KO KO MO

KO KO MO is an explosive musical duo, two stage beasts: Warren (guitar - vocals) and Kevin "K20" (drums - backing vocals). Together, they are the fury of life. Always at the top of their game

in the footsteps of their 70's heroes, they subtly transcend their influences to offer us a "classic rock" with a vintage look and yet undeniably current.

Warren combines his sometimes androgynous vocals with a guitar playing never stingy in riffs and solos, while "K20" breaks the barracks with a sense of showmanship and a fury worthy of the greatest thumpers in rock history.

Their third and newest album, "NEED SOME MO'", is scheduled for release on March 25, 2022. This new album, not content to just hit the nail on the head, operates with a crunch of riffs, synonymous with a return to the very roots of rock! Through unbridled sonic assaults and hectic rhythms, Warren and Kevin demonstrate a breathtaking extravagance and a rare incandescence. Their ingenious compositions prove that in 2022 rock can still be revolutionarily modern, and how much it helps to keep us young, enthusiastic and libidinous.

This is surely why, in addition to federating the fans of the genre, the electrifying know-how of this explosive duo successfully seduces the new generation and the media of all horizons.

Howard

Howard's rock is full of Hammond organ, fuzz and electronic elements that have spanned the decades. The Parisian trio draws its influences from the great history of rock, from Deep Purple to Wolfmother, from the Doors to Black Mountain. The band has proved its worth with numerous concerts across France.

On stage, Howard pours out maximum energy, their show punctuated by numerous twists and turns for the audience. After an EP in 2018, then a debut album in 2020 on the eve of confinement, the band unveiled their second album "Event Horizon" at the end of 2022. "A record that puts HOWARD well ahead on the podium of hopefuls on the new French scene" (BEST Magazine)

José and The Wastemen

Jose, "a pillar of the French indie scene" according to Rolling Stone, doesn't give up. You may have already seen or heard him with The Firecrackers, Bleu Tonnerre, or in his featurings with Lafayette, Nadj, and so many others.

Back in trio form with his two comparses Quentin (drummer, also in Gwizdek, Arabella, and Fav) and Mathias (bass Hyde Park Corner, Hot Chibers, Stone Shelter...), he's always keen to raise the banner of Rock with lots of Roll.

Since 2010, they have played countless concerts in France (including a tour supporting THE KILLS, at the request of the band itself), 3 tours in Canada, and one in the USA. A transatlantic love affair that has seen the participation of Dug Pinnick (King's X) and Jeff Nolan (I Love You, Screaming Trees, Scott Weiland's Magnificent Bastards) on several of the band's tracks. Excuse the pun.

After several EPs, a double album and a slew of singles, in October 2023 the band delivers "Monkey on my back", an EP that couldn't be rawer.
