| Japanese edition of Liquid Love by the Experimental Tropic Blues Band which includes access to ‘No Fun’ as an mp3 download and bonus DVD of the “NYC Diary” videos shot by Oliver Donnet, this version is actually the standard Belgium CD edition with an Obi strip and the DVD in a separate sleeve.
The album was recorded with Jon Spencer and Matt Verta-Ray in New York, also issued on vinyl, CD in Europe and Belgium The band released The Best Burger / No Fun 7″ single in September 2011. NEWS on the recording / album as it appears followed by images posted by the band: The original news story as it appeared on goutemesdisques.com was as follows: “Cela fait des années qu’on le dit: The Experimental Tropic Blues Band est l’un des meilleurs groupes belges en activité. Déjà excellent sur disque, le groupe écrase surtout la concurrence sur scène. Mais celui-ci ne donnant pas dans la pop mollassonne ou le folk pour midinettes, son succès reste limité. Mais ce manque de reconnaissance, le groupe s’en fout comme de sa première cuite au whisky et continue de creuser un sillon crasseux où punk, blues et boogie se renvoient la balle dans une ambiance enfumée. Et cela paie. En effet, après avoir parcouru les routes d’Europe en 2010, le groupe est désormais prêt pour enregistrer le successeur de Captain Boogie. Et cela se passera en février à New-York en compagnie de la légende Jon Spencer, à qui le groupe doit beaucoup, et qui mettra provisoirement de côté ses activités avec Heavy Trash et son Blues Explosion histoire de donner encore un peu plus de piment au disque des Liégeois. Le nouvel effort est prévu pour le mois de septembre sur JauneOrange. Et ça va chier dans le ventilo.” The band arrived in New York on 26 February 2011 to record the album and have since posted several photos of themselves in and around NYC including shots from the studio and a collection of tapes labelled with the following: Best Burger in Town (Best Hamburger) / Yeah Yeah Yeah / Petit Rock / Fantasy World / You Can Change / Change KPR (1st One) / You Can’t Change Me For The Better / NTP. Noise Collage / Nothing To Prove KPR / NTP HT End + Solo / Sex Games / Liquid Love / Nothing To Prove / Wo Oh Oh / K2U 09 March 2011: They posted “Very last overdubs this morning, after let’s go shopping!” along with a picture of the band recording with Jon Spencer at NY Hed. 12 March 2011: Lesoir.be published a French-language news story about The Experimental Tropic Blues Band’s trip to New York and a short interview with Jon Spencer.
