Cantharide est à la base un projet solo protéiforme ne s'interdisant rien, surtout pas le plaisir... :
De la pop acoustique avec son 1er ep "The Dark Side of the Wood - part 1" jusqu' au rock nerveux et puissant , le tout teinté d'un certain pychédélisme délicieusement sixties mais bien ancré dans son siècle.
DEPUIS MARS 2008 CANTHARIDE EST PASSÉ DU VIRTUEL AU RÉEL AVEC L'ARRIVÉE DE JOHN À LA BATTERIE ET DE YANN À LA BASSE
, une nouvelle plateforme de téléchargement légal dédiée aux groupes autoproduits.
La moumouche a croisé en solo sur quelques scènes ces derniers mois , Nina Nastasia, Luis Francesco Arena, Pull,Billy Gas Station,The black Zombie procession, Down to earth, Alain Perrier et ses amis...
In ancient times, cantharidin - the crushed powder of the Spanish Fly, Cantharides - was said to have aphrodisiac properties. It was the Viagra of the day.
Today, this is known to be dangerous and untrue, the dreams and fantasies of our Roman friends are destroyed, our wildest flights of fancy brought to an end.
And yet, at Pop Only Knows, we know a man who pursues this heritage and transubstantiated it into music, creating an addictive acoustic pop that stimulates & excites... He takes the homage to the point of calling himself Cantharide, and we understand why: his music, a little psychadelic, may cause lightness and blissful joy but also melancholia and a delicate bluesy feeling in certain cases with the more poignant tracks.
Pierre Chaissac is the man behind Cantharide, writing, singing and playing all the instruments on every brilliant song.he's now playing with yann ( bass ) and john (drums ) since 2008 march. Cantharide is now a real band , truthful and free, full of noises and senses , sounding like a ride between Boston and Ontario...
Choruses that bring to mind glorious elders like Teenage Fanclub, Guided by Voices or Martin Newell. Thanks to an amazing sense of melody, nested harmonies and biting lyrics, sometimes very funny and often disarming, he breaks free of their legacy.
You know it: Cantharide is the new pop Eldorado of Pop Only Knows, our favourite upper.
"I take control of the merry-go-round", he sings on his first EP, The Dark Side of the Wood - Part 1. So let yourself go: this enchanted roundabout has plenty of nice surprises in store.
