DRAKES PRODUCTIONS is excited, to bring to aberdeen, for your aural and visual pleasure........!
Gâtechien - a french drums and bass duo based on energy and melancholy. Laurent (bass) and Florian (drums) wanted to create the madness that they couldn't insert in their two principal bands Headcases (emo noise) and Gina Artworth (rock noise).
reviews....
'Albini knocks on my mind, but not so metronomic and monolithic as in Big Black, Rapeman or Shellac: Gâtechien twist guitars. The others drilled with them. Ask me for a label for Gâtechien and I will answer avant-garde punk. You can choose yours." PopPage (Jöse, Spain)
"Gâtechien's music is raw, stark and harshly compelling. Bassist/singer Laurent Paradot torturously carves out leads while spewing agonized grunts, groans and syllables that don't sound like words in any language, or occasionally humming along with his own bass parts. Drummer Florian Belaud's complex beats make up in energy for what they sometimes lack in precision; he and Paradot have enough rapport that a third band member would be unnecessary. The songs are disjointed in structure but flow intriguingly from one dark melody to another. If they were more polished or polite, Gâtechien might be just another math-rock band, noteworthy only for their lack of guitar - but the brutal vocal antics alone would keep them from putting anyone to sleep. " Splendidezine (Rachel, USA)
