about

Dead Belgian's nine track album Age of The Idiot available as a download via our Bandcamp page from 5th May and as a CD on the SDB label from 5th June, which happens to be the first day of the tour !

All are reworkings of Jacques Brel songs except for the instrumental January Waltz which is a Matthew Wood original. Age of The Idiot is a Simon James / Jo Moss translation that's been part of the DB repertoire since 2011.
