Confetti's

Confetti’s was a Belgian new beat band from the 1980s. Producers were Serge Ramaekers and Dominique Sas, sometimes credited as The Maxx (not the same as Maxx, a shorter-lived German project from mid-90s). On stage Confetti’s was fronted by singer Peter Renkens and female dancers Marleen, Tania, Hilde and Daniëlla. The band became one of the first to break through into mainstream music as a new beat act. Their most successful period was 1988–1989 with international hits like "The Sound Of C" and "C In China". Other releases were "Keep Smiling", "C Countdown", "C Day Live" and "Circling Stars". One year after releasing their last single "Put ‘M Up" in 1990, the original setting of Confetti’s withdrew from the spotlight.

At the beginning of 2009 the act was revived as a tribute act under the adapted name 'The Confettis', with the artist who was the inspiration for the group and founder of the new beat dance, namely Geert Tanghe, former European champion mime & robotic dancing. At the time he had already been asked for the group and had made a persiflage under the name "Serpentins" on various new beat underground acts that had been set up in the 80s. With this he had great success and the video of his tournée was used several times as inspiration of the first Confetti occupation. He himself was professionally active in the development of a futuristic act, first under the name "Man Machine" with singles UFO, IFO and The Best Ever Seen. Later he developed "Laserman" with singles including Technology and One Two and toured with this act worldwide.

Geert took the act and together with his partner Sophie he developed a both nostalgic and contemporary concept with new dancers. The act experienced further evolutions in collaboration, first with USA Import Music and later with La Musique du Beau Monde. In 2014, a remix single from the Sound of C came out with a re-use by X-Tof and in 2018, together with original producer Serge Ramaekers, a total remake single was made that was both integrated by The Confettis in every show.

In 2019 the concept will undergo an expansion under the name The Confettis 2.0. Both Geert and Sophie now bring the songs together vocally and by moving the singer / dancer to the forefront, the act is capable of performing as a party act the evolution of music from the 80s to the 90's with The Confettis. as a central theme. A concept that brings the audience into musical and visual ecstasy at small and large events with the experience of countless major national and international performances.
