Absynthe Minded is a Belgian rock band, around frontman, vocalist and guitarist Bert Ostyn.

Their tracks contain a mix of thirties jazz, with a touch of funky soul, Balkan beats and Merseyside pop.

The musicians were the same as before: Renaud Ghilbert, Sergej van Bouwel and Jan Duthoy but were joined by drummer Jakob Nachtergaele, playing the drums and woodblocks on one song.

In February 2010 at the Flemish Music Industry Awards they won prizes for Hit of the Year, best album, best rock/alternative and best band.

The current lineup comprises founding members Bert Ostyn on vocals and guitar, Sergej Van Bouwel on bass, and new members Simon Segers on drums, Toon Vlerick on guitar, and Wouter Vlaeminck on keyboards and vocals.
