    .................. ..No need to send us a friend invite if you don't leave a personnal message. Thanks!.. Inutile de nous envoyer une demande d'ami sans un petit message perso... Merci!.. .... ..You should buy "la fuite", our latest album..... .. ..Watoo Watoo consist primarily of Pascale & Michaël, who now live in Bordeaux after spending 30 years in Paris and it's suburbs. Michaël usually records new songs on his computer, e-mails friends to help with the guitars & the piano, and then asks Pascale to add her lovely voice. But Pascale is always busy doing something else, so Michaël often needs to ask her some time in advance. .... Over 10 years, Watoo Watoo have released 2 albums & 2 E.P.s on various labels throughout the world & have made appearances on an impressive number of compilations..... The music was strictly indiepop in Watoo Watoo's early years, but now other influences have surfaced. "Felt is still an obsession but Serge Gainsbourg also is one. I also discovered a lot of new music in the last few years thanks to the internet, so bossa beats or jazz chords sometimes subconsciously appear when I write a new song", says Michaël. .... Watoo Watoo have recently completed recordings on a new CD album, that has been released by Letterbox Records in June 2007. Among the new songs are a melancholic waltz, a pop song with 60s orchestral arrangements, an electronic tune, a bossa and even a funk number resembling a 70s movie soundtrack. Pascale's soft voice and the apparent smoothness of the melodies pull everything together, stamping the Watoo Watoo brand on the entire production. .... Short discography:.. * La fuite, 11 tracks CD, june 2007 (Letterbox Records/ UK).. * Le fumalin, 13 tracks CD, 2003 (LeS DiSqUeS MaLaDrOiTs / France).. * Le fumalin, 13 tracks CD, 2001 (Clover Records/ Japon).. * Curiosites ?, 13 tracks compilation CD, 2000 (BBPTC/ USA).. * Picture of a Lost Friend, 6 tracks Cdep, 1999 (Radio Khartoum/ USA).. * Un Peu de Moi, 9 tracks Cdep, 1997 (BBPTC/ USA).. * Many appearances on compilations CD... .. Although they have played few concerts (this is exhausting), the band played two "Popfests" (New York 1997, Paris 1998) and two concerts (one was radio broadcasted) in San Francisco in 1999. In 2004 the band was invited on TV7 Bordeaux, where 4 songs were recorded live for the TV station. The band had started making concerts in 2007 -playing live is funny!-. .... ..Band website.. .... ..Watoo Watoo on facebook.. .... ..Michael's photos.. .... .. ....Michael's top weekly artists:.. ......

    Hello WW ! Merci pour le commentaire.
    C'est un peu de boulot en effet d'intégrer un clavier, en effet, mais on est sur la bonne voie...
    Si vous n'étiez pas sur Bordeaux, je vous aurez sûrement croisés hier à l'excellent concert de Lloyd Cole.
    Bises. A jeudi pour la BM !
