With their successful first 7” release ‘Steam' and debut single ‘Am I Dreaming?' already starting to send ripples through the funk and soul community in Europe, Laura Vane and The Vipertones begin to power up for their album release, expected in mid August 2009. We proudly present to you an album of dancefloor funk and steamy soul tunes, with an honest, passionate and humble delivery. Support for this exciting new band has come from all angles, from online bloggers and music forums, to BBC Radio dj's such as Jonathan Ross, Mark Lamarr and Craig Charles.
Laura Vane & The Vipertones
Drawn together from both sides of the North Sea, Laura Vane & The Vipertones are a new (although most likely already familiar) group consisting of musicians from various Dutch & UK projects, pooling their respective skills together for this remarkably traditional funk & soul mission. From Holland (Dordrecht near Rotterdam) Phil Martin & Ton Van Der Kolk (AIFF, Soul Snatchers, Jazzinvaders, Unique Records) provide instrumental elegance and obvious talent for developing the grooves and beats fired over the internet from the relentless Jonathan Radford (Diesler//Burnley near Manchester, UK). Finally the music, in its rawest form resides temporarily with Laura Vane (Miss honey-over-sandpaper tones/Brighton, UK) who locks herself away from the modern world to work on the sweet vocals and inspired lyrics.
Musicians
Laura Vane // Jonathan Radford // Ton van der Kolk // Phil Martin

Le 10 NOVEMBRE 2009 à 20:30 - CHANSON FRANCAISE AVEC MATHIEU BOOGAERTS
Sur son dernier opus « I love you », Mathieu Boogaerts a misé sur la simplicité, l’essentiel en réduisant la voilure sonore : basse, batterie, guitare et synthé, basta. Une nouvelle route s’offre à lui : « Aujourd’hui, je n’ai pas envie qu’on me dise que la musique de I love You est belle, mais qu’elle est sexy ». Cousinage avec l’electro-rock pour certains morceaux ou encore funk-rock mutant né dans les ruines du punk, Mathieu Boogaerts se fait plaisir et nous fait plaisir !
LE 14 NOVEMBRE 2009 à 20:30 - SOUL/JAZZ AVEC RAUL MIDON + JESSY RAMDINE

JESSY RAMDINE, jeune artiste aux influences soul, R’n’b, se trouve très vite une passion pour le gospel et nous envoûte avec sa seule voix et une guitare sèche. En écoute à la médiathèque de Nanterre. www.myspace.com/jessyramdine

"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell."
