When someone in the UK says you're "Big in Belgium", they mean you think you are a big shot, but in fact you are nothing. Something like a big fish in a very very small pond.

Now I'm chauvinistic enough to think we have some great bands with great songs, regardless of our country's size. I've learned some great tracks via this thread, so now it's time to give back. I'm going to try to each week post one of our finest bands, made in Belgium. To make the transition easy, I'll start with the groups that sing in English.

I'm curious to see if you like it or not.

I'm going to start with Absynthe Minded, a rockband with a lot of jazz influences. Their 2 top songs (IMO) are Envoi and My Heroics, Part 1. Enjoy it...

First one not available in the US; second one sounded good.....

Replacements came out with an EP to raise money for Slim Dunlap who had a stroke:

Can't find it on video, so here's Gordon's version:

Glad you liked it: the atmosphere around that song is brilliantly done.

I tried another version of Envoi, hope this one works:
