we do music you dance and dream to. It sounds different to what you've been listening to before. pretentious, maybe, but you can't deny that there are some good and visceral tunes here.
The influences, disco, eighties and indie rock are quite clear. but you can also identify actual club music with house and techno insights, with a punky feeling. All this mix, which easily could be an overdose of cliches, results in unusual and delighfull pop songs. And yes, some lyrics may be foolish. there's love and happiness, but also a little bit of irony in the guitars, grooved bass' and percussion. All band members sing in english, but sometimes you may even hear some portuguese, french and swiss.
Now we're releasing "Girls" to introduce the band. Only four tracks, but extended, delightfull and produced into a small home studio. Photographed by Hisato, ilustrated by Catarina Gushiken, all homemade and, sorry about no modesty, totally gorgeous. Simple and beautiful, how life can be.
This band Hello, Kate!! comes from an improbable place in an unusual south american country. If Sao Paulo is the biggest metropole in Brazil, this citys also known for it's millions of inhabitants with great culture that comes from a mix of conflicting influences and a lot of clubbing. take for an example the members of this band. formed by japanese, french and portuguese.
Hisato, the guitarrist and also producer/dj of the band leads the actual formation, with Debora X on bass and some singers and musicians invited. like music partners/dears. Some guests are also frequently featured. The group alterns music with fashion (girls workin' as stylists and designers, and a gorgeous dj), which is were the trendyness probably comes from.
Yo Hello, Kate!!asaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
Quelques news de deja vu: notre album "Roulette Russe" sort (enfin!!) officiellement le 09 novembre prochain (mvs records/anticraft)! Il sera dispo dans tous les bacs hexagonaux, sortie numérique etc...
Deux concerts en novembre pour fêter tout ça: le 17 novembre au Batofar à Paris, et le 27 novembre à la Marquise à Lyon (gratuit!!). Tu seras là?
