2 New releases coming up! Release date 12 May 2025

SEK-tah is a band. Pikdorser is the title of the album. SEK-tah only played live 2 times as a result of the coronavirus. After Kloot Per W and Rudy Trouvé made a cassette they decided to make an lp. They asked Marcel Vanthilt to join them on lyrics and vocals. The result is a mixture of post punk, psychedelica and what they call in Flanders “kleinkunst”. The lyrics are in Dutch. After a long resting period on the shelves of heaven hotel, this LP finally sees the light! Enjoy
“Mango Midnight”, the second album by Sunshine Recorder, is another attempt at ambient guitar music. Failed however, because ambient music is known as functional music, suitable to be the backdrop of activities such as meditation, introspection, sensual massage, lovemaking, online furniture shopping, or as a calming agent while doomscrolling. These activities are not recommended while listening to “Mango Midnight”. However, if you let it, it might evoke faraway tropical scenery, or nearby dark ditches. Or you might suddenly remember your last blackout in detail. The music is hard to categorise, but words like psychedelic, exotic, melancholic, dreamy, hypnotic might come to mind. Or just a big hive of distracting guitar wank, when engaged in one of the aforementioned activities.

10th of JANUARY 2025 – ROLAND AND I H8 CAMERA ALBUM RELEASE!

Heaven Hotel conjured up an album with the legendary Roland Van Campenhout! The result is being released by the exquisite Starman Records.

Free spirits improvised for two days (each day in a different line-up) in Joris Caluwaerts’ Finster studio. From this, 10 pearls of songs were distilled that showcase both the versatility of the band and Roland in all their variety and glory. Roland’s very personal lyrics can be understood as unadulterated storytelling about a particularly rich and crazy life as one of Belgium’s most legendary musicians.

‘Two Days is August’ is a sultry, intense and beautiful record that needs to be heard.

Also playing on the album: Teuk Henri, Elko Blijweert, Hannes D’Hoine, Jeroen Stevens, Alain Rylant, Bjorn Eriksson, Joris Caluwaerts, Tomas De Smet, Wouter Van Belle, Aarich Jespers, Buni Lenski, Sigrid Van Rosendaal, Gert Wyninckx.

The album can be ordered via our bandcamp https://heavenhotel.bandcamp.com/album/two-days-in-august and via the Starman website!

EXPO RUDY TROUVE in CC Muze te Heusden-Zolder ! (iH8 Camera op opening 20 september)

RUDY TROUVÉ – ‘Fracture’
20/09 > 31/10/2024 | 10u-16u30 | MUZEcafé

Rudy Trouvé presenteert met ‘Fracture’ gloednieuw beeldend werk op de mezzanine van het MUZEcafé in de knappe architectuur van de gerenoveerde koolmijn. Net zoals Trouvé muzikaal vele stijlen omarmt, zo beweegt hij zich vol overtuiging in de beeldwereld. Schilderijen, tekeningen, cartoons, collages, animatiefilmpjes… Vaak met ruwe materialen creëert hij aan de lopende band. Met zijn beeldend werk geeft hij ongegeneerd een inkijk in zijn leven. Zijn expo ‘Fracture’ wordt 20 september stijlvol geopend met het improcollectief I H8 CAMERA met o.a. Stef Kamil Carlens, Jef Mercelis, Teuk Henri, Rodrigo F Palavincino & Jean-Philippe De Gheest. Pure improvisatie met een steeds veranderende line-up van muzikanten. I H8 Camera kent geen songs. Enkel de obscure aanwijzingen van ceremoniemeester Rudy Trouvé. Elk optreden is als een kraakvers wit canvas, klaar om bewerkt te worden. En zo is Trouvé zowel virtuoos als beeld- én als muziekmaker. De expo van Rudy Trouvé opent 20/09 om 20u en het concert start omstreeks 21u. De toegang is gratis maar wegens de beperkte capaciteit kan je best inschrijven. De expo is te beleven tot en met donderdag 31 oktober, elke dag van 10u tot 16u30.
