Looking for a little bit of warmth in these short, cold winter days is almost mandatory and not a hard thing to do in Antwerp. From visiting the Christmas markets all over the country to sipping hot chocolate near a stove or fireplace. There’s so many things to do and see. However, by the time new year comes around, almost everyone is sick of those endless Christmas songs that remind you all too much of the wet snow and cold feet that come with the season.
Let be your antidote to gloomy days and the inevitable holiday blues! This band of eleven (!! Yes you heard me, eleven) is a local treat that is well on their way to become nationally and internationally heard.
With one kick-ass lady in the lead of 10 guys, Bottle of Moonshine is not your typical contemporary band. The sounds that have shaped their music can be found in days gone by: Jazz, blues, reggae, brassband, ska music, soul, … It’s a different world from the huge electronic music scene, but that is exactly why they are able to bring magic to the floor.
When you’re used to dancing the night away to pounding techno beats, their warm sultry sound is a welcome change and is guaranteed to have your feet jiving and arms swinging.
With a brand new cd just in time for the holidays, Bottle of Moonshine treats their fans and lovers of melodic instruments alike to a listen of their newest tracks. This Friday, 11th of December in , Antwerp.
So grab a gal, grab a guy, put on your dancing shoes and head to Petrol for an evening of heartwarming, feet jiving, skirts swinging musical entertainment that will make you wonder why we don’t hear more of them.
release party at 11th of December
