about

Happy Birthday de portables ! Here is your secret tribute album released by Gazer Tapes and Almost Halloween Time Records.

One summer in Ghent the daily meal was fries and beer.
We had brought a tent and we slept on campsites or we slept on sidewalks.
We had only brought a few cans of tuna and a ball. The supplies ran out on Sunday, the first day at a campsite near the Watersportbaan. At lunch we opened the three cans of tuna we had brought with us.
All shops were closed but a bakery. We bought a loaf of bread, it was the size of the steering wheel of a truck, we stuffed it with our only provisions.
Two mouths to feed but we were three that holiday. Ciccio, Gigi and I.
"Did you really bring tuna with you?" said Ciccio and I replied: "Yes sure. Just in case".
"I don't like tuna" said Ciccio.

The bread was tasty, the smell of tuna bode well. We began to bite into our half-wheels of bread.

"Can I have some?" asked Ciccio.
Gigi replied: "No, you said that you don't like tuna."
And we continued to eat, finishing even the last bite.

Some would call this struggle for survival, others a douche move.

Ciccio did not fast that evening, he was saved by a frituur shop that was open and served some legendary fries that we still venerate today.

That night I suddenly thought about something that my Belgian friend Wio had told me years before: "Belgian fries cause French are fake".

That sentence had never left my mind, so I wasn't surprised when I heard the same mantra repeated in a song by de portables.

"Ceci n'est pas une frite." is a tribute to the de portables who celebrate 25 years of career this year.

"Ceci n'est pas une frite." is a corelease between Almost Halloween Time Records and Gazer Tapes.

Saturday's Den

supported by 4 fans who also own “Ceci n'est pas une frite”

The sparse but expressive guitars, slightly muffled vocals, and minimal drums give this a melancholy and heady feel. It's like Kungens Man jamming with Alan Sparhawk after a bad break-up and a few lines of ketamine. PannionSeer
