Biografía de Triggerfinger

Belgium has given the world some fantastic music, including this band “Triggerfinger” who were formed in 1998, in the city of Lier. They are fronted by Ruben Block on guitar and vocals, Paul Van Bruystegem on bass guitar and Mario Goossens on the drums.

Despite forming in 1998, it was a steady climb for the band that finally released their debut eponymous full-length studio album on January 26th 2004 on Green L.F ant Records. It is an album that takes the shape of a hard rock sound fused with blues. The band led with the singles “Inner Peace” and then later released a song called “Camaro”, which showcases a guitar riff that took inspiration from Led Zeppelins, “Kashmir”. The band released the sophomore album “Faders Up” on March 12th 2007, which was a live concert recorded in Antwerp in Belgium. It featured cover versions of “Nothing Achieving” originally by The Police, “Boris the Spider” originally by The Who, “Angelene” originally by PJ Harvey and “Father of Night” originally by Bob Dyland.

The band’s second studio album “What Grabs Ya?” released on February 25th 2008 was a slight rut for the band, which failed to chart, and didn’t achieve much popularity despite the band’s best efforts. Triggerfinger however, made a comeback on November 12th 2010, with their album “All This Dancin’ Around” which was recorded in California. This fortunately put the band back on the map achieving an adequate amount of success. The following year, they embarked on a tour with the band Within Temptation. The band’s success started to grow, when on December 8th 2012, they won four Belgian Music Industry Awards for hit of the year, best group, best alternative music and best live-act. They supported the infamous Rolling Stones on July 6th 2013, in the Summer time Festival in Hyde Park, London.

On April 18th 2014, the band released their fourth studio album “By Absence of the Sun”, leading with the single “Perfect Match”

Críticas en vivo

The first thing that I noticed being in the crowd at Pinkpop for Triggerfinger was the mustache of the singer. He had a great stache and had a great voice that matched that as he began to play the music. I was headbanging as the band began to play.

The lights were dark at first but as the singer came to the stage the lights lit up and all of the people around me in the crowd held up their hands and screamed. There was a big red wall that was behind the band and the black lights kept pulsing. Every time the drummer would make a cool beat on his drums the lights would flash on him.

The sound of the singers voice was very good and sounded just as good as it does on the album. As the band continued to play I was jumping up and down and waving my hands. Everyone around me was dancing like crazy and pushing around as the band continued to play their set.

The lights were flashing and going crazy as the band ended each song and at the end of the song the singer would even switch instruments. When he did this I was amazed that there are so many different instruments at hand. I felt great that I was able to see the band live.
