VI.BE

Sasha and The Lunatics are Sasha Dehan on vocals, Bartolomeo Terrazzino on guitar, Maxime Winand on bass and Remo Spezza on drums. Four musicians, four personalities and a friendship that grew alongside the band itself. Here, quirks and differences aren’t something to smooth out: they’re part of what makes the band what it is.

The quartet plays modern alternative rock rooted in blues rock, where riffs, groove and melodies thrive on contrast. It’s a sound the band likes to call “retrofuturistic”: it sounds a little like the past while facing forward. The lyrics dig into contradiction, both personal and collective: the pull between freedom and peace, the loss of control, disillusionment with the world as it is, but also the stubborn refusal to stop dreaming of something else.

But to really understand Sasha and The Lunatics, you have to see them live. Since their debut show in 2023, the band has played stages and festivals across Belgium, including Classic 21 Festival, Spirit of 66, Zik-Zak, Reflektor, and Park Rock Festival. On this, all four agree: SATL is a live band. Songs shift, evolve, and lean on the chemistry between them night to night.

Following their debut EP First Phase (November 2025), the band is moving into a new chapter. Their sound is pulling further from the classic-rock leanings of their earliest songs, making room for the four distinct personalities behind it. While Sasha and The Lunatics remain attached to the decades that shaped rock music, they have no interest in recreating them. That legacy is part of their vocabulary; it doesn’t dictate what comes next.

After all, who's ever managed to put a Lunatic in a box?
