. Myspace is amazing. Steven spent the summer of 2006 recording and uploading songs to his Myspace page.
His song "The Plan" was an overnight success and it wasn't long before local guitar hero Younes Faltakh, of The Hickey Underworld, was buying him drinks and telling him how good he looked.. (and sounded) . Later, it was revealed that Faltakh could also drum. Steven saw the great marketing/networking potential in this and offered to 'buy him out' of THU.
Younes repeatedly declined. Faltakh suggested drumming for The Love Company while still playing in The Hickey Underworld. Steven agreed under the condition that The Love Company become his first priority, Younes replied: 'No fucking way'.

Going out is AWESOME.You never know what's going to happen and who you're going to meet. It was by going out that Steven Kremers met future bass player and backing vocalist: Karolien Vanransbeeks.She provided the beautiful vocals heard on The Love Companys demo. Karolien recently left the band to become a proffessional darts player.
