Here BeauBeau talks about everything and nothing, about the work done by the not-for-profit organisation - why, who, where & how.
Always in pink & blue...
Maxime Lê Hung is one of those energies that built our activities. This is why we’d like you to read the message below and as a symbol, maybe, transfer one euro (or 5) on the account of the not-for-profit association Matamore : 523-0802326-17...
Last friday & for the second time, some neighbours of mine stole 5000 euros of microphones, laptop, soundcard, multracks, modem, speakers, etc. That’s why I’m now forced to stop the activities of the Schip (Molenbeek) where lots of musicians gave memorable prestations*.
So if you enjoyed one of the gigs I’ve put on (@Compilothèque, Quarantaine, Marché BeauBeau, Chapelle de Boendael etc.), if you still love the "Matamore" label, please transfer one euro on the account of the not-for-profit association Matamore : 523-0802326-17...
The struggle goes on !

Bonjour à toutes/tous,
Vendredi dernier, quelques heures avant le concert des trois songwriters, mes chers voisins de la téci d’à côté ont profité d’une courte absence de ma part pour défoncer ma porte et faire un peu de nettoyage par le vide. Enceintes, retours, table, micros, guitare, laptop, carte son, enregistreur multi-pistes, écran, modem, vélo, etc. J’ai été délesté de près de 5000 euros de matériel en moins d’une heure. Le concert du soir a malgré tout été maintenu et les musiciens ont livré une prestation mémorable dans ces conditions un peu particulières...
Par la force des choses, suite à ce deuxième K.O. technique en moins d’un an, je me vois dans l’obligation d’arrêter définitivement l’organisation de concerts au Schip.
De ce fait, je voudrais remercier tous les musiciens qui sont passés par mon salon et toutes les personnes qui m’ont fait le plaisir de venir les écouter. Nous avons vécu ensemble pas mal d’instants magiques, mais aussi quelques moments plus tristes, tels les ultimes concerts de Jack Rose, Raymondo et Soy Un Caballo.
Si vous avez apprécié les concerts au Schip, ainsi que tous les autres que j’ai organisés un peu partout (à la Compilothèque, chez Quarantaine, au Marché BeauBeau, à la Chapelle de Boendael et bien d’autres), si vous aimez toujours les disques et groupes du label Matamore et/ou si vous pensez que j’ai pu vous être utile de quelque manière que ce soit durant ces dix années d’activisme musical, vous pouvez afficher votre soutien en versant un euro symbolique sur le compte de l’asbl Matamore : 523-0802326-17
Malgré les avaries, la lutte continue et, camarades, je vous donne rendez-vous ce jeudi à 20h au DNA pour un concert de mon groupe, Hoquets, et de nos amies nantaises de Sylvie Va T’en (prix libre).
A très bientôt, Maxime
Yeehie !
3 new members in the BeauBeau team : the sensuality of Sophie Martin to answer the phone ; the promptness of Valérie Laroche to build treehouses ; & the nederlandstalig Paul Govaerts to, well, make our genius bilingual.
Seriously, check the sky : can’t you see a new BeauBeau on the horizon ? Details as soon as, etc.
