BIOGRAPHY

Axel Concato has no homeland, but he's got the fingers he needs to play several instruments, a voice to charm, sing and disturb you slightly at the same time, a physique that brings him as much pleasure as pain, and a musical talent that has led him to be sought after; hotly pursued almost, inciting him to travel the world. He was born in Normandy. The towns influence on his music can still be heard today, largely because hes (still) surrounded by many of his childhood friends. He had a happy childhood, and effortlessly picked up playing the guitar, keyboard, bass guitar and drums.

Possessed by the spirit of rocknroll, this gift that Axel Concato has been given led him to quit Paris for Camden, London, in 2001. Represented by Andy Ross, he was hired as keyboard player in different support bands for some Epic artists. In 2003 he toured Texas for the South by South West festival with a Country-Punk band (White Russians).

This was with the same finesse with which he and Barth (with whom he has recorded an album) supported The Pretenders. We might mention here that after said Pretenders gig Paul McCartney insisted on personally congratulating Axel Concato on his keyboard playing skills. During that same year leading into 2004, Axel Concato formed the band Axel and the Farmers in London, with English musicians. He went on to play multiple concerts with the band and by the combined grace of his swagger and silhouette, starred as an extra in a number of TV shows and ads.

Strange as it may seem, all this didn't make Axel Concato rich. He came back to Paris in 2005, went back to keyboard playing and producing (for the likes of artists such as Barth), and set up a new project. Cured of his obsession for creating the electronic patchworks hed become known for, Axel Concato decided to revisit the rock'n'roll practice of playing instruments and the opportunity to perform live both in France and the UK. He went on to pursue an enviable bit part modelling career, appearing alongside Laeticia Casta and Monica Bellucci (Elle Magazine Anniversary Issue).

Produced by Axel Concato himself, the album was recorded by Chab & Sammy at Studio Pigalle and Chicken Cottage (Paris), mixed by Mark Gardener (Ride) at Ox-4-Sound (Oxford) and mastered at Turan Audio (Oxford). In 2009, Axel Concato has arrived. Watch out for his genius at a farm near you.

"Dream 7 EP", Axel And The Farmers' first EP, is due out on July 13th, 2009.
