Events – Belgian Independent Music Festival
Belgian music has always had a rich heritage and [sic] Magazine is proud to support its adopted homeland. Each year the two organisations of Dark Entries and Bodybeats join hands to end the year with a musical event that features the best of the alternative scene.
Due to its huge success, the organisation decided to make this year a double festival.
Day one, the BIM Pre-Fest you can witness Dark Poem (fairy tale electro from Belgium), Sixth June (minimal wave from Belgrade), Twice A Man (the legendary synthpopact from Sweden), Esplendor Geomettrico (the godfathers of the industrial scene) and electro-pioneers Portion Control . The first day will be closed with a DJ set that will feature Dive-frontman Dirk Ivens .
The day after we celebrate our BIMfest which this year sees Emotional Violence (minimal synth from Belgium), Din (A)Tod (German electro), Sturm Café (a must for Nitzer Ebb-heads), De Brassers (legendary Belgian post-punk band), Autodafeh (many times compared to Front 242), The Bollock Brothers (no introduction needed), the best punk band from Belgium ever The Kids , Laibach who will present a greatest hits set and final band will be the legendary DAF .
Apart from gigs there are lots of stalls from record dealers at where you can find the record you always wanted but never found.
