Fat Chance is a generic term for the awkward yet combined efforts of Jef, Stef and Fred. One’s very hairy, another swears a lot [when he isn’t coughing], and the third waves his arms and legs about when talks [I’ll let you figure out which is which]. Founding members of the Unrezt collective, midwives of the Thin Consolation label, they supply a dark and throbbing electronica, influenced by Autechre and a certain scene rooted in Miami. <br><br> Promotional whores of the common good, they are often assisted in their various endeavours by the likes of Dave and or Skwal, and generally nourished by the one they call Early Odaka. They’re also usually accompanied by a funny fat one they all call Panda, official spokesman and team slut.

Hailing from the notorious 4800, the Herrmutt Lobby is composed of “nerds extraordinaire” Kadah Vresky, Back & Forth, scratch composer Dj Swiffer of the Fistfucking crew and whoever else happens to drop by. Separately they’ve already delivered several releases.

Guest sound supplier, Jean Mix was recently elected Vervier’s Mister Commodore 64. <br><br> Voluntarily sequestered in the Merlin HQ [and other dubious locations of ill repute], for days on end, without any contact with the outside world or so much as the time of day, Herrmutt Lobby are essentially these massive electronic jam sessions, selected, filtered and arranged for your optimal listening pleasure. <br><br> The next step is to take these sounds out of the comforting environment of smoky, dim light bedrooms, and into the spotlight, onto the stage, in front of an audience. They drink their coffee black, short, no sugar. <br><br>

Faites de basses répétitives et entraînantes, de batterie puissante et de guitares noises, la musique de Pentark vagabonde entre postrock et punk. <br><br> Un rock cathartique en recherche de structure, d'expression, de décharge; un naïf mélange de rage et de nostalgie . Un son à la fois cérébral et intuitif qui, à travers le neurone, désire toucher l'âme ; à la faire éclater dans une décharge d'énergie électrique et sexuelleÂ… <br><br>
