About this concert
BIG TIN PRESENTS:
MELTHEADS
Meltheads, a band originating from Antwerp, has swiftly emerged from the
shadows to claim a notable position within the Belgian music scene. Their debut
album, "Decent Sex," has garnered acclaim not only domestically but is also
beginning to attract attention on an international scale. Described as "bawdy and
addictive" by De Morgen, this album has served as the catalyst for their rising
recognition.
The electrifying experience of witnessing Meltheads live is something that fans
already acquainted with their performances eagerly anticipate. Following their
release show at Trix, HUMO aptly cautioned, "Meltheads gives you wings, but
beware, it's addictive." This sentiment underscores the band's ability to captivate
audiences with their dynamic stage presence and infectious energy.
As Meltheads continue to ascend, the pinnacle of their success remains
undefined. However, one thing is certain: the journey ahead promises to be an
exhilarating one for this Antwerp-based post-punk/psych quartet. For those eager
to be part of their burgeoning trajectory, securing a spot in the front row promises
an unforgettable musical headbutt experience.

Meltheads Biography
Meltheads are four live wires from Antwerp, Belgium, bursting with talent, swagger and the urge to go all out, all the time. Driven by the metronomically tight rhythm section of Tim Pensaert (bass) and Simon de Geus (drums), and fuelled by the razor-sharp and skilful guitar-playing of Yunas de Proost, Meltheads spit out highly infectious garage, clever post-punk and fascinating cold and other wave, calling to mind The Chats, Amyl and the Sniffers, Gang of Four and Wire. Fourth member, and a real loose cannon onstage, is lead singer Sietse Willems, the bare-chested incarnation of Jim Morrison’s charisma, Robert Plant’s sex appeal and Iggy Pop’s fury.
Their live reputation is buzzing through the Low Countries like wildfire, and those who’ve witnessed them already know: these hungry wolves storm the stage as if they’re about to play the last show of their lives, kicking up a rumpus at festivals like Pukkelpop, Lokerse Feesten, Left of the Dial and their very own ‘Meltheads & Friends’ party at Trix in Antwerp. Still at the very beginning of their career, but you bet they will getabitarockin!
