A few months ago I got the chance to exchange very brief messages with the drum master of this band, V.Kago. He sent me their EP called Criniére de Lion and it blew my mind really. These folks have another band called What Planet is This?! and a collective in which they go by the name of "Club Cheval".Here's a little more info:
FIRST E.P. ON OCTOBER 20th : "CRINIERE DE LION" (NUKOD)
A high-pitched vocals, half-screaming half-insolent, a frenetic beat, a powerful bass et swinging electric sounds, here is SEXUAL EARTHQUAKE IN KOBE ! Their Dance Punk of the 3000s make you stamp your feet, bang your heads and dislocate the most rigid hips.
Close your eyes, stroke your cat and just imagin the rise of beats and bleeps mountain under the rays of a sky that fluctuates between clouds and sun, with, waiting for the band at the sumit, the most delirious party ! This épic vision is not clashing with neither their influences from Daft Punk to Human Leagues, via DFA 1970 and the bloody-crazy Blood Brothers, nor their original will to produce a new sound that has no reasons to be jealous of their anglo-saxon heirs.
On stage, the trio is an explosion of energy making good that simplicity and spontaneity go together with efficiency. And the joy they arouse each time they make a gig witness that the public agrees with them.
Sexual Earthquake in Kobe have been playing for two years in such prestigious venues as Batofar, Flèche d'Or, Trabendo, le Paris Paris (Paris), Aéronef (Lille), Le Grand Mix (Tourcoing), Recyclart (Bruxelles), ZMF (Berlin), Rocket (Milan),... sharing the stage with Art Brut (Uk), Bobmo (Fr), Bonde Do Role (Bzl), Boo! (S-A), Busy P. (Fr), Data (Fr), Fortune (Fr), Free Diamonds (Uk), Gong Gong (Fr), Holy Hail (Us), Hushpuppies (Fr), James Delleck (Fr), Poni Hoax (Fr), Pravda (Fr).
Already supported by their local musical network (North of France), they are to launch their first e.p. « Criniere de Lion » on the parisian label NUKOD.
A video by the parisians of So Many Pictures and a European tour starting on October 15th in Berlin will go with this release.
First of all, I'd like us to take a moment and visit this French punk-electro band's myspace. It's for your own good, son.
Secondly, they were kind enough to send me their EP, so now you can have it too.
Take the opportunity, be cooler than your friends. It's our secret.
