Another rare piece is the next one and I promise: You will love all three songs. Red Zebra is a Belgian post-punk group from Bruges and they started at the end of the 70's and have the following members: Peter Slabbynck (vocals), Geert Maertens (lead guitar), Sam Claeys (second guitar and bass guitar) and Johan Isselee (drums). Originally the band was called The Bungalows but after some time they changed their name into Red Zebra. In 1980 they had their biggest hit 'I Can't Live In A Living Room' which was released via Zebra Records and this was their first release and today still a punk classic. With their big hit, Red Zebra also had their international breakthrough as a 'small band' from Belgium. In 1986 Red Zebra decided to quit and each member took a different direction in music. But with the release of the compilation CD 'From Ape To Zebra' in 1992 and the continuing pressure and demand by fans for a reunion-tour, the 5 original members decide in 1994 to start touring again and even to make new material. Also their new material became a great success. In 2000 Red Zebra celebrated their 20th anniversary of their hit song in Bruges at a unique concert for their fans with old and new material. The group still exists and also has a related project today, namely The John Lennon Rifle Club.
