Barbie Bangkok Part 1



Barbie Bangkok Part 2



Somewhere in the Indian Summer of 2002 Barbie Bangkok made their live debut.



Right away, their innovating songs stole the hearts of many. The Ghent-based

label Kinky Star was impressed enough to release their first EP (which contained

such singles as ’Roll Rockin’’ and ’Oh My God’) and that same year the band

reached the finals of Humo’s Rock Rally, Belgium’s legendary band contest

which also served as the starting point of such bands as dEUS, Evil Superstars

and Das Pop.



After all this, the group decided to focus on the next important step: writing and

recording their debut album. They found the right man for the job in Frans

Hagenaars, a Dutch producer who began his career in the 90’s and produced

such records as ’Palomine’ by Bettie Serveert. Recording sessions began at the

start of 2007 and soon enough the band and Hagenaars had rounded up and

crystallized 13 songs - enough to form a strong debut album which was

christened ’People and Geometry’. The album is filled with catchy songs, groovy

pop-rock with a healthy dose of humour which reminds one of They Might be

Giants, early Bowie and Talking Heads in their prime, while at the same time

keeping their feet firmly in the here and now.



Now, more than ever, Barbie Bangkok is ready for the real stuff. The first single

’People & Geometry’ has been received with positive acclaim. It is time again to

reclaim the stage.
