"Atypical." Yes, Pneu is atypical because their style is more (watch out) noisy experimental free jazz math rock. Hailing from Tours, the duo of JB (on drums and screams) and Jay (on guitar) are two peerless musicians. They have occasionally shared the stage with Marvin, Electric Electric, and Papier Tigre (which resulted in a split release), as well as Pay Day and Charogne Stone. They also collaborated with Kathoon, Norman Bambi, and O.Lamm for a two-week residency, culminating in an exceptional cine-concert; all organized by Travaux Publics, the label that notably produced the first Boogers album.
In 2008, they released Pince Monseigneur on Head Records in both vinyl and CD formats—an album packed with mathematical formulas, notes, and short yet devastating songs. Furthermore, their sound is unmistakable: Jay uses massive Marshall and ENGL stacks with very few effects, while Jean-Baptiste plays a fairly simple, beat-up drum kit with cracked cymbals and no small or medium toms (and he generally performs barefoot on stage).

DON VITO sounds like getting a beating from a ball lightning, or, as someone said: "They play like children in a sandbox, with a sound like a Minuteman landing on an aircraft carrier platform, and the musical understatement of a Chicago jazz band." (Lutz Schramm, Paroptikum, Germany)

TRANCE / KRAUT / NOISE DUO FROM MONS

Their fresh pop melodies are a mix of electro beats and Brazilian guitar sprinkled with Bollywood spices. The costumes of these acrobats make dream the greatest ice-skaters. That’s maybe why they are often called the Jean-Claude Van Damme of music, the Japanese Rita Mitsouko or the Belgian Jun Togawa.   Alek et Les Japonaises runs the alternative scenes as well as hair salons and sports halls. 

RINCE-DOIGT is a three-piece combo from Brussels. We play instrumental music inspired both by math-rock and post-rock.

Rince-Doigt est un combo instrumental bruxellois proposant une musique déconstruite entre math-rock et post-rock. Inspiré par la scène actuelle, le trio guitare-basse-batterie compose une musique énergique mêlant sonorités rock, rythmes syncopés et boucles entêtantes. En moins d'une année de concerts, Rince-Doigt a notamment assuré les premières parties de Mutiny On the Bounty, Delta Sleep, Mermonte, Fago Sepia, Cousin, ou encore Poly-Math.

Bearfoot Beware are characterised as much by tough, tight playing as by their deliciously devious songwriting. Wall-of-sound energy, sly intelligence and subversive arrangements keep the musical surprises coming. What's not to like?
