Entre dark rock et post-punk, Varsovie est formé en 2004 par Arnault Destal (textes / batterie / arrangements) et Grégory Cathérina (musique / chant / guitare) tous deux issus de la scène underground française. (Forbidden Site - Ex Cathedra)
Armé d..influences telles que Joy Division, Bauhaus et toute une génération de formations décadentes et décalées, en passant par des overdoses littéraires aux séquelles irréversibles et un goût prononcé pour le vertige, Varsovie se taille un répertoire à même la chair, à l..image de cette capitale qui au coeur de l..apocalypse a continué à se battre, quartier par quartier, barricade par barricade, même si tout semblait foutu d'avance.
Rejoint par Thibault Chapelat à la basse, et remplacé par Yan Four en juin 2006, le groupe prend toute sa dimension sur scène à travers l'Europe ; radicalité et effervescence ; une dernière cigarette au bord du gouffre.
La chute est la plus sûre des lois.
Between dark rock and post-punk, Varsovie emerged in 2004 by the creative output of Arnault Destal (lyrics/drums/arrangements) and Gregory Catherina (music/vocals/guitar), both ingrained figures of the French underground scene. (Forbidden Site)
Armed with influences such as Joy Division, Bauhaus and a generation of decadent and dark bands, journeying through a literary overdose that leaves irreversible repercussions and a pronounced taste for vertigo, Varsovie's repertoire is raw, in the image of the city (Warszawa) that, in the middle of the apocalypse, fought on, area by area, barricade by barricade, even if everything seemed to be already lost.
Joined by Thibault Chapelat on bass, and replaced by Yan Four in 2006, the band brings all of this energy and passion together on stage, radical and effervescent, in balance on the edge, the last cigarette before the long fall.
We seek alibis in disgrace.
