Pas De Deux represented Belgium for the 1983 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. The mainstream audience did not understand this unconventional song (a simple tune and just one line of text: 'Rendez-vous. Maar de maat is vol, en mijn kop is toe'). The band ended third from last. Nonetheless 'Rendez-Vous' became a big summer hit in Belgium that year. Pas De Deux released one mini-album and a couple of singles.
main members were Walter Verdin, Hilde van Roy and Dett Peyskens

August 8, 2015The video for "Cold Turkey" (and the fact that they recorded it in a coldwave style) is what casts doubt on everything; there's no way it could be anything but ironic, right? So then I go back and look at the other clips again, and consider the band's very limited output...I think maybe the whole thing is just this Walter Verdin's art project, using various post-punk indie pop/dance genres as a vehicle to take the absolute piss out of the scene.
Maybe I am completely wrong about this. Regardless, I love them. Watch the linked clips and see what you think.
