Two superlicious bands from the awesome French garage rock movement are landing in Amsterdam 16 March at one of my favorite hang outs the epic Pacific Park.
CATHOLIC SPRAY (FR) - Psych/surf/trash Teenage Menopause Records
French garage pop trashy band from pairs, formed in 2010 and some members are also playing in Zyklon Beach, Strange Odd Mysteries and La Secte Du Futur.
LE PECHEUR (FR) - Garage psychedelo-fi Azbin Records
Haunting psychedelic garage rock, complete with eerie synth, distortion heavy guitars, strange noisy freakouts and haunting lyrics about evil. With members from Regal, Strange Hands and The Last Rapes of Mr Teach.
Happy New year folks, hope you all add a good and safe arrival in 2012.
2011 was the sickest NYE party ever and the two French garage rock bands Strange Hands and Le Pecheur rocked big time and a lot of our friends that came to celebrate the ending of 2011 ... there was a special time when someone switched all the lights in the house and everybody was jumping to Le Pecheur and we could see the lights from the fire works coming from the curtains ... magical considering the fact that this all happened in a 2nd floor with no elevators with difficult neighbors and tiny stairs to carry all those freaking heavy amplifiers .
The psychedelic garage sound of STRANGE HANDS was born in 2008 in Bordeaux, France. Interested in Psychedelic experiences & 60's music, Lucas, Melvyn & Victor decided to create STRANGE HANDS. The formation of the band remained as primitive as possible. No bass but twelve strings guitar, organ and drums. Their first 7" called Dead Frozen Deer is out on the famous Netherlands record label Fistful Of Records last year. Then let the flower grow in your mind !
" A big part of Le Pécheur's appeal is their deep and confounding mystery. What we can tell you is that they're french and psychedelic, and if they're not actually involded in the occult, they sure as hell sound like it"-CLASSIC ROCK MAG-Oct 2011 On le jeta donc, l'énorme Dragon, l'antique Serpent, le Diable ou le Satan, comme on l'appelle, le séducteur du monde entier, on le jeta sur la terre et ses Anges furent jetés avec lui.
Debut album MEDIEVAL DREAMS - Azbin records (Dec 2011), 7 inch split with JC SATAN on PRT Disques (Nov 2010-sold out)
