Handkerchief at the Comic and Book Square

"Big City Blues" is the title of the new – fifth – album by the Antwerp band Handkerchief, which will be released on September 27. As the title suggests, the big city now plays a more central role in the band's world. This results in a somewhat harder rocking sound, more guitars, but still that bluesy feel with a steaming horn section and the rugged voice of Christof Annaert, which sounds as if he has single-handedly cleared every dark alley in the big city of every possible scum. Their latest albums "Mutiny Ballads & Fishguarding Songs" and "Ghosts of this Town" were particularly well received by press and fans. Singles like "They Drive by Night", "Human Sense" and "Lucky Day" were regularly heard on national radio: including Willy, Radio 1... and the band played many dozens of shows in Belgium and the Netherlands. And now live at the Comic and Book Square.
