Four lads from Ranst near Antwerp gathered halfway the seventies under the strange moniker of Bread & Butter to play some good old hard-rock. Rudy Goormans on vocals, Johan Lefevere on bass, Marc Mertens on guitar and Armand Cappaert on drums.
In 1978 they entered a band contest from Humo magazine “rock rally” but unfortunately they didn’t made it to the finals.
The second half of the seventies more and more Belgian bands managed to promote themselves with a single release even though it was mostly a local or private initiative. That’s also the way it went with Bread & Butter. Early 1979 they finally released their single with two of Rudy’s songs: “Don’t Get Mean” / “Son Of A bitch”. Both songs were mid tempo hard-rock similar to Foghat, AC/DC or even B.T.O., and totally representative for the rest of their material. As with most private pressings, if it isn’t already, this will be one of those sought-after relics for the near future.
In June 1980 their adventure seemed to be over as Marc Mertens joined the new incarnation of the legendary Mustang. Probably not his best choice as somewhere in 1982 this band split up for good.
Not really sure what happened since then. Only Marc and Rudy are seen on stage since halfway the nineties with their cover band BZB. |
