This week. Different years. Same band. 30 years on stage. Brussels based. Jaune Toujours.
Some weeks glow warm. Stage lights like sunsets. Dust in the air, sound hanging low.
2002–2003 Opwijk. Kortrijk. Gent. Rooms filling. Songs finding their weight.
2004 Schaerbeek. Halles. Barricade. Release night. Light spills orange. Everything feels possible.
2005 Louvrange. Oostende. Between cities. Between tides.
2009 Brussels. Ancienne Belgique. Kolektiv. A bigger room. Same urgency.
2014 Ouagadougou. Gent. Cars, terraces, stages improvised. Music crossing heat and distance.
2017 Ouagadougou again. Returning with deeper roots. Playing with, not just for.
2020 Laken. A window. A message: “Keep safe & sound.” Balconies become lifelines.
2021 Molenbeek. Streaming the room outward. Choux-Fest through cables and screens.
From orange stage light to red earth nights.
Different places. Same week, stretched across time. We don’t archive the past. We carry it. Still playing.
Still moving. Still open to the next room.
Community event with the Choux de Bruxelles community to the solo exhibition of photographer and drummer Théophane Raballand at gallery A57 in Saint-Gilles.

This week. Different years. Same band. 30 years on stage. Brussels based. Jaune Toujours.
Some weeks travel far. Others circle back home.
2001–2002 Zandvliet. Eindhoven. Ieper. Early roads. Gear in the back. Future still unwritten.
2004 Brussels rooftops. Ici BXL. A city dancing between takes. Extras, neighbours, a child in the foreground. Life entering the frame.
2009 Strasbourg. Printemps des Bretelles. Bellows breathing across borders.
2011 Leuven. A square becomes a stage.
2014 Ouagadougou. Concrete stages. School yards. Night bars. Music learning new accents. Listening as much as playing.
2016 Brussels. After the attacks. Radio waves carrying something fragile. Holding space.
2017 Ouagadougou again. Returning is different from arriving.
2019 Brussels. Tour de France departure. Crowds like currents.
2020 Balconies. Distance, but not silence.
2022 Peace demo. Flags, voices, breath together.
2023 Blankenberge. Union stage. Songs among workers.
2025 Germany. Moers. Lübeck. Bremerhaven. New rooms. Same pulse.
From rooftops to red dust. From radio studios to street corners.
Different places. Same week, stretched across time. We don’t archive the past. We carry it. Still playing. Still moving. Still open to the next room.

(Part 2/2) This week. Different years. Same band. 30 years on stage. Brussels based. Jaune Toujours.
Some weeks are roads. Airports. Backstages. Coffee poured next to a van.
2002 Opwijk. Backstage. Sousaphone, laughter, time to spare.
2012 Hungary. Megaphone open. Accordion wide. Cities passing by the window.
2013 Lithuania. Soundchecks. Airports. Moments before and after the stage.
2019 London. BBC Radio 3. Setting up. Quiet hands before the red light.
2020 Balcony sessions. The world paused. Songs still moving.
2013 Back to the studio. Routes being recorded. Notes finding their place. Different roads. Same pulse.
Different places. Same week, stretched across time. We don’t archive the past. We carry it. Still playing. Still moving. Still open to the next room.

[Part 1/2] This week. Different years. Same band. 30 years on stage. Brussels based. Jaune Toujours.
Some weeks are stages. Crowds packed in tight. Lights up. Brass in the air.
2002 Brussels. Beurschouwburg Bis. Camping Del Mundo. Sold out before the first note.
2006 Ancienne Belgique. cluB recorded live. Sweat. Breath. Bodies moving as one.
2009 Brussels. Under a railway bridge. A press photo by iconic photographer Stephan Vanfleteren.
2019 London. BBC Radio 3. Guest passes. Studio silence. Music travelling through air again.
2020 Balcony sessions. Doors closed everywhere. Songs finding their way outside.
Different places. Same week, stretched across time. We don’t archive the past. We carry it. Still playing. Still moving. Still open to the next room.
First single of the forthcoming album, out on March 27.
Oufti: a small word carrying strong emotional weight, much like the composition itself.
Embroidered on wool, just as the music is stitched with quarter-tones and improvisations.
