Release Notes:
Ghinzu is a pop/rock band founded in 1999 in
Brussels, Belgium.
The band released its first album, Electronic
Jacuzzi in late 2000 on their own label Dragoon.
Their sound is a kind of noisy rock, supported by a
big and groovy rhythmic and some electronic touches
while their subject matters are, among others, sex,
partying, and drugs. The album was only released in
Belgium and sold enough at least to make another
one.
Their second LP, Blow, was released in February
2004 in Belgium. Things started to take off for
Ghinzu at that time, with a sold out gig at the
Ancienne Belgique in Brussels with fellow bands
Girls in Hawaii and Sharko and an album release in
France, Switzerland, Germany and Scandinavia in
September. Blow was a success, especially in
Belgium and France. In June 2005, Ghinzu sold out
the mythic Olympia music hall in Paris, followed by
concerts around Europe. They also played with Iggy
& The Stooges in a Festival in France, Iggy Pop
telling them after their gig: "You guys rock!". In
the end, about 100,000 copies of Blow have been
sold across Europe.
In November 2005, due to popular demand, their
first album was re-issued with a different
tracklisting.
In 2006, the band wrote and recorded the soundtrack
for the movie Irina Palm (directed by Sam Garbarski
and starring Marianne Faithfull) which received a
critical success at the Berlin Film Festival in
February 2007. Their song "Blow" was used as
closing track for the 2006 movie "Ex-Drummer", by
Koen Mortier (based on a novel by Belgian writer
Herman Brusselmans).
Their song "The Dragster-Wave" from the album Blow,
is played over the end credits of the film Taken,
as well as featuring in the film's trailer.
Ghinzu's third album, entitled Mirror Mirror, was
released on March 30 2009.
