The Royal Belgian Conspiracy is an indie/folk/alt country band based in Canberra and Melbourne. The band is known for their lilting melodic ballads and foot tapping faster songs. The origins of the band name 'The Royal Belgian Conspiracy' derive from Moozy's Belgian roots and there being a Baron on his father’s side of the family. The 'conspiracy' reference was simply added for punch. Lead singer Moozy's father was a one-hit wonder in Belgium with the single 'Savez-Vous Danser Sans Souliers' (which translates in English to 'Can You Dance Without Shoes') all the way back in 1962.
