11:00 pm – 12:00 pm

After having played in a couple of rock/rock electro bands in Belgium, Sandra Arslanian (piano/vocals) decides in 2009 to concentrate her efforts on Sandmoon – indie/folk/singersongwriter/rock band. She is later joined by sandmoonians Tony Abou Haidar (drums), Elia Monsef (guitar) & Nicholas Credli (bass). Sandmoon’s songs are mostly tunes to listen to with the heart; somewhat soothing, personal and nostalgic, sometimes acoustic and folky, at other times rock or even electro.
The band released in Autumn 2010 its first auto-produced album “RAW” with the precious help of Fadi Tabbal – Tunefork Studios (the Incompetents, Youmna Saba).
