Das Pop
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Das Pop are a band founded in the Belgian town of Ghent by schoolfriends Reinhard Vanbergen, Niek Meul and Bent Van Looy. They were initially called Things to come, but changed later their name to Das Pop.
In 2007 the line-up evolved with the addition of drummer Matt Eccles, a 23 year old from New Zealand. Shortly after Eccles joined the band they played a showcase at Manchester's In The City music industry conference and were then signed by Sony BMG imprint Ugly Truth Records.
In 2007 Das Pop's song Underground was included by French dance act Justice on their mix album Fabric Live.
In January 2008 Das Pop released "Fool For Love" on UK independent label Prestel Records. The release featured remixes from French DJ SebastiAn and Yuksek, which the Culture section of UK newspaper The Sunday Times said "the momumental new single from the Belgian electro band".
Das Pop are currently recording their first album for Sony BMG which is being produced by David and Stephen Dewaele from Soulwax. It is planned to be released in summer 2008. They have a considerable fanbase in Europe.
Fool For Love and Tired by Das pop can be heard in the Bebo Program Sofia's diary.
Das Pop recently just played at Rockness Music Festival in Scotland and were a huge success.
