About Me

THE BLACK BOX REVELATION are a totally â€œfreshâ€ rock-sensation indeed, but duo Jan (songs, guitars & voice) & Dries (drums) are â€œold soulsâ€ too, with roots in the blues and the sixties. The two friends from Brussels started playing together as â€œThe Mighty Generatorsâ€ when they were only 12 and 14 years old, kicked out their bass player, became The Black Box Revelation and soon arrived second in Belgiumâ€™s influential â€œRock Rallyâ€ contest in 2006. The EP â€œIntroducing the Black Box Revelationâ€, released in the spring of 2007 and supported by a mean & funny videoclip for â€œKill For Peace (And Peace Will Die)â€, resulted in lots of small club-gigs with the band continuously getting tougher and better, which climaxed in invitations for the big open-air festivals of Dour and Pukkelpop during the summer of 2007. Jan & Dries then started recording their debut-album â€œSet Your Head On Fireâ€, produced by Triggerfinger drummer Mario Goossens, mixed in LA by Greg Gordon (Wolfmother, Jet, Soulwax) and mastered in NYC by Fred Kevorkian (Iggy Pop, U2, White Stripes). The press unanimously loved the album, with the single â€œI Think I Like Youâ€ rapidly climbing to the top of the radio-charts. On stage The Black Box Revelation is a runaway train, combining the best ingredients of idols like Led Zeppelin, The Datsuns, The Rolling Stones, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Stooges.
