Lobby by JAKOMO
JAKOMO is a Brussels-based band that transforms their turbulent twenties into a sound they call suave rock.
The band found its origin in frontman Julien Tanghe's bedroom, where he and his social anxiety withdrew themselves to create music. It didn’t take long to find his musical partner in Wout Vermijs (guitar), who also brought the whole visual aspect of the band to life. Match made in heaven! With also Jef Ballon (bass) on board, the band soon played Dour, Botanique and Ancienne Belgique. A well-deserved place in the finals of Humo's Rock Rally 2020 followed a few months later and they impressed everybody with their debut EP ‘Fastbreak'.
With the release of their latest singles "Call Me Out”, “Sexdroom” and "Atlas" JAKOMO is clearly taking big steps without losing their playful lo-fi character. This is partly thanks to the collaboration with producer Michiel De Maeseneer (Balthazar, Sylvie Kreusch, Nordmann...). During their week in the studio, their energies dynamically blended into an eclectic mix of catchy melodies, alternative hooks and groovy rhythms.
