At the age of 15 I started writing some lyrics. The first one I wrote was No Future. That was 1981. From there on together with Danny Garmijn I started Dance Of Death. In 1982 Danny moved to another genre but his brother Franky entered the band. The name changed to Sisters Sex Haus. Mainly Franky and I were making music but at some point Glenn Rotsaert and Yves Beaumont joined the band. Glenn left after a year to play in other bands like Thin Line Men, Revenge 88 and Marky Ramone. Yves Beaumont moved further to become a painter. Around 1987 the band disolved into The Sons Of Eveline, again Franky and myself. 2 songs were recorded but the same year I jumped into a pop band together with my neighbour Nancy Zwaenepoel. But school, and joining the army resulted in stopping making music. It was in 1992 at work that I came across Guido Bos (ex Siglo XX). From there on we formed Wild Green Fiendy Liquid. But in 1996 it ended being both fed up with guitars. In 2000 when computers became more important into making music Guido and I formed Joy Luck Club. From pop to experimental to industrial to pure house and techno. What a ride it was. But in 2004 we stopped the band and were thinking of picking up the guitars again. 2005 until now we formed Under A Purple Sky. Resulting in pure Goth. In 2006 the first single Embrace resulted in a club hit and can still be heard on Goth radio Cathedral 13. Strobelight Records were promoting the genre and the New Dark Age compilations were a massive success in the genre. We were lucky to be on number 3. From there on the name became well known resulting on other compilations and even been seen in books. What a ride...
