Dizzy Storm Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 this will be the fourth visit from those crazy frenchmen to Aberdeen, and the fourth time i'll have used the band description below!! ah well...its a good one and i cant seem to find anything else decent enough in english!"GATECHIEN (bass & drums duo from france)Gtechien'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, Gtechien 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. For an overall impression of Gtechien, a bad translation of one opinion about the duo is quite apt: "This group is likely to put a good slap to you".
