Past members

TC Matic was a Belgian rock band founded in 1980 in Brussels. Centered on singer Arno Hintjens and guitarist Jean-Marie Aerts,[1] the band played a kind of music sometimes referred to as "eurorock", containing various styles including new wave, blues, funk, hard rock, avant-garde and French chanson. The band released four studio albums and attained a measure of commercial and popular success, and disbanded in 1986.

History

The band has its origin in the duo Tjens-Couter, composed of Arno Hintjens and guitarist Paul Couter,[2] which played rhythm and blues[3] since the early 1970s, and in 1974 were augmented with Ferre Baelen (bass) and Rudy Cloet (drums), and in 1977 with Serge Feys (keyboards).[4] Two albums were released, Who Cares (1975) and Plat du Jour (1978).[5] In 1980, the group was renamed TC Matic after the Yugoslav surrealist poet Dušan Matić.[4] Decoutere was soon replaced by Jean-Marie Aerts, who cooperated with [6] Hintjens in the majority of the band's compositions and produced the first three albums.[4] Their debut album, TC Matic, was described as a mixture of Killing Joke and Gang of Four;[7] they scored an early hit in Belgium with "Oh La La La" in 1981,[1] and another with "Putain putain" from 1983's Choco.[8][9]

In 1984, the Dutch bass player Michael Peet replaced Ferre Baelen. In 1985, the band toured Europe, opening for the Simple Minds,[4] a tour which proved that Belgian bands could attain commercial success outside the country.[10] A final album, Ye Ye (1985), was produced by Howard Gray. The band broke up in 1986.[4]

After the breakup

Arno Hintjes started a solo career, under the name Arno. He continued to cooperate with Jean-Marie Aerts, who went on to work mainly as a producer (for Jo Lemaire and the Urban Dance Squad, among others), and with two other ex-TC Matic-members, drummer Rudy Cloet and keyboard player Serge Feys.
