Kate's Acid
Blowing Your Ears Off
Acid, formed in Bruges in 1980 (and initially called Precious Page), are widely considered to have been one of the first speed metal bands on the European continent. Lead vocalist Kate de Lombaerd, guitarists Dirk Simoens (Dizzy Lizzy) and Donald Devers (Demon), bassist Peter (T-Bone) and drummer Geert (Anvill) recorded three highly regarded albums for Giant Records - 'Acid' (1983), 'Maniac' (1983) and 'Engine Beast' (1985) - before breaking up sometime in the mid-'80s. In 2019, Kate de Lombaerd decided to resurrect the band and eventually got together with Mathieu Trobec (bass), Gilles Reuse (guitar), Andreas Stieglitz (guitar) and Bastiaan Andriessen (drums) under the name of Kate's Acid. They appeared live at 'Keep It True Rising' in 2021 and once again at 'Keep It True' in 2023, where the current live album, aptly called 'Blowing Your Ears Off,' was recorded.
