THE KLINIK (LAST SHOW)

NO SLEEP BY THE MACHINE

THE KLINIK

electronic / post- industrial project from Belgium, since the 80s, is without doubt one of Belgium’s most and internationally known industrial/electronic bands since 1982, who influenced and inspired whole generations of young electronic artists up until today. Formed by analogue synth and electronics wizard Marc Verhaeghen and Dirk Ivens.
The Klinik really took off in the mid eighties and after the release of one of their main artifacts, the album ‘Sabotage’. They soon made a name with their cold and harsh electronic sound combined with strong video images and their dark but powerful live shows, performing with their heads wrapped in gauze, wearing long black leather coats. Ivens hissing vocals and minimalist lyrics were complemented by Verhaeghens synthesizer skills and distorted trumpet playing giving the music a slightly feverish sound. Floorfillers like Moving Hands, Black Leather and many more are still frequently played on dancefloors worldwide and their music inspired a lot of newcomer bands.
They reunited for a concert in 2003 and since then they play live on a regular base. The members these days are Ivens Dirk, Marc Verhaeghen and Peter Mastbooms (Live Sounds and Video Images) Eric Van wonterghem (Audio Engineering), but because of continuing health problems Marc will not join the band on stage.
