in the nineties, whilst the rest of the world argued over Nirvana vs. The Smashing Pumpkins / Pearl Jam / David Letterman, the people of Belgium argued over dEUS vs. Nirvana. the folk-prog rockers from Antwerp were that big. every band cited them as an influence, every kid who learned to play guitar thanked them for the inspiration, any gigger wished any show affirmed by their attendance. i guess i could vouch for this categorically for having, by a stroke of fate, spent a teensy bit of time in their adorable country at the turn of the decade. ('tis true about the fries and the chocolates.)
you have to love Wikipedia for being an encyclopedia that contains a phrase like "a bewildering array of influences" - in reference to the band's - "including Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, Big Star, Sonic Youth, Sun Ra and Mingus-style jazz, Leonard Cohen and the Velvet Underground".vocalist (and sometime guitarist) Tom Barman and guitarist (and sometime vocalist) Mauro Pawlowski (from the awesome if lesser-known Evil Superstars) had the classic rivalry such as parodied by Jason Lee and Billy Cruddup in Almost Famous. former bassist Stef Kamil Carlens (the one who got away) went on to form (the awesome if lesser-known) Moondog Jr. and Zita Swoon, and gained his own following. those were the stories told passionately by the fans. i, in the process, came to own all three of dEUS's albums (but not the fourth and latest) and would like to impart some favorite tunes here.on post, the song Roses (a.k.a. For the Roses) from the second album, In a Bar, Under the Sea (1996), produced by Captain Beefheart's Eric Drew Feldman.
