- Ghinzu is a pop/rock band founded in 1999 in Brussels, Belgium. The band released its first album, Electronic Jacuzzi in late 2000 on their own label Dragoon. Their sound is a kind of noisy rock, supported by a big and groovy rhythmic and some electronic touches while their subject matters are, among others, sex, partying, and drugs. The album was only released in Belgium and sold enough at least to make another one. Their second LP, Blow, was released in February 2004 in Belgium. Things started to take off for Ghinzu at that time, with a sold out gig at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels with fellow bands Girls in Hawaii and Sharko and an album release in France, Switzerland, Germany and Scandinavia in September. Blow was a success, especially in Belgium and France. In June 2005, Ghinzu sold out the mythic Olympia music hall in Paris, followed by concerts around Europe. They also played with Iggy & The Stooges in a Festival in France, Iggy Pop telling them after their gig: "You guys rock!". In the end, about 100,000 copies of Blow have been sold across Europe. In November 2005, due to popular demand, their first album was re-issued with a different tracklisting. In 2006, the band wrote and recorded the soundtrack for the movie Irina Palm which received a critical success at the Berlin Film Festival in February 2007. Their song "Blow" was used as closing track for the 2006 movie "Ex-Drummer", by Koen Mortier (based on a novel by Belgian writer Herman Brusselmans). Their song "The Dragster-Wave" from the album Blow, is played over the end credits of the film Taken, as well as featuring in the film's trailer. Ghinzu's third album, entitled Mirror Mirror, was released on March 30 2009 in Europe. The record takes a more operatic rock approach, sometimes gathering together several songs into one same musical movement as with "Mother Allegra", "Mirror Mirror" and "The Dream Maker" or with the final three tunes of the album. The band started to tour Europe in spring 2009, playing several dates in France with Placebo.
- Ghinzu ist eine belgische Noise-Pop/Rockband. Sie wurde 1999 in Brüssel gegründet. Ihr erstes Album “Electronic Jacuzzi” brachten Ghinzu unter ihrem eigenen Label “Dragoon” heraus. Obwohl das Album nur in Belgien vertrieben wurde, verkaufte es sich dennoch gut. Das zweite Album “Blow” wurde 2004 in Belgien, Frankreich und über das Label V2 auch in Deutschland, der Schweiz und den skandinavischen Ländern veröffentlicht und bescherte der Band in Europa vollbesetzte Konzerthallen. 2005 wurde aufgrund der großen Nachfrage eine Neuauflage des ersten Albums mit leichten Änderungen angefertigt. Der Song “Jet Sex” wurde 2006 im Spielfilm Sky Fighters verwendet. Ebenfalls 2006 übernahm die Band die Komposition und Produktion des Soundtracks zum Spielfilm Irina Palm. Die Songs "The Dragster-Wave" und "Last Fight" gehörten 2009 zum Soundtrack des Spielfilms 96 Hours. "The Dragster-Wave" wurde dabei für den Trailer und im Abspann des Films verwendet.

Vier jaar later, in februari 2004, brachten ze het album Blow uit. Ze stonden ze in een uitverkochte Ancienne Belgique in Brussel, samen met Sharko en Girls In Hawaii. 'Blow' werd een succes in Wallonië en Frankrijk, waar de single Do You Read Me? een hit werd. In juni 2005 verkocht Ghinzu de zaal l'Olympia in Parijs uit, gevolgd door een tour door Europa. Rond september werd de plaat ook in Frankrijk, Zwitserland, Duitsland en Scandinavië uitgebracht. In Frankrijk speelden ze op een festival met Iggy & The Stooges. Rond april 2008 waren er al meer dan 90.000 exemplaren van Blow verkocht over Europa. In 2006 schreef de band de soundtrack voor de film Irina Palm (van de regisseur Sam Garbarski, met Marianne Faithfull in de hoofdrol). In 2006 werd de track Blow gebruikt in de slotscène uit de verfilming van Herman Brusselmans' Ex Drummer, door Koen Mortier. Op 30 maart 2009 kwam hun derde plaat, Mirror Mirror, in de rekken. Met de eerste single ervan, Cold Love, zet de band zijn eerste stappen binnen het Vlaamse radiolandschap, wat indirect resulteert in een plaatsje op de affiche van Rock Werchter.
