I'm exited to announce that I'm the new drummer of the band The Mad Trist.
Here is the official press release (in Dutch):
The Mad Trist vindt nieuwe drummer
The Mad Trist is weer op volle sterkte met de komst van drummer Roy Moonen. Moonen was eerder actief als drummer van o.a. Born From Pain.
Bassist Luc Hameleers: “We zijn blij dat we zo snel weer aan de bak kunnen en het is meer dan fijn dat we iemand in onze directe omgeving hebben weten te vinden waar we al jaren mee bevriend zijn”.
Kersvers bandlid Roy Moonen “Vanaf de eerste repetitie was er een goede klik. Het is te gek om aan het begin van het creatieve schrijfproces in te stappen en van dag één betrokken te zijn bij het ontstaan van het tweede album”.
De Maastrichtse band is druk aan het schrijven aan het nieuwe album dat naar verwachting begin 2012 uit zal komen.

KENDO BAHN ORCHESTRA
Named after the illustrious inventor of the detector for metal fatigue on long stretches of iron-composite, the Kendo Bahn Orchestra was founded. Coming from different backgrounds, the two members of the Kendo Bahn Orchestra excel in combining the sheer speed of metal, the limitlessness of free floating improvisations and a vast selection of electronic and digital processed sounds. The Kendo Bahn Orchestra is a shared project where an emerging drummer, already played at a range of international stages in different bands, meet an electro-experimentalist, profiling internationally in sonic arts. A language in sound and composition is being invented live in front of the audience, but always is energetic, dynamic and a bit frantic. Perhaps not the best answer to counter the everyday stress of an e-industrialized and globalized life, maybe even more chaos is added, but for sure the Kendo Bahn Orchestra will supply you a maximum surplus of dysfunctional energy.
Check out the "video" section.
07.08.2009
New Projects:
Kendo Bahn Orchestra (Experimental Electro Noise)
Paul Devens: Electronics
Roy Moonen: Drums
The Count (Fusion)
Virgil Rerimassie: Chapman Stick / Bass
Stijn
Friederichs: Saxophone / Ewi
Roy Moonen: Drums
More info soon.
