Aquaserge - Ce Tres Cher Serge, Special Origins

Album features Makoto Kawabata from Acid mothers. The group was formed around three dissident musicians from the French group Hyper clean, in 2005: Julien Barbagallo:drums, voice / Julien Gasc (Stereolab): keyboards, guitars, bass, voice / Benjamin Glibert, guitar, bass,voice. The split was a chance for them to explore certain unknown, or little known, pockets of rock. A mixture of profound influences was thus established; navigating knowingly between kraut giants such as Neu ! and Faust, Anglo Saxon pop, Soft Machine, Zappa. They produced three albums  between 2005 and 2008, (the first, “Tahiti Coco” came out in September 2008 also on Manimal Vinyl LP only). They push the already elastic boundaries of the classic pop/rock formation (guitar, bass, keyboards, drums) just that little bit further each time. Aquaserge sings an epic tale.  A strange, underwater mythology is woven from one opus to the next — that of the charming Serge, survivor and savant, who wanders in the abyss aboard his cigar-shaped submarine. The group gave its first concerts in June 2008, notably as openers for Bertrand Burgalat.. Aquaserge become the backing band for the founder of the Tricatel label and for April March making a tour in France, Switzerland and Belgium in January 2008. Members of the group also regularly surge from their marine habitat to tour and collaborate with Makoto Kawabata and Acid Mothers Temple (they recorded a free rock album with him, unreleased yet, the name of the project is called "Mmmh!"), Kinski, Laetitia Sadier (backing band during her mini-tour in November 2009),  Stereolab (they played as openers in the European Stereolab tour in November 2008), April March & Tahiti80... They are currently working on recording and composing an album Aquaserge / April March. The new Aquaserge album « Ce très cher Serge, special origines » will be released Summer 2010 on Manimal Vinyl Records with an US tour also booked for Summer 2010. For this new album Aquaserge now pushes the boundaries to a new dimension with electric rock, enrich with a choral and orchestrations (woodwinds,brass and strings). Also adding to the crew, collaboration with frantic guitar player Makoto Kawabata of cult status group Acid Mothers Temple.
