Since its beginings in the city of Liège in 1999, The Experimental Tropic Blues Band have gained more & more support and interest from the public due to its wild stage antics and their raw blend of blues and rock’n’roll.
Great performers and entertainers, Dirty Coq (guitar, voice), Boogie Snake (guitar, voice) and Devil D’Inferno (drums) played hundreds of shows in every corner of Europe and in Noth America. They already shared the stage with acts like The Cramps, Bob Log III, Heavy Trash, JSBX, André Williams, The Soledad Brothers, Jay Reatard, The Black Lips, Jim Jones Review & many more!
After the release of one first E.P. ’Dynamite Boogie’, in 2005, and two LP’s, ’Hellelujah’ in 2007 and ’Captain Boogie’ in 2009, the combo recorded its 3rd album in NYC in March 2011, at Matt Verta Ray’s studio ( NY HED ), and Jon Spencer produced & mixed it.
Untitled ’Liquid Love’, this third L.P. will be available in Belgium in November 2011 (through JauneOrange/Excelsior/V2) and abroad in 2012. Discover right now the first song extract form this record: "The Best Burger, and it’s B-SIDE wich is a cover of "No Fun" (yes, The Stooges’ song). Those tracks are available on 7" (see our shop below) and donwload (Itunes -Bandcamp, and the other usual download platfrom...).

Liquid Love in the belgian press
Some press quotes from the belgian press about our new album:
"This lecherous ’Liquid Love’ is made up of true songs (...). The ’Tropics’ are free, confident, without complex and more experimental than ever: they hit hard. Very hard!" ***
Le Soir - November 2011
"It’s harsh, it rocks and it doesn’t show off (...) In a nutshell, when the band from Liège lets itself go, it hits the target. I loved it."
Bouli Lanners in Focus Vif - November 2011
"It’s one of the rock’n’rollest Belgian albums of all times. Liquid Love is an explosion. Liquid Love is a blast. If the Twin Towers were still there, the band would have had them fall " ****
Focus Vif - November 2011
"What makes this record beautiful is its imperfections. (...) The band is more consistent and has written, for the first time, some true songs (Can’t change, Keep this love, The Best burger) (...) A real record of real rock’n’ roll" ***
Moustique - 16 November 2011
"Liquid Love is outstanding (...) They will have you knocked-out whatever you may do (...) . This mind-blowing record will take your breath away (...) Liquid Love shows a huge work of finesse and research."
Shoot me again - November 2011
"I only have thirty seconds to tell you that the new album of TETBB is absolute dynamite! In one word, once in the player, their record sticks there."
RifRaf - November 2011
"Liquid Love is a bomb, a crazy association of blues and The Cramps, (...) a pure pleasure (...) One of the best albums of the year. It’s pure joy that has been harnessed in order to reach its point even better." 9.2/10
Little Reviews - November 2011
