about
It was in New York when I heard that Revenge 88 was going to perform on the 20th of December in Ostende -Belgium- I already knew that there was no way I would miss that show. It was a trip I really had to make. You might not know about them, but they were at the origin of the Belgian punk/underground rock movement of the late 70’s. * Revenge 88 on stage Gent Vooruit 1982 - They started out as StageBeast, and recorded, in 1978, a first single entitled “Belgium (ain't fun no more)”. It soon became #1 Punk single in Belgium. StageBeast, fronted by Frank Dubbe, was the wildest band you could ever have seen. They turned everything upside down, ripping the old scene to shreds to create a new one, their own. StageBeast quickly lost their record deal after joyfully wrecking the EMI manager’s office in Brussels. They changed their name to Revenge 88, and recorded a second single, “Neonlight”. It was another success, and the music video got aired on the HitRing. The band never lost its attitude and energy, but became even better, musically speaking. As far as Belgian Rock was concerned, they were the real deal. *Revenge 88 /Danny markey/Luc Bollock/Frank Dubbe/ and Willy Willy* Bad luck came in the way, and while The Kids got to tour overseas
