Stereototal
http://img4.picsplace.to/img4/20/ohah_f.jpg

The vanguard French Berliner duet gives us their secret recipe:
?40% Chanson, 20% R'n'R, 10% Punk rock, 3% DAF-Sequencer, 4%
JacquesDutronc-Rhythmique, 7% Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg,
1,5%Cosmonaute, 10% really old synthesizers, 10% 8-bit Amigasampling,
10%transistor amplifier, 1% really expensive and advanced
instruments? ...
?Yéyétronic, electropunky, kitsch & speed, sissilistening, bricolopop,
Berliner juke-box?...?a minimalist production (in a positive sense),
meaning a homemade-trash-garage-sound crossed with underground,
authentic as well as amateurish, ironic as well as effective, pop as well!

Les Delfes

Les Delfes are: An electric guitar played and sampled live, analogic beat
boxes and harmonica!!
Les Delfes are also: A man and a woman, a bitter, poetic, ludic style that
will give us a new vision of French chanson revisited through the
spectrum of electronic.
