An ode to TC Matic: Marcel Vanthilt, Emma Rotsaert,...

The young and furious Emma Rotsaert is a renowned actress (‘How to Kill Your Sister’, Play4 and Streamz) and experienced stage animal (Parkaparaplu & Body Electric, Sisters of Mercy-tribute) and has been wild for years about a band she has never seen live: TC Matic. TC Matic is the most legendary post-punk formation of the Belpop from the early 80s. Met Arno Hintjens, Jean-Marie Aerts, Serge Feys, Ferre Baelen, and Rudy Cloet. Emma bends the sharp, rock-hard grinding funk rock of TC Matic entirely to her will. She picks the most explosive dynamite from the three albums of TC Matic: TC Matic (1981), L’Apache (1982), and Choco (1983). The hits are there, but especially the forgotten live classics shine: ‘The Parrot Brigade’, ‘L’Union fait la force’, ‘Que pasa’, ‘I’m Not Gonna Listen’, ‘Ha Ha’, ‘Being Somebody Else’… To be sure that no nonsense is told, she enlisted Marcel Vanthilt. He was there from the first minute, went on tour with the band, and did the light show. Vanthilt will do that again during this tour: a light show from the stage! In addition, he brings unknown and juicy anecdotes about the five musical tenors of TC Matic.
