Black Cassette started with Sjoerd Bruil recording music on his 4track cassette machine surrounded by mice and coffee in an attic room in Antwerp, Belgium. 2006 saw the birth of Black Cassette, a rock combo. There are three of us and we play music that consists of elements of Blues, Beefheart, Prince and the occasional tearjerker. °° Black Cassette is: Jeroen Stevens (from ILoveSarah) on drums, vocals and Pascal Deweze (Sukilove) on bass, vocals, complemented by Sjoerd on guitar and vocals. °° In addition to this, we have a secret band called Mammals (which also features Helder Deploige). Furthermore, all three of us play in a group called Pawlowski, headed by a man named Mauro. And, of course, Sjoerd and Pascal also play in Sukilove (Pascal's group). In the past, Sjoerd has provided music for two short dance performances and two short films. One featured a girl walking through the woods guided by a pink thread and the other, made by Blonde, featured a girl driving a Jaguar through the wind.
