Dark and gloomy sounds from the Wild West with great passion and a touch of joy.
HONEYMOON COWBOYS is a Belgian band formed by Antonio Palermo (guitar) and Klaas Hoogerwaard (drums), both ex-Siglo XX, together with Tom Van Troyen (vocals), Kris Dries (bass, guitar),Thomas François (keyboards, piano) and Patrick Dubois (bass, guitar, keyboards).
SIGLO XX is still one of the most renown Belgian New Wave/Cold-Wave bands of the 80’s who soon, after the release of theirs first 7″ ‚Individuality‘, gathered a strong following in and outside Belgium. With their atmospheric, yet energetic live shows and dark sounding vocals they quickly earned themselves a real cult-status. After several releases on the Belgian renowned label Antler Records they signed to PIAS (Play It Again Sam) releasing 3 more albums. However, after their last studio album ‘Under a Purple Sky’ in 1989 the band became inactive. Since, most of their releases became hard to find collector items.
Today, more than 25 years later, Siglo XX ex-members formed HONEYMOON COWBOYS. Dark rock sounds, with a gloomy touch due to the piano/ synth makes a direct bond with the latest period of Siglo XX. As if HONEYMOON COWBOYS has pursued the legacy where Siglo XX stopped it. With screeching guitars, pounding bass and drums, melodic keyboards and strong vocals.
