A
prominent journalist who shall go unnamed * wrote: “ Beast sounds like what you might hear at the last cabaret on the road to hell.” And you wonder, “is the kitchen there opened late?”
Probably for an eternity.
And if there was a juke box in this supposed cabaret on the outskirts of the Devil’s hang, would our music be in it? And if our music was in it, would it be classified under alternative, electro, hip hop, trip-rock or just ‘go to hell music’?
It’s hard to tell you what we do. ...when we first started doing it we had no idea either. Count it in, see what happens. Slightly amused, massively inspired and very curious, we kept searching and then locked and loaded this CD.
What’s the backstory? Well, we live in Montreal. Betty Bonifassi sang on the Oscar nominated soundtrack, Triplettes of Bellville…. sang at the Oscars actually. Betty also sang on the hit DJ Champion album “Chill ‘em all” which she toured to sell outs everywhere. Jean-Phi Goncalves has written, produced and played drums for Araine Moffat, Pierre Lapointe, Jean Pierre Ferland, Lauryn Hill and many others. He is a founding member of Montreal’s Plaster.
The Beast CD dropped Nov. 18 in Canada, March 3 in the States. Before the metaphysical release of the album, the first single, Mr. Hurricane was picked up by iTunes in an unprecedented simultaneous international release ….more than 375,000 people downloaded it in North America alone. Thank you, thank you, and thank you too.
Since then we have been reading some very kind words:
“One of the most strikingly original and swaggeringly bad-ass Canadian albums to rear its head in recent memory.” Ben Rayner – Toronto Star
Beast s'apprête à faire des vagues dans la mer pop à l'aube de la parution de son premier album. Enfin, la bête est lâchée! Stéphane Martel, Voir

Salut à vous les Bêtes de Montréal :) J'étais au Bataclan hier pour faire quelques photos et elles sont maintenant sur mon site avec celles d'Ariane Moffatt : www.lost-pixel.net
Hey! Thanks alot for the Add! Much appreciated (: I'm completely in love with your music! Though my project is in a different style, I do also write thematic works, and your music actually helped inspire me for a film I worked on called Funkt Up, Hope you get a chance to check out my tunes, I'm just starting to push my solo works now, since I was mostly focused on playing in bands before, my last band being Aberdeen, hope you like it! Let me know if you have the time, Peace and Love, Kevin
Hey BEAST! Mr.Hurricane has been a constant in any playlist I put together on my ipod. One of my favorite songs. Satan is sounding pretty tasty too, need to get my hands on that.Thanks for the add and can't wait to hear more!
