 Sincabeza is Eric Camara, David Loquier, Philippe Rey and Antoine Vo Van Tao, four veterans of the Bordeaux rock
scene. The band began playing together in 2002; initially a causal side-project in between other commitments (David
drums for Laetitia Sadler’s Monade), their natural perfectionism and committed work ethic saw them complete a
demo by April 2003, soon followed by several high-profile support slots for Explosions in the Sky, Trans Am, Karate, and
The Evens. The band have now released two album,s, played 200+ shows all over Europe, and are at the forefront of
the blossoming French underground scene.
If a frame of reference is needed, Sincabeza's music sits somewhere between the UK bands that Sincabeza have
already accompanied both in France and during their two UK tours - Charlottefield, That Fucking Tank, I'm Being Good
- and those at the forefront of the American independent /avant-garde rock scene of the present day: Tortoise,
Shellac, Golden. Post rock, instrumental rock or noisy pop – whatever; if you ask them, Sincabeza will tell you that
genre is not even an issue. The four piece simply play, allowing themselves to follow whatever deconstructed and
intricate path they choose - songs full of awkward variations, elaborate arrangements, razor-sharp breaks, and –
increasingly – surprisingly poppy melodies. Their music springs in every direction, but you have to see them live to
better grasp their explosive and frenetic nature. The quality of musicianship is second to none, and yet the raw,
physical energy of their live show threatens to lose control at any moment.
