Mensen Blaffen (translated that would be "People Bark") was a group from Aalst who excelled in their funky and weird rock between 1984 en 1988. When asked to describe their own music, they said : "hardcore-chanson, ugly mixed with beautiful, sweetness and dirty worms together on a rotting horse. But the characteristic of Mensen Blaffen is exactly the difficulty of describing our music. It doesn't smell like Belgium, but it smells like the times in which we live". more info :http://houbi.com/belpop/groups/mensenblaffen.htm

If i remember well i heard of Mensen Blaffen for the first time on Radio 2, Rockgolf, presented by Gust De Coster, somewhere halfway the '80s. Anyone over here remembering that program? Thanx for sharing!

ReplyDeletesorry' ala modest' it's seems no one is posting any other stuff by mensen blaffen yet' but i will checked it for you.. thanks for the comment...
ReplyDeleteThere was some other releases but a record company got a warrant on them and were taken down. Which is unfortunate as I had them before but my computer crashed and lost all the information. I really loved those tracks so if I don't see the CD out sometime, I'll have to hope someone puts them up for download again.
ReplyDeleteThe link is dead. Any chance of it being re-uploaded?
