T RED - PARTIE 1984 / 1985

LP

Another lost Belgian cult classic is finally crawling out of the shadows.

Formed in Balen, Belgium in 1981, T-Red emerged when high-school outsiders Paul Dierckx and Rudi Maes bonded over New Wave music. With Frank Geys on bass and later Walter Seigers behind the drum kit, the band quickly carved out a reputation through relentless gigs across the country.

In 1984, T-Red recorded an 4-track promo tape titled “PARTIE” at Galaxy Studios in Mol. Shelved. Forgotten. Until now.
Unearthed by the band in 2024, these recordings have been carefully restored and remastered, finally seeing their first-ever vinyl release, 40 years after the tape stopped spinning. To make it even better, we’ve added an 8-track demo from 1985, turning this into a 12-track document of a band frozen in time.

Dark. Melodic. Hypnotic. Built for dancing in smoke-filled rooms at 3 a.m.

This is Belgian Post-Punk / New Wave the way it was meant to be heard — beautiful, rare, and long overdue.
