In this section, we hook you up with a short introduction of every band of the line up and some interesting bandlinks...

FUNTIME FESTIVAL 2009 - DAY ONE - 25TH OF SEPTEMBER

CARNEIA 19.15-19.45
Is a young and fresh band out of West-Vlaanderen, who just delivered a magnificent debut album 'white coma light' on Offerandum records.
Modern metal in the blender with some postcore influences and elements of progressive rock/metal. The astonishing result is found somewhere inbetween Soundgarden, Tool and Channel Zero. Be sure to be on time the first day of the funtime fest!

BLACK HEART REBELLION 20.10-20.45
Talking about 'sludgemetal' or 'postcore' in Belgium quickly leads you to Amen Ra (who headlined the first day of last year's funfest edition), but there are a whole lot more interesting bands in our tiny country.
BHR is ons of them. They've made a reputation of their own the last couple of years with their well balanced mix of postrock and postcore, spiced up with melodic elements. No need to say this will be a great set.

P N 21.10-21.45
PN recently released their 7th full length album 'From What Rivers Have to Offer' on funtime records. An album that shows what this band is capable of...melting a wide range of influences (from postmetal and postrock to indiepop) into one solid and complete set of songs. The press reviews are impressive and you can expect the same of their live set, cause that's when the band is at their best!

TOMAN 22.10-22.55
Originally started up as a almost complete instrumental postrock outfit, Toman slowly grew into a band that's presenting something of their own.
Their latest effort is a concept album with beautiful artwork and one complete song that's divided in different pieces/chapters. The result is a listening experience that invites you to listen over and over again and constantly discover new things. The band has played numerous festivals and will surprise friends and enemies on funfest.

CIRCLE 23.20-...
This 21st century rock'n roll machine will be riding hard one very last time on FUNTIME FESTIVAL. Circle did split up years ago, but played one reunion show some months ago. They are not planning to get it all started again, because all members are very busy with other projects and involved in other bands (like Customs f.e.) But they wanted to give ONE VERY LAST AND FINAL SALUTE and no better way to do so then playing funtime fest. Cause Funtime Records is where it all started for Circle and we promise you this is going to be one hell of a show to remember.
So spin that old records, exercise those moves and singalongs and get your asses to de Klinker to make this something for the 'history' records...

VERSA 14.25-14.55

FACE THE FAX 15.20-15.50
When you mix fun with fastforward punkrock and some catchy tunes, you'll end up somewhere in the Face The Fax alley. They recently recorded a new album (which is set for release on kickass records in october), so you can expect a healthy mix of old and new punkrocktunes! No need to ask 'where's the party'?!

SLUDGE PHENOMENON 16.15-16.45
Technical, complex, grooving and intense, that's what one can expect from Sludge Phenomenon. On their recent split cd with Helldozer, they delivered their best songs to date and no doubt they will also pull this live!!! Metalheads, bang your head!!!

BREAK OF DAY 17.10-17.50
One of the punkrock pearls out of the flourishing Aarschot punkrock scene. Passionate, melodic, fastforward and dedicated. No doubt they will make you set the pit on fire!

TENEMENT KIDS 18.20-19.00
Rocking , raw, honest punk meets indierock. Somewhere along the lines of bands like Leatherface, Gaslight Anthem, Hot Water Music. With their splendid live show, TK have played a whole lot of festivals and clubs the last couple of years, including Groezrock, AB and more, so be sure you'll check out their set.

VICTIMS OF SOCIETY 19.30-20.20
Back on track for 3 exclusive shows after their split about 5 years ago. The first of the 3 reunion shows in their hometown Heist-op-de-Berg was an absolute blast and we're pretty sure the kids will sing the classics once again at the funtime fest! "Trust has gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
