Red Zebra is a famous Belgian punk-band founded in Bruges in 1978. One of their main influence was... Joy Division. Today, they still cover 'Transmission' in concert. Following the release of Anton Corbijn's 'Control', Red Zebra's members have collected Joy Division & New Order rare objects and have exhibited them in Bruges library. This collection will be moved to Plan K for the Factory Night.

I'll be there as well

The radio teaser can be heard here: http://www.lefantastique.net/factory/files/c21.mp3

So, have the organisers made any attempts to secure the rights for showing the recently surfaced footage of Joy Division's first performance at Plan K? Shirley, this would be an excellent occasion.

If anyone wants a couple of tickets to the Brussels night PM me NOW.

You can have them for nowt, but hurry up, you're fighting the Christmas post.

Actually, there might be four on the go - I don't think Roys is gonna make it either.

I've been in touch with Tom Atencio. It was indeed a good opportunity but we couldn't make it in the end. Anyway, we had no real time slot to screen the documentary. Doing it in a theatre would have been a solution but I had no time to take care of it...

So who's making the short longboat trip to Bruxelles then?

Danny, Anja, Bernd, Matthias, Christian, Toni, Bodo, Verena, Gordie and Me.

La Premiere, the main french-speaking belgian radio broadcasts a 5-days documentary about Factory with interview of Michel Duval (Fac Benelux / Crepuscule), Michel Sordinia (The Names), Geoffroy Klompkes (journalist), and myself (...).

You can listen to the first day here (jump directly to 775s): http://www.rtbf.be/podcast/montrev2/index.htm?key=LP-NES&chaine=lapremiere

The rest should follow the next days.

Well, me, but you knew that anyway! :)

I've read somewhere, he trapped you in a toilet for four days or so. :D

Oh dear.

Who circulated THEM?

If anyone needs one ticket and/or a bed in a twin room in a ***-Hotel (28 Euro) with breakfast near the venue, drop me a mail!

Some good texts from our men in Brussels last night.

Section 25 did a good version of No Love Lost, and Hooky joined then on Bass for Temptation.

A great night indeed !

Saw someone with a "Confusion" and "kNOledge destroyed" shirt. I suppose that was you, confusion ?

I think I have spotted TJ as well, up front during Crispy Ambulance.

A superb night! Great to meet up again with the English guys (Al, Don, Tim, JG & others) and meeting some new faces. The place was packed when Hooky did his set. Quality when the man put on his bass & did Temptation 'S25'stylee!!

Fantastic night, up there with the very best Viking invasions. Really great to go to such a legendary venue, even if it was waaay too packed. Managed to tape Crispy Ambulance and the first half of Section 25's set, then the batteries failed just before No Love Lost, and obviously I wasn't able to tape Temptation. Quality ;) DJ set from the Hookstar, the usual mix of banging tunes and catastrophic mixing, but we all had a good laugh. Top Viking turnout as usual, the guys were all in good form, and it was great to meet up with Bundesorder, Jan (many thanks for the lift!) and Mario again.
