The Black Box Revelation

When we caught up with Jan and Dries of two-man band The Black Box Revelation at Les Ardentes, they were in the midst of their summer festival marathon. The boys were happy to capture their gypsy lifestyle with a disposable camera and got so carried away that when we ran into them a few hours later, they had already gotten through the entire film. We gave them a second one, and both cameras just arrived in our mailbox this week, along with a handwritten note. Here’s the result of their recent adventures throughout Belgium, Germany, France and the Netherlands, clearly demonstrating that life on the road is not half as glamorous as one could imagine, but it sure looks like fun times.
