October Changes hails from Heist o/d Berg, Belgium and was founded in october 2018 by Luk Michels (rhythm guitars) and a former bandmember.
Luk formerly played in the Antwerp based Metalcore-project To Bury A Dream, a band that already has put Trix café on their venue list.
At the end of 2018 Wesley Marivoet joined the band on the drums. Wesley has over 20 years of experience in several bands and has played medium-big and small stages and festivals. He currently also still plays in the Punk-Rock coverband “Döst”.
After some line-up changes Wendy Van Craen joined October Changes as vocalist and lyricist in february 2019. Wendy started writing poems at the age of 5 and converted to songwriting at the age of 28 for her former Symphonic Metal band ShadowGrace. Wendy has had a classical training in evening classes, but also started with private vocal trainings in 2009 and keeps on training with her personal vocal coach up until this day.
Not long after, Wesley introduced Sven Luypaert to the band as the bass player.
After having played in several bands, Sven had a musical break for 15 years. In mars 2019 Sven decided to pick up his bass guitar again and joined the band.
When in august 2019 the band’s former composer left the band, the rest of the band decided to combine forces in composing and writing music. Not long after Wesley took over the role as main composer and the mood for their specific musical style was set.
At that moment the band was still missing a lead guitar player.
In november 2019 Wendy introduced Bert Lempens to the band as the lead guitar player. Bert picked up the guitars for the first time in 2017 and already displayed the talent needed to become their new lead guitar player. After a few rehearsals he proved that he was more than ready for the task.
