Sounds Like: 1978.4 teenagers are influenced by the "punk-movement" coming from the UK. They start a band called "The Bungalows". Soon they change the name into Red Zebra, do some gigs, play support for The Cure and The Undertones and in 1980 they are in the finals of Belgium's well know rock-rally from the magazine 'Humo'. There they played 'I can't live in a living room' for the first time in front of an audience. The single became a massive hit, and the band started touring all over Belgium and Holland. In the early eighties some more singles and albums followed. The mini album 'Bastogne' is still known as a masterpiece!
1986 was a difficult time for Belgian bands and Red Zebra split up. Peter Slabbinck starts new bands like 'Boy Wonders', and 'De Lama's'. Geert Maertens and Johan Isselee start a band called 'His royal Fume'.
1990.The 3 original members gather together. They plan some reunion-gigs. It is a massive success and they decide to get back together! The goal is to write new songs and make new albums. New cd's follow, (Yes, already cd's), and with the album 'Don't put your head in a bucket', they have a new hit album!
2008.30 years have passed. Joined by new band members Sam Claeys and Chris Deneve, They record a live album in Leuven. The band is touring again! Will be continued...
