Das Pop is a Belgian popgroup founded in 1994 in Ghent by schoolfriends Reinhard Vanbergen, Niek Meul, Lieven Moors and Bent Van Looy. They were initially called "Things to come", but changed their name to Das Pop as Tom Keskens joined the band. They're currently working on their third album titled "Fuckland".
Old arrangement
Das Pop became internationally known with their 2000 album "I Love" (I♥). Their music is a mix of pop rock and electronica. Their second album "The Human Thing" involves less electronica and has a considerably more mature sound.
New arrangement
Tom Keskens and Lieven Moors left the band, and in 2007 Matt Eccles, a 23 year old from New Zealand, joined the band as the new drummer. Shortly after Eccles joined the band they played a showcase at Manchester's In The City music industry conference and were then signed by Sony BMG imprint Ugly Truth Records.
In 2007 Das Pop released their first single "Underground" after the departure of Tom Keskens, who previously played the synthesizer. His departure is clearly audible from this single onwards, as the group has evolved to a more pop-rock sound.
In January 2008 Das Pop released "Fool For Love" on UK independent label Prestel Records. The release featured remixes from French DJ SebastiAn and Yuksek, which the Culture section of UK newspaper The Sunday Times said "the momumental new single from the Belgian electro band".
Das Pop is currently recording their third album - their first album for Sony BMG - which is being produced by David and Stephen Dewaele from Soulwax. It is currently titled "Fuckland". It was scheduled to be released in 2007, but is currently postponed to late 2008.
