Little Trouble Kids started off as a herky jerky minimalistic noisepop-duo, armed with nothing more than a homemade stompbox, two shrieky voices and an acoustic but totally overdriven guitar. In a rowdy bar in Antwerp LTK was discovered by Millionaire-frontman Tim Vanhamel, who dragged them to the dEUS-owned Vantage Point Studio (actually, without dEUS knowing about this…) and produced their debut album ‘LITTLE TROUBLE KIDS’. In one day eight tracks were slammed on tape, adding just a few wacko overdubs (flute, computer voices, analog synthesizer). At a later date three additional tracks were recorded. Pascal Deweze, together with Vanhamel, mixed the album… also on that very same day! It remains up to now unclear whether LTK thus broke Led Zeppelin’s record (36 hours!) for fastest recorded debut album ever… LTK’s debut was released early March 2010: the album, as it was recorded, rushes by like a speed train and has a highly unique sound and a distinct punky atmosphere. First single ‘90’s Dream’, accompanied by a DIY-stop motion videoclip, was immediately picked up by national radio station Studio Brussel. ‘LITTLE TROUBLE KIDS’ was widely praised, i.a. by Belgian legend Arno who named it his favorite album of the year. But the ball was now just beginning to roll… LTK pretty soon became noticed in the club/festival scene in the Lowlands, and a huge number of gigs followed: while keeping their daytime jobs they played a whopping 150 shows in two years’ time!
