Dark Entries is proud to shed light on underground Belgian New Wave pioneers, SIC, with the career-spanning release Thought Noises. SIC were a post-punk band from the industrial city of Charleroi in the francophone part of Belgium. They were formed by FRANCIS POURCEL, ALAIN NEFFE (BENE GESSERIT), MICHELINE DUFERT, and MARIO BERCHICCI in 1977. Francis and Alain had previously played with Krautrock band KOSMOSE in the mid `70s. In 1978 Alain left the group to launch the cassette label Insane Music. The new trio released their debut 7" "Voltage Control" in 1979 on Artibano Records. By 1980 Mario left and was replaced by a Korg KR-55 drum machine. As a duo, SIC self-released the "Cover Girls Smile"/ "Between" 7" in 1980, which was played by John Peel on Radio 1 in London. Unable to replicate the studio sounds for live concerts, the duo recruited three additional musicians, WILHELM DUNKER (bass), HENRY KRUTZEN (saxophone) and DANIELE DAOUST (synthesizer). In 1981 their final 7" single, "Free Radio Stations" was self-released and the band recorded a demo tape to help secure live gigs. SIC continued to play live over the next two year but eventually broke up in 1983.A1 Voltage Control A2 Never Talk About Romance A3 Between A4 Cover Girls Smile A5 Free Radio Stations A6 Absence B1 Thought Noises B2 Between B3 New Rose In Town B4 Inner Time B5 Voltage Control B6 Look For The Chorus
