HistoryThis one goes back a long time...
When around 1980 customs facilities were moved to Hazeldonk, the old Wuustwezel-Wernhout border looked like a ghost town. Deserted gas stations, closed-down bars, torn-down office blocks and desolated parking lots, all covered by tumbleweed. What an ideal spot for rehearsing with your band!
And so it happened: one of the biggest offices (previously owned by Gerlach) was rented. No more moving every six months, no more looking for a place to practice... Scoundrels was the name of the band in which i sang and played guitars. After having played together for about ten years (five years of which at 195) the band dissolved. Exit Scoundrels, enter Betty Ford Clinic. One of the first 195 recordings were done with this band and ended up on our debut cd Tralalapompompom, punkrock psychedelica at its best.
Actually, the very first band that made me sweat was this band called BPA (Brainless Pine Apples). I must admit, after all those years these recordings are still the perfect soundtrack for a swingin' party.
1992 was the start of a wild rocket ride. All the money i made in the studio was invested in new, more and better equipment. In 1996 the premises were bought and in 1998 i quit my day job to run the studio full-pro.
