Les Baudouins Morts existed between 1996 and 2000. They were a local
cult band, with a strong following in the underground scene in and
around the town of Leuven (Belgium). Their music, if that’s what you
want to call it, was just an excuse to promote radical leftwing
protest, make sick jokes, criticize about everything and everyone
walking the face of the planet and give everyone involved the
opportunity to play his instrument to his own liking. The lyrics
were always in Dutch, interlaced with an idiom derived from local
dialect, making it practically impossible to perform outside of
Flanders. Concerts were usually defined by a strong connection
between band and audience.
Les Baudouins Morts always played for free, to emphasize the fact
that music and all other forms of cultural creativity should never
be a part of the economy. They were the precursors of the
ever-growing ‘Ram Sabam’-movement which is currently trying to put
an end to the all too powerful grip of the Belgian copyright
organisation, called Sabam, on the music scene.
During its four years of existence, the band included the following
members:
C3A – lead vocals
Baudouin Lahaut – backing vocals
Pater Meinhof – backing vocals
Buenaventura D’Orazio – lead guitar
Markies de Schade – keyboards, trumpet, trombone, occasional guitar
Lemmy Limbo – bass guitar
John Lenin- second guitar
Guust Kater – drums
Olaf the Viking – guitar
Vinz – percussion, guitar, banjo, keyboards
Mieke Vogelt – female backing vocals
BB Kinky – tenor sax
Some of these people still make music today:
C3A is a member of grindcore outfit Ulrike’s Dream and has his own
hiphop-project called Flahaut
Markies De Schade is a member of Highway.
Lemmy Limbo is a member of The Shovels.
Vinz is a member of Highway, has a solo career as a singer
songwriter and also plays in The Ideal Husband.
BB Kinky is involved in various projects, mostly in the jazz scene,
and currently enjoys mainstream success with The Isbells.
It was fun and it was relevant. For more information, visit the
