Ode to TC Matic Emma Rotsaert (24), young & furious, renowned actress (How to Kill Your Sister, Play4 & Streamz) and experienced stage beast (Parkaparaplu & Body Electric, Sisters of Mercy-tribute), 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 beginning of the '80s. Met Arno Hintjens, Jean-Marie Aerts, Serge Feys, Ferre Baelen and Rudy Cloet! Emma Rotsaert, a wild girl from Bruges, takes the sharp, rock-hard grinding funk rock of TC Matic completely into her own hands. 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 … Rock-hard & scorching! Completely TC Matic: a tribute where no sound wall remains standing. Omdat Emma very well knows that Arno has already been frequently and deservedly honored and praised, it will now only be about that never-equaled band: TC Matic. To be sure that no stupidities are told, she has engaged Marcel Vanthilt. He was there from the first minute, went on tour with the band and did the light show. Vanthilt is going to do that again during this tour: a light show from the stage! He will also not hold back from publicly throwing around unknown and juicy anecdotes about the five musical tenors of TC Matic shamefully but with never-fading love. Met Emma Rotsaert - Parkaparaplu, Body Electric (vocals) Geert Van Bever - Dead Man Ray, Parkaparaplu (guitar) Kurt De Waele - Red Zebra (drums) Levi Verheyen - Led Zeppelin-tribute band (bass) Marcel Vanthilt - Arbeid Adelt!, De M-Show @ Radio Willy (light & commentary) & a special guest on keyboards!
