MELOMANE is a cinematic chamber-pop ensemble formed in 1998. Melomane's distinctive sound has been called cinematic art-rock, and has been compared to such disparate acts as Belle and Sebastian, Elvis Costello, Calexico, Wings, and Stereolab. Some have called Melomane "the most European band in America," and others call them pop-noir. "These tracks combine garage accessibility and boho poetry with an ingenuity that will win over intelligent listeners and show musicians just how far a band can travel." (All Music Guide).
Body Kite is an experimental improvised dance-rock band started by Pierre de Gaillande featuring a rotating cast of musicians. Every performance is spontaneously composed live on stage. Drums, bass, guitars, keyboards horns, electric koto, loops and percussion are deployed to achieve liftoff for audience and band alike. For fans of early Pink Floyd, Can, Talking Heads, and Bitches Brew-era Miles Davis.
