Une basse, une batterie et un bontempi leur suffisent à distiller une noise bordélique et ma foi étonnamment dansante. <br><br> Rappelant tour à tour Lighning Bolt, Belly Button ou l'esprit qui guide un label comme Les Potagers Natures de Bordeaux, le groupe joue avec un groove incertain, explosant de distorsion quand il le décide, détruisant ce qu'il a construit quand cela lui prend, lachant un bon riff heavy à ses heures, offrant de la mélodie quand il le sent, ou sautant à pied joint dans une noise dansante et sans chichis quand il le souhaite. Ça sent bon le fait maison, le bricolage du fond du garage, la distorsion poussée à fond <br><br>

No two Kickball shows are the same, but whether the group is in a sparkling new club, a dive bar or a dingy basement, the Olympia trio always seems to embrace and exploit the inherent awkwardness of each performance. <br><br> In a small venue, Kickball sets up in front of the stage and makes it seem even smaller. Band members turn their backs on the crowd and carry on unintelligible conversations between songs. Singer-guitarist Jacob Wilson treats shows like disastrous first dates, his Robert Smith-meets-Will Oldham voice fluttering to each corner of the room in search of a window, his lips seldom touching the microphone. <br><br> Somewhere during the band's set, each eccentricity becomes endearing as Kickball counters its introverted awkwardness with the kind of warmth and intragroup chemistry veteran jazz groups long for. <br><br> First Kickball makes you blush; then it makes you wish more bands could be this good and, moreover, this free to be itself. <br><br>

Petula Clarck is a two piece combo comprising of Mat (guitar & vocals) & Vinch (drums). The band try to reach the instinctive way to create music. One rule, just one: one hour and half to create a song. If the song is bad, it goes to the garbage! If the song is good, they play it live and record it like they create it the first time. The group has never retouched his songs and never will. No cheating, Petula Clarck are songs created over the moment, without final improvement, spontaneous. To be closer to its instincts, the duet plays, invents, and serves its emotions like polaroids. It's why they like to call their music Spontrash. So they want to sharp their creativity, using this unique rule to create funky trash blues punk disco dance hits. It's fast, melodic, aggressive, experimental and noise but above all urgent and honest. They play in the middle of the crowd, two dudes, one drum, one guitar and 3 amps (guitar & bass). A fast and loud drum combined with the vocal effects, animal screams and onomatopoeias. They played a lot (more than 200 shows) across all Europe and USA. The instinct never lies.
