When a body meets a body coming through the rye...one of those bodies has to die. The loves, the hates and the death of indifference that skirts the understanding that violence is rarely silent and so it begins with the word and the words here and the voice and the deeds of Eugene S. Robinson, singer, author, fighter, along with the soundtrack of the last moments of lives lived in fear of this last moment provided by none other than L'Enfance Rouge. L’ENFANCE ROUGE, burned / consumed as much by the music as by the literature, invites EUGENE S . ROBINSON onstage and beyond for a treatise delivered in the dead still of a night that burns dark and brightly so. Singer of Oxbow, journalist for The Wire, LA Weekly, Vice, and Hustler Magazines, vocal hype man for Xiu Xiu, Lydia Lunch, Barry Adamson, Dead Kennedys and biographer of Neurosis, Eugene S . Robinson is also known for his works Fight, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You’d Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking, an encyclopedia richly illustrated on the street fighting, and A long slow screw, novel of a furious week in the Brooklyn of the 1970s [released in France as Paternostra]. An atypical trio L’Enfance Rouge is free, electric and violent. And sharing beds and stages with Eugene S. Robinson.

KEIKI is made up of half-English female singer Dominique Van Cappellen-Waldock and half-Italian guitarist Raphaël Rastelli. When she was 18, Dominique met Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath’s second vocalist. This was to affect her love life for years, as well as her approach to music. Her passion was transformed into love of doom metal and cats, among other things. In the early nineties, Raphaël sublimated his outbreak of acne by putting together Les Jeunes, a band which was part of cult collective La Famille. They were to shake the rebellious kids of Wallonia and beyond. When KEIKI was founded in the noughties, their music had shifted from major to minor mode (”True heaviness lies in minor chords” claimed Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath). Today one feels that it combines a wide range of influences:
P.J. Harvey, Beastie Boys, Enon, Add N to X, Dead Kennedys and even Venom.
It may seem like a simple recipe: steady vocals, striking guitar riffs, beat boxes programmed in “step” mode only and, most of all, the supernatural sounds of the theremin – an instrument as hard to tame as a wild horse. But simple, it is not. It’s straightforward, catchy and groovy.
KEIKI will release its third album on Cheap Satanism Records released in february 2012. The album will be preceded by a single "Full Body Wolf" which features Pete Simonelli from ENABLERS.
