Lightning Bolt emerged from Providence, Rhode Island in 1995 as a three-piece art school project. Initially there was Brian Chippendale's explosive, non-stop drumming, Brian Gibson's James Chance & The Contortions-like bass lines, and Hisham Bharoocha's vocals propelling them in a fury of volatile noise and orgiastic tribalism. <br><br> The group helped found Fort Thunder, a music and art collective, and recorded "Lightning Bolt" which was issued through Load records in 1999. By 2001's "Ride The Skies", Bharoocha had departed (he eventually formed Black Dice). This left the vocal duties to Chippendale, who put the microphone into a sock and stuffed it under a mask he wears while performing. <br><br> Lightning Bolt did a series of tours with bands like The Locust, Arab on Radar, Orchid, and Melt-Banana before returning in 2003 with the studio album "Wonderful Rainbow". The album did very well in underground music circles, and set up the release of 2005's "Hypermagic Mountain". <br><br> Lightning Bolt is well known for their live performances, in which they turn up the volume as loud as it can possibly go and forgo a traditional stage, preferring to perform amidst the audience. <br><br> WIRE magazine: "LIGHTNING BOLT's anti-hierarchical, avant hardcore bass and drums remains one of the most exhilarating live shows on earth, not least for the sociological phenoma it provokes." <br><br>

I LOVE SARAH have been described as follows:

- “armpit-fresh rambling pop” (http://www.goformusic.be)
- “There is an electrical current which flows from these two opposites and creates the sensation of being hit by a "a slice of lemon, wrapped around a large gold brick" as Douglas Adams would say. If you like your rock with posts in it, you can't fail to love this band!” (http://www.moid.be)
- “simple music” (Gazet Van Antwerpen, 19/06/2004)
- “Their music reminds of mobile ringtones and rings in my ears like a beautiful story we tell to our children to scare them. And it works ! Unbelievable ! Goddamn ! This is pure music, between pop, degenerated rock and not giving a fuck.” (http://www.webzinenameless.net)
- “The drummer was talented, the avant-garde pop level was high, they put things on fire, covered Thin Lizzy, used Casio sound effects without making fools out of themselves, changed tempo like they'd never done anything else and overcame every technical problem.” ( http://www.kindamuzik.net)

CASSE BRIQUE, duo utilitaire du collectif honest house.
Si certains grandirent sous l'influence végétativement musclée de Leguman, d'autres empruntèrent aussi des voies plus abricabracadabrantes pour devenir le nouveau magnat de la construction, l'empereur de la truelle et du bloc Ytong multicolore, j'ai nommé: Legoman! Ceci n'est pas une fiction et la Belgique récemment annexée à la France a trouvé ses nouveaux conducteurs de chantier: Casse Brique.
Plus bâtisseur que démolisseur, ce duo bruxellois d'adoption assène un math-rock savamment élaboré et néanmoins d'une efficacité exemplaire: le ciment prend rapidement tellement la paire est de taille; leur mur sonore toujours loopé, jamais loupé!
Récemment coulé dans la chape du collectif Honest House, CB semble déjà tombé dans les bonnes grâces du grand Architecte du rock et ne laissera nullement de marbre les fans de Chevreuil, Honey for Petzi, et autres Shellac.
Et le maçon polonais me direz-vous? Il écoute Glumor bien au chaud!
