Vlas Vegas Records is a Kortrijk based, alternative music label. The genres of our bands is kind of wide.
We just want to support those bands who get no opportunities to release a record.
If you think you're one of those bands that fit our profile and you want to send us some kind of email with your myspace adress or a demo, please read our demo policy notes carefully.

The Guernica. Since 2006 until the end of everything. Handsome young men from the 'burbs of Brussels. They play indie trance, but it sells better to describe them as avant rock, associating them with bands as Blonde Redhead or Unwound. However, people can and have heard bands like Pavement, American Football, early Trail of Dead, Hood, 90's Sonic Youth, late Fugazi and lots of other indie untouchables in the sound which remains their own.
A sound with lots of interlocking, arpeggiated and melodic guitars, with varying intensity which keeps them interesting, and a hidden complexity which keeps them relatively accessible. This is a band for both the Madonna and the Minor Threat fan. They're not revolutionary, they're just great. They are in the world and so are you. Their debut EP is the most eagerly anticipated record of the otherwise mondaine year 2007. Ceci n'est pas une exagération! A first lp will be recorded in 2008 and will be tentatively released at the end of that same year. In the meantime, they play to live and live to play.
Guernica:The Michael is all over the guitar and tries not to sound like Ian Curtis, Wixel does a mean Fast Finger Freddy on the gtr, Stino aims at the underbelly of females (and occassionally tries not to sound like a pop punk prince) and Nilo gets back to his African roots looking all cute and cuddly with sticks in his hands.
