The Honeymoon Killers were a Belgian synth pop band started in 1977 by three friends. They recorded one album in 1979 but in 1980 they completed their line up with two new members & Véronique Vincent on lead vocals.
They were an irreverent bunch and had been known to throw raw meat onto their audience at live shows. Playing as many gigs as they could, the band pretty much took over the Belgian club and bar scene in ‘81. On their second album they covered Charles Trenet’s ‘Route Nationale 7′ which quickly became a radio & TV hit single in France and Belgium and the band even made the cover of NME.
