Moonshine Reunion !
If you've never heard of "Moonshine Reunion", shame on you!! ... or haven't you been following "the adventures of the ex Fab Frankies"? This 5 headed (Belgian) band, 4 ex "Fabulous Frankies" strengthened with the guitar picking of "Bart De Boeck" (ex Swampdolls), sure knows how to rock. Their demo is a real beauty, a mix of swamp-blues, rockabilly and hillbilly. Years of stage experience, a huge musical knowledge, and a healthy attitude results in a hell of a show.
It's about time to see them performing!! Visit their website or check "events" on billybop to see if you can catch a show near to your place.
