HUSHPUPPIES

I want my Kate Moss, everyday spread on my toast…

With these lyrics opening their last album titled ‘Silence is golden’, released in October 2007 in France, Hushpuppies will make you vibrate all night long! The story starts in Perpignan, a nice and sunny town in the South of France, and continues in Paris where the five meet together and form Hushpuppies. They develop a unique style, a subtle combination of the dirtiest rock sound and the most atmospheric melodies, and prove to be as comfortable with both their garage rock and electro-psychedelic inclinations.




Showcase of Hushpuppies at Kapok on 4 May at 4pm!!! Don't miss it!

BALBEC

This record oozes genius, absolutely magnificent.
We are overwhelmed by such musical splendor and emotional force.
Magic vocals with minimalist and umbrageous background, superb.

When reference is made to Balbec, reminiscence of Marcel Proust comes out… Moving around somewhere between indie-rock and dance-pop, Balbec entices us into multiform rêverie. Fed from the rich soils of Portishead and Tortoise, bred by the likes of Stereolab and The Wedding Present, those nomadic architects raise an unexpected and deceptively unsteady building, cemented by seminal inspirations ranging from Nick Drake to Mogwai. You’ll be mesmerized by the caressing female vocal. Fancy a journey with them?

THE LOVESONG

The Lovesong started in 1999 as a personal side project by Ben Tse (guitar/vocals), but its only been in the past couple of years, with the current line up of Ephraim Bano (guitar), Nic Tse (bass/vocals) and Suhail Stephen (drums) that the band has been an active endeavour.

Over the last two years they have self-released a couple of EPs, as well as submitting songs to a handful of compilation CDs and having a limited edition 3” CD released by local label Lona Records.

In 2007, the band was invited to perform at China’s largest outdoor rock event – Midi Festival, and also picked by Nine Inch Nails to open up for them at the AsiaWorld-Expo. They also managed to find the time to go out on a tour of South East Asia – booked and funded by themselves. And now with offers from labels in Japan and Norway, 2008 should prove to be a great and exciting year.
