Band
In 2000 a new band was born. What started out as a High School band formed by some friends soon changed into a real hardrock band with high ambitions. The audience from the first show realized this wasn't your average band. This band is dangerous... and its music should not be taken lightly... The bands Hardrock-fuck-off-mentality brings back thoughts of older bands like Guns 'n Roses, Motörhead, AC/DC, etc...
With the heavymetal sound in the voice of Wim "The Madman" D'Hondt , drums like thunder provided by Pieter "The Worm" Van Den Ede, the gut-thrilling baselines by Tim "Baseman" Van De Maele, the hardrocking riffs by Tom "Tommygun" De Lat, and the low down-'n-dirty guitarplaying by Kim "Solo" D'Hondt, the band is sure to blow you away every time.
Now, 10 years later, the band has over 500 concerts on their ever growing list, 3 studio albums (of which one recorded in London), a management contract with the famous Music Europe who call Experienced?!? "The Revelation of the Belgian stage" , a live MTV-appearance , an international European tour and an evergrowing urge to push the limits even further. They've shared the stage with other international bands like Grimus from Romania and Skitsoy from Belgium (This last band got defeated by Experienced?!? in the international rockrally Emergenza). During all of this they still managed to find the time to put together a project with the young band Xink! to help traumatized children.
The band is especially known for their insane live-shows during which they possess an energy unmatched by any other band. The show they played in the Hard Rock Café in Bucharest, Romania, was filmed by MTV and got great reviews in the Romanian National Press. In fact, it was such a success that the band got the opportunity to record a radio-friendly-version of their song Limo-Sino-Car which got aired on national radio! The only time the band was calm on stage was when they played an acoustic set for the world-famous folk-festival Castanillor, which was a great success. But rest assured. Experienced?!? isn't ready to slow down yet!
This is the real deal! If you don't believe it... There's only one thing you can do... Come and see for yourself and lose all control as Experienced?!? takes over. Every show is an unforgettable event. This band is LOUDER, BETTER & HARDER than anything you've ever seen before.
So get off your ass, come to a show, and let the madness begin...
