Fascinated by Japan, these for students from Lilles borrowed their name to the term Japanese use to designate masturbation. Radiating an electric and communicative energy, their performances are theatrical and as impressive visually than musically; nevertheless, they don't resemble at all any kind of solitary pleasure. The combined dynamics of percussions, synths and guitars give birth to a mutant rock and to compositions that are all at once melodic and noisy, marked by a sound potency that can be enjoyed even more because it's nuanced and stylish.

Like Gablé, this trio comes from Caen and shares with THE 2009 revelation a certain notion of absurdity. Look at this name! But don't stop at this surreal nickname. Far from a redhibitory sense of humor, Jesus Christ Fashion Barbe owns a lot of important songs. And unfolds a vivacious and nervous pop, not far from Wedding Present (the Pimp hit) or Sebadoh (this apparent coolness). In short, children from the 90's who skipped school to visit good record shos, and allow themselves to tickle he new orchestral folk scene. Nonchalantly, these three messiahs that nobody expected could easily be the occasion of a surprise.
