YÉYÉ
My Trap
(Anorak Supersport/Differ-Ant)
Soyons brefs : My Trap est l’une des plus belles surprises entendues ces derniers mois. On attendait pas grand chose de ses auteurs : l’ex-claviériste de Tahiti 80 Fabrice Hubert et son comparse David Leloup avaient signé, en 2004, un disque bordélique, plaisant mais franchement dispensable (Two Brains For Feet). Or, Yéyé renait aujourd’hui sous la forme d’une improbable machine à tubes, nés d’un mariage joliment réarrangé entre sons synthétiques et notes organiques, fulgurances live et calibrage métronomique. Banal sur le papier. Dans les oreilles, c’est une autre limonade. Si Hubert et Leloup forment l’ossature de Yéyé, ce noyau dur reste ouvert à tous les vents rafraichissants. Le tandem est épaulé par l’ex-Boo Radleys Sice, Mark Gardener (ex-Ride), Jon Auer (The Posies), Helena Noguerra, La Maison Tellier, Wilfried Schaeffer (Maarten) ou encore Clément Daquin (Alb). Malgré tout, My Trap n’est pas un disque de producteurs à featurings façon UNKLE ou Death In Vegas. Réellement impliqué, Sice cosigne plus de la moitié des titres, promène son sourire mélodieux au milieu de basses vrombissantes et de claviers kaléidoscopiques (le tube éponyme en ouverture), évoque à notre bon souvenir les Allemands Miles (Heroine), une éventuelle reformation d’Electronic (So Long), convoque Saint-Etienne ou Eggstone (la cuivrée Pope Of The Pop, portée par le tandem Helena-Sice). Ailleurs, Jon Auer prend la parole sur Comin’At Night, prière rétrofuturiste pour nef digitale aux lointains échos du Synthetizers In The Rain de Denim. Enfin, citons Understand, perdu entre claviers cheesy et guitares atmosphériques – les mêmes qui brouillent My Story ou Oxford 3am, hommage à la ville de Mark Gardener, qui tient le manche acoustique de Supa Vixen, modèle de pop éclatée et multicolore. Cet impeccable florilège parsème les clins d’œil aux vieux amis, les coups de coude à la concurrence et déploie son insolente exubérance avec une classe insouciante. My Trap est de ces pièges dans lesquels on tombe volontiers, certain d’y trouver la perfection.

Richard 23 Vs Soldout (04/18/2010)
First show of SOLDOUT yesterday as support for FRONT 242 in Frankfurt...it it was a real success.
I'm so happy we picked SOLDOUT to follow us on those German dates, really!
Even if our German audience is usually not too much into that kind of electro, the response was positive and warm!
The show was strong, the sound perfect and the band into it a 100%! I personally enjoy it and will for sure be there every night to enjoy it again!
Coup de coeur!
Richard 23
Yesterday we were in Stuttgart, and guess what? SOLDOUT did it again! The sound was even better than in Frankfurt.
Last night was probably a little more challenging for the band cause they started early and most of the audience was still not front stage!
But that certainly didn't stop Chalotte and David to get into it, quick and efficiently, and it took them only 2 tracks to get the entire attention of the public.
Response was surely positive to their perfect performance. Charlotte's vocals were again at the right place and level and David's synths sound attack cutting like a blade!
A strong electro-cocktail to start the evening!
Thank you again.

(The) Silent Days : About the AB gig on Music In Belgium (02/12/2010)
Sans grande surprise, ce concert affichait complet et on était curieux de voir si le regain de forme affiché lors des précédentes prestations scéniques (en mars 2008 dans la même salle et quelques mois plus tard au Pukkelpop) allait se confirmer. Mais avant de juger sur pièces, place à une première partie, The Silent Days. Un groupe on ne peut plus british (le style, l'attitude, l'accent) à la différence essentielle qu'ils sont français et assez implantés en Belgique. En effet, leur premier album, "I Am Nothing" est distribué par le label hutois Anorak Supersport.
Sur scène, ils sont déjà bien aguerris et leurs influences plutôt crasseuses du début des 90's (Dinosaur Jr, Lemonheads) en un peu plus poppy sont étonnamment limpides grâce à un son réglé à la perfection (pour un groupe de support). Ajoutons-y la voix assurée et le jeu de guitare sans faille de leur leader Julien Bouchard et on arrive à une prestation qui, sans être révolutionnaire, aura convaincu. Cerise sur le gâteau, cette excellente cover du "Chapel Hill" de Sonic Youth, une autre de leurs influences majeures. A ce moment, on ne le savait pas encore, mais on avait intérêt à en avoir bien profité…

And our collaboration with the french label kitchen music is over.
Nevertheless, you will find "our past" in the section "friends and back catalogue" and most of their records are available (till they're sold out) in our online store.

Soldout at Ancienne Belgique + MVSC + CasioKids (10/25/2008)
Soldout, namely the duo David and Charlotte from Brussels, appropriately head the bill. Following their debut ‘Stop Talking’, they toured through Europe and finished up at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York. In 2007 they met Jason Boshoff, known for his work for Groove Armada, Basement Jaxx and Shy Child and he promptly suggested mixing their new album. New album ‘CUTS’ proved to be a bomb too: a more somber tone, but still a danceable rollercoaster. Following a Botanique concert that was sold out weeks in advance, the Soldout party caravan will stop on the Anspachlaan in mid February.
MVSC is a project from MONTEVIDEO, those 4 young guys from Brussels who first presented themselves to an audience last year during ABBota. With their energetic and compelling electro-dance-rock, they were hailed as the newest Belgian rock sensation at the time, think: The Rapture or !!! Now they’re fraternizing with electro miracle-man and Dirty Dancing resident COMPUPHONIC to together provide dancefloor mechanisms that raise the roof. Following an avant première in the VUB Kultuurkaffee on 11 December (as part of ABClubCircuit) then finally live in the AB.
Norwegian Casiokids play around with all sorts of electronica, just like primary school children. So its not so strange then that they also give shows for children in their homeland (with Digitalteateret). But aside from that they were also able to win the heart of our travelling man at the Oya Festival in Oslo, with their grooves that waver between dark electro and naive pop. A revelation that has just been included in the succulent Moshi Moshi stables.
Since early 2006, AB has been laying new tracks with the NOW_SERIES. Samples of what’s happening today in a broadly defined genre are presented sporadically under this title. Our ears are pricked in all directions and of course we don't forget the local talent either. Further, no blinkers: all sub-genres must be able to be represented in order to introduce the audience to particular tendencies.

...En corollaire, des structures se sont développées, labels, salles ou radios (Bang !, Anorak Supersport, Pure FM, Jaune Orange...) et les Nuits Botanique, festival phare qui éclaire Bruxelles chaque printemps, organisent une Nuit belge gorgée de groupes locaux qui ne désemplit pas. Les Wallons y sont chez eux, les Flamands, nettement moins, sachant qu’ailleurs, à l’Ancienne Belgique, par exemple, autre salle fétiche de la capitale, les proportions s’inversent...

''.'' all over the world ! (08/21/2007)
After been releasing in France on LeGrandBag (differ-ant), "dot" was also released in june in the UK through the pop label Summerhouse records and is also available on the virtuel swedish store Delicious Goldfish Records. As we're in the virtual world, Showstar is the first belgian band to join the prestigious power-pop indie american label Not Lame (good music for good people) and this is what Bruce Brodeen, boss of the label, says about it : "Import from Belgium! Mixtures of all kinds of appealing Not Lame-styled sounds. Bits of Supergrass, Teenage Fanclub, Blur-ish Britpop and Ash. Listen below and hear what we hear! Sadly, no one seems to be aware of this thoroughly enjoyable band - we hope to change that in some modest fan.
Showstar have an intense gathering of quietly, heartbreakingly profound pop songs draped in lush, gilded sonic tapestries that are so easy to listen to here. There is no a weak song here as just when a few songs get beautifully sleepy, they kick back in the upbeat, rocking pop groovies of classic British-styled rock ala Supergrass and Blur. A Great Discovery!". Very pleasant and very different from what we could read in our "so charming" national press ! And last but not least, you could find "." in Japan since august the 8th on fabtone records ! Let's mention that "superlover" will appear on a thaï compilation released by smallroom in october...
