VI.BE

2 musical epicureans present popsongs with delirious outbursts. Hi Hawaii’s Jens Bouttery & Lennart Heyndels bring an homage to everyday life by means of self-irony, honesty and grandiose household drama. Their live performances have a wild reputation with a crazy sauce of modular analogue synths, spicy samples and untamed vocals on top of their interlocked bass & drum-vaganza.

Both multi-instrumentalists have a rich background in jazz (Jef Neve, Thunderblender, Kaja Draksler, Ben Sluijs), theatre (Wunderbaum, BOG., Club Guy & Roni) and film music (Anthony Schatteman, Moon Blaisse) and they do not fear to put these elements into play. They were also hired as the rythm section for albums of Warhaus and Admiral Freebee.

For their debut album “The List” released in March 2020 on W.E.R.F.-records, they extended their sound with horns, flutes and strings to blend in with the modular synths they joyfully tweak. The result is an unrestrained personal voyage with the aura of a pinball machine that might make you dance, laugh and cry at the same time.
