Biography
With KLAKMATRAK, Brent Vanneste pushes live music as we know it to a boiling point until you wonder if any of it is still digestible for the average person. Vanneste and his buddy Dreeten Van Maris do not invent this noise for Jan and certainly not for Alleman. The duo throws frightening genres such as gabber, hardcore, industrial and other bellicose noise into the wok, shakes it up and the dish you end up having impaled on your stomach tastes like chaos, madness and something that will give your parents a nervous breakdown. Máár, half an hour of Klakmatrak earns you two big thumbs up because of your Fitbit, as your energy consumption goes up 700 percent. The musical equivalent of a chain collision, of a bleeding horse catapulted into a pond full of hungry piranhas, and a throw of a bowling ball that delivers a strike in your own lane as well as in the lane next to it. Have you ever seen Atari Teenage Riot live? Anyone who thought that was crazy will conclude after half an hour of Klakmatrak that, all in all, Atari colored nicely within the lines, Klakmatrak is more like Jackson Pollock with beats. Who is not afraid of this crazy ride: fasten your seatbell and come to our Club Studio Brussels on Tuesday, August 6.
