“Being together makes us less alone”, that’s what Eric Van den Broeck must have thought. The Belgian singer and songwriter has been known under the name „The Monotrol Kid“ since September 2008 and last year, he published his first album „What About The Finches“ as a solo-artist. Now the lonely life on tour is over. Erik Van den Broeck has found some of the most talented musicians of Belgium and has changed The Monotrol Kid into a new band. There is Philip Mathuis, on the drums and Indra Boone playing the guitar, and Nele Van den Broeck (who is not related to the head of the band in any way). She has been known in Belgium and Germany as Nele Needs A Holiday.
While the songs on Van den Broeck’s first album were still dreamy in a singer-songwriter style, the four songs on the EP “The Merchant”, which will be published in April, show a completely new side of “The Monotrol Kid”. Going more in the direction of Folk-Rock/Americana, and now played by a complete band, the songs become more powerful. In combination with Erik’s distinctive voice, they are similar to famous bands like R.E.M. or Wilco. This year, the new album „My Talk My Song“ by The Monotrol Kid will be published by the label „SONGS & WHISPERS“. Before that happens, you should see the band at one of their concerts. Their big tour takes The Monotrol Kid through Belgium and France and to Germany where they will show that they are a charismatic live-band. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
