Whatever!

About Me

Agent Orange is me, Steven Zwaenepoel, an independent artist & production manager. I provide artists mostly as tourmanager and production manager. And sometimes as manager. Lucky for you, I don't try to play any instrument (hmmm maybe sometimes air-guitar). ;-) Through the years I've been working with: Shaggy Dog Story (Fr), Cunzi (B), dEUS (B), STIJN (B), Absynthe Minded (B), Stash (B), Sioen (B), Fixkes (B), This Beautiful Mess (Nl), Lionhaert Brothers (No), KraKow (B), Blackstrap (No), Kapitein Winokio (B), Bossaball (B / Sp), Sarah Bettens (B / US), Andalucia Personal (B / Sp),Bherman (B / UK), For The Chosen Few (Fr.), Woven Hand (U.S.),... I've been working also for Nijdrop (B, oldest & still coolest club), Suikerrock (B), Festival De Mart (B, R.I.P.), Gonzo Circus (B, nice mag), Blue Note Records Festival (B, great jazz festival in Ghent), Kick Artist Service, D-Rent, I Love Techno, Soulwax-Mas, ... If you need some information, don't hesitate to get back.Right now focusing on: GENERAL MINDY (B.) (splendid indie-rock from Belgium), FOR THE CHOSEN FEW (Fr.) (nice mix of slowcore & postrock) & ATLANTIS (Nl.) (excellent postrock & sludge metal)! Check that out!

My Interests

Music & sports (especially kayak, Bossaball, soccer, climbing, snowboarding),... and of course more but that ain't interesting. Well, what is interesting at all? Depends on your own interest.
