Biografia

Absynthe Minded started as Absynthe Minded Quartet in 2002. The first band- demo was called “Sweet Oblivion” by the ‘Absynthe Minded Quartet’. (2002; gettin’ tired of the ego-trips, workin’ with a bunch of fuckin’ great musicians now, let’s get high). With the Quartet we played almost every bar in the country… members; Bert, Renaud, Jan Sergej 2nd demo; History Makes SciFi; in comes drummer Jakob Nachtergaele!

Our debut full length album Acquired Taste was released on that same Keremos label in 2004 and was produced by Geoffrey Burton and contains 14 songs.

New Day, our follow-up to the 2004 Acquired Taste was recorded in the end of januari 2005 and was produced by legendary producer Jean-Marie Aerts. After touring Belgium and the Netherlands, we recorded 16 songs and released the album in March in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.

With the succes of hit-single “my heroics, part one” Absynthe Minded starts touring like madmen and eventually signs a record-deal with Universal.

The first record on universal is called “There Is Nothing”. It’s a more up-front piece of art, with songs like “Stuck in Reverse” and “Let’s be Radical”.
