Hypnos 69 - the empty hourglass live @ muziekgieterij Maastricht

Optreden van Hypnos 69 in de muziekgieterij te Maastricht op 19 maart 2011. Camera: Jerome de Win - Evelknievel2000 production The history of Hypnos 69 began at the end of the ’80s, when Steve and Dave Houtmeyers played in a political punk oriented band called Massagraf. The band had several line-ups, although Steve and Dave were the only steady members. They released one 7“ EP in 1992 and split up that same year. At that time Steve was active with Belgian grindcore pioneers Agathocles (band). Agathocles and Dave started anarcho punk band Intestinal Disease. Both bands toured Europe and South America . By 1994 Steve Houtmeyers decided to quit Agathocles and form his own, more ’70s rock oriented band called Starfall. It included Dave Houtmeyers on drums and Tom Vanlaer on bass, and would later become Hypnos 69. By 1995 after doing some local shows, they changed their name to Hypnos 69.
