AB is one of five venues in the center of Brussels to host the Fifty Lab music festival for three days from Wednesday, November 16th to Friday, November 18th. The Fifty Lab music festival team presents a programme with exciting showcases of promising Belgian artists as well as international upcoming artists. One ticket to Fifty Lab grants you access to all concerts.

Here’s what you’ll discover in the AB Club during the second night of Fifty Lab.  

Sister Ray

If you like Art Moore or Jane Inc. you are gonna love Sister Ray. Their presence on stage is magnetic. Sister Ray’s music is steeped in a wide range of cultural influences. The result is an unyielding, spacious, and commanding form of indie rock, rooted in the folk tradition, that transforms unvarnished, interior reflections into a generous public offering.

MICHELLE

Born-and-bred New Yorkers, MICHELLE formed in 2018 around their celebrated debut album HEATWAVE. Through sharing the sacred space of meals and the secret space of dreams, the predominantly POC and queer collective presents a picture of a band enthralled by their craft, a group capable of melding six unique perspectives and backgrounds into one cohesive, impressive collection. In January 2022, their album AFTER DINNER WE TALK DREAMS was the result of that collaboration. If you need a point of comparison, Orion Sun, Tim Atlas and Hope Tala are similar to their music. 

Omni Selassi (CH) PRESENTED BY B-SIDES (CH)

Omni Selassi strikes up for musical doom. And nothing is ever going to be the same again: Dissociation and dissection, symbiotic, androgynous, kaleidoscopically polytox. Their work is a journey in a rocket (high up / highest), a submarine (deep down / deepest), a freight train- always moving. Eventually they ignite themselves, immerse in spiritus, the rug is on fire and smoke spreads out, filling the whole space, with the sky as a roof. Two drums on vocals, a lot of electroacoustic twisting, sometimes lashing, sometimes boisterous. Call it: Superflux Tribe vs. Bubblegum Drone. Kraut. Punk. Levitate.
