Warmoes (//CHARD)
Noun (m / f)
- (vegetable), (botany) a leafy crop whose leaves or stalks are eaten as a vegetable. Warmoes is one of the forgotten vegetables and has an extensive history.
- (folk band) An energetic folk band, founded by Milan Robberechts (piano), completed by Laris D’hose (bass guitar), Marieke D’hose (accordion), Laurens Maris (percussion), and Arno Molenschot (tenor saxophone). “Will you join the dancing at Muziekclub ‘T Ey on May 8th? Of course, Warmoes is playing!”
Warmoes is an up-and-coming instrumental folk band with roots in the picturesque Gooik. In 2021, the seeds of Milan’s first folk tune were sown, which he and his bandmates nurtured into a young and accomplished band. They season their music with influences from jazz, pop, and funk, their specific taste characterized by the piano as the main ingredient. Be ready to hear a wide assortment of dance music, ranging from sweet mazurkas and waltzes to peppered bourrées. The music is permeated by an energy that would get even the stiffest houseplant moving along.
“A strong debut from a young band that seems to promise bold quality choices introducing fresh creative elements into a centuries-old musical heritage to which they remain firmly and proudly anchored.”

“Alhoewel de folk het kernpunt van hun muziek is, keert het 5-tal deze stijl heerlijk binnenstebuiten. Het kenmerk daarbij is de opbouw. Een zoektocht met experimenten die wordt gebracht met een openhartige en vakkundige bevlogenheid, waarmee Warmoes bewijst dat het wars is van stijlen. En juist deze (d)warsheid is precies wat hun muziek zo interessant maakt.”
