Formed in 2003, Naifu released their first album called "Naughty Pony" two years later. From the start, the band chose the DIY approach, bringing out their professionally recorded albums in hand-made packaging. This earned them praise from artists such as former Crass member Penny Rimbaud.
Musically, their influences range from Blonde Redhead to The God Machine, from P.J. Harvey to Neurosis.
Dominique's lyrics are uncompromising, with a mixture of sweetness and bitterness, of gentleness and strength, with blurred borderlines.
Since 2004, Naifu is part of the Antwerp-based Rarefish collective.
their second album called "Pieces of Women" is released on september 1st, 2007.
what they said about Naifu:
• "Lovely. Great voice. Nice lyrics." Penny Rimbaud (Crass...)
• "good stage presence" David Pajo (Slint...)
• "C'est une voix à couilles, façon Patti Harvey et PJ Smith..." Serge Coosemans aka Agent Palmer (Voxer...)
• "onverwachts, tegendraads en apart." Rue de Flandre (FM Brussel)
• "ici, le rock est élégant, la fougue féminine balaye les mots avec détermination. punk dans l'âme, naifu imprègne la mélancolie d'une rage mordante qui doit autant à l'univers de Shannon Wright qu'à la puissance sensuelle de Polly Jean Harvey. "pieces of women" est une sérieuse déclaration d'intention. à examiner sous toutes ses coutures." (Rif Raf)
Our first album is still available too (a dozen copies left)!
naifu - i had some really good comments about your show that finally they heard a REAL band after all the messy amateur punx (like my own band, hehe) i am glad it was as good for you as it was for me it was a memorable night, everything went indeed like a dream. bruxelles soon? xxxm

Hello there! Our new six-track EP "one hit wonder!" can be downloaded from www.nekorama.net for whatever price you deem decent! Thanks for your support!
Two new releases on FF HHH: Arklight from New-York and Aspect(t) from Italy.
Two trios of improvised music.
Aspec(t) is ASp/SEC_. ASp/SEC_ is A Spiral and SEC_, both from Naples (Italy). They are free-core, noise, electronics. They are free elecroacoustic improvisation.
You are in a small tunnel no light uppon your head, no moon on your left. You walk, you scream, you try to run but you can't. There is no escape. After a while, you stop and you listen. There is El obsceno pajaro de la noche in your ears.
Arklight are born in 2003, live in nyc and make music with their hands. They sound like animals moaning through their amps and banging on their instruments, too talent-less and poor to do anything else.
A day, a man took a train, he had an ice cream in his hand and a bloody beef heart in his pocket. He walked backward and wanted to dance naked a pickelhaube on his head. He was listening to Teardrop Entreaties.
we're staying at the Noodzaak in Gent where we're playing a show :)
but thank you so much for offering. maybe we will come by some time just to see you and go out some time in brussels. (pref. during a naifu show of course)
No Tool this time, but i was the only crew member who brought music, so they all had to listen to my cd's (self-made compilations mostly) all the time, hahahahahaaaaaaaa!
Hello! Comme le destin fait drôlement les choses! Je serai avec Seesayle et toi (Keiki) à l'affiche d'une Soirées Cerises!...Ce sera The Wizard of odds en solo piano/voix, version "rock"! Donc, j'ai même plus besoin de réserver pour vous voir toutes les 2, puisque je serai sur scène avec vous! ; ) Goed weekend! See you on 1st March, Alvin
