Far from the shady bankers of New-York, it was in Angoulême in 2012, in a small garage on Avenue Lehmann, that five high-school music students found themselves and met-up, groove brothers, sharing the same passion for Afro-American rhythms.

Influenced by funkers such as Prince, Ghost-Note and D’Angelo, the little Frenchies intend to revisit the famous jazz-funk of the seventies, while instilling it with echoes of hip-hop, house and nu-soul.

But there are no covers here, as these young musicians, with four EPs to their credit, present only compositions, compositions by the band’s members: guitarist Alvin Amaïzo, drummer Dorris Biayenda, keyboardist and keen vocalist Julien Anglade, in an incandescent rhythmic alchemy that has nothing to envy their prestigious rolemodels.
