records & shows / november & december 2012

The long-awaited tape "Bye-Bye Waterloo" by TG Gondard is now out and available on my own label Les Disques De L'Oubli (Website HERE). 5 euros + post.

Also available on Les Disques De L'Oubli (and co released with Galerie Pache and Tanzprocesz), the new single-sided LP by Lubriphikatttor, entitled "Tapette". It is a live document of our performance this year at the Tapette Fest in Brittany, France. 12 euros postpaid (France/Europe), 14 (ROW). We will carry it with us on our tour in November (see previous post for the schedule).

And finally, on the most obscure sublabel from Brussels, Belgium (Les Disques Du Néant Absolu Et De La Mort), another live document straight out of the most obscure underground place in France, the good old island in Metz under the A31 motorway, where crazy sabbaths occur on secret nights. It's a 2009 live from TG Gondard, and it is entitled "Sous Le Pont De L'A31". 5 euros postpaid.

On the stage front, apart from my tour with Lubriphikatttor (from 2 to 11 november - see below), a few TG Gondard shows are scheduled:

june: shows in Brussels + TG Gondard on tour with The Dreams

June will be a pretty active month on the concert front, as many things are happening around Belgium.
First a little starter will take place on the radio waves of Radio Panik (105.4 fm in Brussels), on Tuesday 12 june, at 22h00 for the show "cuisine allemande". Quentin Nicolaï aka Pacific Games, the author of a great tape newly released on Young Girls Records, will perform a live set and i will briefly try to interview him over his music & life, in french language. It will be also listenable on the Radio Panik website.

Then, two days later, on Thurday 14 june, i will host a new show in "les concerts du néant absolu et de la mort" series. This "Brussel Chaleur" evening will gather Manuel J. Grotesque and Ilill at the Micromarché, for the ridiculous price of 2 euros, so there is absolutely no reason to skip this rare performance by Monsieur Grotesque.

The following week I will perform a special one hour live set at the late night bar "Bonnefooi" in Brussels. It will be on Tuesday 19 at 22h00 and it is absolutely free. Please come and take a look at their super powerful air extracter in their new smokers' room where almost everything will be allowed..

This new tape entitled "à Bruxelles" is new & available via Young Girls Records. It is a collection of tracks recorded in Brussels in between 2009 and 2011. Those tracks never found their place on previous releases, and explore very different styles; the whole tape being like a diary of my musical researches during my two first brusselaar years.

Young Girls Records and Les Concerts Du Néant Absolu Et De La Mort invite you to party in Schaerbeek for this release which is simultaneous to the release of tapes by Bear Bones Lay Low and Pacific Games.
The whole evening features TG Gondard, Q.Nicolaï aka Pacific Games, K-O-B and DJ Cool Brocoli, at The Student, on Monday 30 April 2012. The entrance fee is only 5 euros and one of those three tapes will be offered at the door !!
