Angine de Poitrine (Live on KEXP)

[davedamage]

I've also seen him with a single neck Dunable with microtonal frets.

This showed up all over the place yesterday. Very cool concept.

Not sure how much I'll listen to it, tho.

 

[nitrateaudio]

I think the music and the outfits are cool. The outfits match the musical goals and intentions. It would be interpreted a lot more different if they dressed like suburb hipsters Arkelles.

 

[nitrateaudio]

First thought was Kiss concealing their faces. Like I said I have worked with a bunch of gimmicky bands and find it funny that they need to do that.
The music is great complete opposite of Kiss.

my first thought was Austin TV.

Points for trying to get people's attention, I'll give them that much. The distinction between musical performance and vaudeville being acknowledged, in this age of TicToc-brain I guess the latter seems more necessary. I can't fault them for that.

Did you notice that both the guitar and the bass necks have quarter tones?
It's the first time I see a bass with quarter tones…

Hansford Rowe has been into just intonation and twelve tone plus for decades.

Nifty. I don't recognize his looper but it clearly has a couple of independent loops. I have a Boss RC-50 that has three. Infinite creativity....

In the comments for the video, Snakefinger(a Residents associate, of course), Primus, Beefheart, Death From Above ‘79, and Buckethead were referenced in comparison, and I’d add Fred Frith(and by extention, Henry Cow), plus 80’s Irish band Stump as well.
That’s all on a musical level, and then let’s not forget the godfathers of guitar looping, Fripp and Eno…and ol’ Bri was quite the freakazoid clothes horse back in the day. The angular look reminds me of certain Weimar Republic era expressionist films, plus the artwork of Gary Panter(Pee Wee’s Playhouse and Frank Zappa album covers).

OMG, STUMP! Nobody knows about Stump! Respect.

 

[bassfran]

I'm hearing a big Clown Core influence, too. Interesting stuff.

 

[Michedelic]

OMG, STUMP! Nobody knows about Stump! Respect.

Kev Hopper is #3 on the list of innovative fretless Wal players, after Jones and Karn.

 

[antfarm]

Here they are before customs and double neck. I love how they evolved that already awesome concept.

At 8:00 they hint at their future, more absurd direction.

 

[GrooveCaptain]

Checked out this band last night when it was posted here, and again today. I love the whole thing they've got going on! The costumes are extremely well done, and fit so well with the weird music and whole experience. Really fun interesting band. Would love to see them live sometime. Really refreshing to see something new being done.

This article (in French) explains that the frets on the guitar/bass are split in two so he can play 1/4 tones.

I’ve been listening to them daily for a little while now. It’s my new favorite band.



Raman. Merci pour l’article. Je ne l’avais pas vu passer.

Guess they didn't want this secret to get out now that the video is private

 

[gtirard]

I know the venue, it's super small. It could be impossible to enter…

The concert tonight was fabulous! It's been a very long time since I had not seen such a great show.

Don't miss them if they play near you.

You haven't seen them live, have you? You may not like their music, but I can tell you they are real performers.

 

[MonetBass]

It's always great to see something new and out of the ordinary, which this certainly is. Not my thing, though. As we know, all new music is influenced by and a reaction to the music that came before it. The new variable here is AI, which, if you asked it to make something like this up, it would fail miserably. Which makes me happy.

They sure entered the bloodstream pretty big, it seemed they turned up in quite a few Talk bass members YouTube algorithms including mine. I'm stoked for them, they got me for sure.

This guy found a clever solution with a standard bass (no affiliation or relation)-

"To get the microtonal notes on a normal instrument, I tuned the D string to 50 cents (half a semitone) up from A, so that the A and D strings can function like a single string with all 24 notes"
