vocals : hans deboeck

We found Hans back in '94 in his natural biotope: in a local café watching a bluesgig. He was standing at the counter, shouting along with the singer, and he was singing better than the poor guy on stage.

"Great voice, man!"
"Thanks."
"How about joining our band?"
"If you play the Blues: right away!"

Et voilà, we had a singer.

The musician

What makes Hans so special as a singer, is his perfect sense of timing, and his musical feel. Play a wrong note, or one note a fraction late, and he's heard it. Make the same mistake again, and he will play it for you, no matter what instrument you play.

Only on stage he feels at home, and he's got the crowd on his side at almost every gig we do. Having fun when playing music is one thing, but letting the people feel that you're having fun is another one: no problem for Hans, you'll be singing along before you know it.

Aside from some hundred gigs with Bad Luke, Hans has many years of experience on stage, with bands like Why (rock), Collective Unconscious (during his stay in the USA), Impuls (including CD recordings and openers for Belgian rockers Scabs and Walter Grootaers), Shait, and a-capella with The Donuts.

Hans Deboeck, Boekinesian nationality, born in 1965, shoe size 42,5 (that's Belgian shoesize by the way), hairlength 5 mm (on 29/03/97 at least), is a specimen of the extraverted kind (understatement of the year), which is of course an advantage if you're a singer. Big mouth, but a heart of gold. Proud owner of a Harley Davidson since 1999.

His musical taste is very rock-oriented: Jon Bon Jovi, Johnny Rotten, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, Ten Years After etc.
As for blues, his (current) favorites are The Radio Kings, and he'll never refuse a good dose of Hollywood Fats, Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers, or his all-time-favorite: Jack Daniels !
