GORE SLUT

newsflash from the Jezus Factory Webshop:

Something we have been ITCHING to tell you about... Heyme Langbroek, Kiss My Jazz saxophonist and Heavenhotel and Jezus Factory website designer extraordinaire found some live CD's in his loft... Amongst them was this recording from the legendary Gore Slut that was too good not to release; so we spoke to Rudy and decided upon this limited co-release between Heavenhotel and Jezus Factory... Strictly limited to 100 cassettes with download and exclusive new Rudy Trouvé artwork available in our webshop or bandcamp if you prefer or in a few days via heavenhotel as the official release date is 8th December...

Gore Slut were, Jacki Billet, bass– Dirk Belmans, drums – Rudy Trouvé, guitar and vocal – Thomas Noppe, guitar

Founded in 1992, like so many heavenhotel bands in the cellar of heavenhotel, the house where Rudy, Jacki and Bassie lived. First record released in 1996 (These Days Are The Quiet Kind). Followed by a second in 1998 (Above The Lisa Drugstore). Third and ‘final’ one in 2001 (Girl + Turtles).

Gore Slut played traditional alternative guitar rock in the style of Dinosaur Jr, Yo la tengo, Sonic Youth, Jonathan Richman and Motorpsycho. Dark and introvert lovesongs, covered in a wall of noise.

This could have been where the story ended, but Heyme Langebroek of Kiss My Jazz was clearing his loft and found a dusty box of CD’s containing this live recording from 1997. He sent the box to Andrew from the sychophantic sympathetic UK Belgian friendly label Jezus Factory. After being blown away by several of the contents he messaged the ever busy Rudy Trouvé and he said ok to a co-release with his own label Heavenhotel.

A limited cassette of 100 copies and unlimited download felt like the way to go and what follows could be the first in an archive release series of classic heavenhotel bands…
