Ghent, Belgium. (1989 – present)
Gorki is a poetic yet powerful Dutch-singing group from Ghent, Belgium. Since 1989 they operated under the name of Gorky (with a “y”) but slightly changed their name when frontman Luc De Vos reformed the band in 1992.
As many Belgian bands, Gorky rose to the attention of the crowd during Humo’s Rock Rally. They finished third in the edition of 1990, enough to gain record company interest. Together with producer Wouter Van Belle, they recorded their self-titled debut album, which was intimistic and powerful at the same time. Singer Luc De Vos managed to write very personal yet recognizable lyrics filled with imaginative imagery. Not less than five singles were taken from the album. Songs such as “Lieve kleine Piranha” and especially “Mia” remain very popular up till today.
In 1992 the band recorded a semi-acoustic album “Boterhammen” in a park in Brussels. This was a series of intimistic concerts held every Friday during summer, an initiative by the Ancienne Belgique called ‘Boterhammen in het park’. This album features guest performances of Rick De Leeuw, singer of the Dutch group Tröckener Kecks and guitarist Patrick Riguelle (see Riguelle & Hautekiet, Kadril). This album becomes the last act of the group Gorky.
