The coolest shop in Limburg is without doubt Paplou. A haven for vintage diggers. The shop recently re-opened on a new location and expanded with more cool stuff and … a great section Vintage Crew vinyl. Check it out when you’re around :: Dorpstraat 37b, Hasselt !!

From Nov. 3rd till Dec. 31st, Tune Up will be hosting MEOW 002: A Cat Sleeve Exhibition.

MEOW 002 displays about 80 vinyl and cd sleeves that show the cat as central theme. MEOW is build more around the aestethics rather than the music.

Expect a.o. artworks from the renomated jazz-illustrator David Stone Martin (e.g. covers Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, …) and Stanley Donwood & Dr. Tchock (Radiohead). But also covers from Ladyhawk and Fleet Foxes and even more “spicy” sleeves with titles like “My Pussy Belongs to Daddy”.

Founder of the MEOW manisfesto is Kurt Overbergh. In depth info on the manifesto can be found via this link http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=123158456572

On Sunday October 25th @ 15.00, Dez Mona will play live at Tune Up to present their new album “Hilfe Kommt”.

The band recorded their 3rd album in the famous ICP Studios (see Urban Dance Squad, Indochine, The Cure, White Lies, dEUS, Renaud) with the help of former Talk Talk bassist & producer Paul Webb, aka Rustin Man (who co wrote and produced the soloalbum by Beth Gibbons’ of Portishead).

The album was mixed by Phil Delire, who produced or mixed Bashung, Indochine, Lavilliers, Aubert and Nougaro.

The result is an amazingly beautiful album, that will appeal to fans of Anthony & The Johnsons, Nina Simone, Jaques Brel or Gavin Friday
