ENGLISH: In December 2004, 3 quys named Matthias, Sindji and Lukas started a band called “The Pickupsâ€. Two guitars and a bass is not a complete band so they went searching for a guy with rhythm and a singer. First, Mats (with a fine sense for show) joined the band! Later Floris (no drummer, but a sax-player who gave the band an original touch) joined the band. And then: finally we found a straight drummer in person of Matte! In 2005 we started to play at little gigs or just on the street. Six band members was not enough so Keyboard wizard Philippe joined the band as the seventh band member! The band was now complete and later on they decided to call themselves TRAFFIC SIGN. In the early days TS played covers of instant Rock classics but during their hard en straining repetitions “own†songs were made. In September 2005 they played at a local cover competition named DRCC, they won and their prize was to record their own songs at the Rockfabriek in Brussels. The band began to receive success and they started to think about their style, show and costumes. In January 2007 they organised a big second birthday gig with guest performances of Wim Punk ( The Wolf banes). This concert was a big success! The day after they went to Houthalen to play at the music contest “Musicliveâ€. They made a big impression on the jury and they were allowed to go to the semi-final and later the final! They also won the publics prize at Willrock demobattle 2007. In july 2007 they wnt to the LUNA BARN studio in Ternat to record their second Mini-CD. Yes, The future looks bright in Traffic Sign.
