AARDVARK - EIKELS WORDEN BOMEN

  • Aardvark: Eikels Worden Bomen
        (2008, cd, Belgium, amigoes)
Belgian band Aardvark was singer/songwriter/guitarist Michel Goessens' and harmonica player Werner Dumez' project.
Next to Michel and Werner, (the deluxe edition of) the band featured Micha Vandendriessche (drums), Jorg D'Hondt (bass) and Jan Borré (piano, keyboard, vocals).

FZ’s ‘Joe’s Garage’ and ‘Catholic Girls’ were mentioned in the lyrics of ‘Blankenberge 1984’, a track that could be found on their “Eikels Worden Bomen” album.

Zij ros van haar en bleek van vel
Ik zot van Zappa, ja, dan weet je het wel
‘Joe’s Garage’ en ‘Catholic Girls’
(with Leather)
Ik zei “Yes, of course baby, I love you”
“Yes, of course baby, I swear I do”

The album had been on my want-list for quite a while.
15 tracks. Tiny, charming and melancholic stories, sung in Flemish dialect. 
And with a funny Zappa reference.
Very happy to have found a copy !
