+ TECHNICAL KIDMAN + FEMMINIELLI @ Divan Orange // March 2nd 2012
On March 2nd, the Divan Orange will welcome an evening that will have repercussions on Montreal as we know it: Gary War, Technical Kidman and Femminielli. Ghostly rhythms under the sign of mysticism; for the lovers of out-of-body experiences. The tickets will be 12$ at the door / 10$ presale. A Turbo Productions and Blue Skies Turn Black presentation in collaboration with Boréale.
Doors: 21:00.
Transplanted to Brooklyn’s label Sacred Bones (Amen Dunes, Woods, Zola Jesus), Gary War is a UFO of dense pondering – from psychedelic new dimensions to cutting edge garage pop textured with keyboards, often futuristic, often new-wave, definitively audacious and constantly pouring into experiment. With two complete albums to his name, New Raytheonport (including a perfectly saturated cover of Alan Parsons Project’s Eye In The Sky) and Horribles Parade, Gary War confirms his rising fame in 2011 playing with the inimitable John Maus and now greeting Montreal for the first time. His third record is set to be released sometime in the next year.
Technical Kidman’s ceremonies extend to the least suspicious places of the city since the release of its first eponymous EP in September 2010. Marked with some emotional affiliations with the Pop Montreal festival and many medias, the trio with the magnetic / optical / glycerian « pop » is now producing in the aim of a future record.

The music of Berdardino Femminielli was compared – with good reasons- with the soundtrack of a future « softcore erotica” by renowned Weird Canada. The 80’s flavor, floating atmospheres and all the cosmic tales surrounding his keyboards contribute widely to make the artist a unique phenomenon of the Los Discos Enfantasmes’ label.
