Shah-Mat

SHAH MAT saw its first ray of light in 2003 when Jp Devox combined the diverse and eclectic visions of Stéphanie, Fax and Gaby with his own grand ideas for a new rock powerhouse.SHAH MAT -a persian word for Checkmate- quickly finds their unique identity while recording their first demo's with Andre Gielen (Channel Zero, Mass Hysteria) in their native Belgium. These songs land them on many stages in Belgium and France; notorious events like La fiesta du rock, Le festival de Nandrin, Le festival de Dour, and La boule noire in Paris among them...In 2005, we see SHAH MAT working in the studio with JOHN ROO (Wishbone Ash, Hollywood Porn Star). Together they create the first draft of the album that is about to make waves pretty soon...Producer Erwin Musper (whose impressive biography reads names like David Bowie, Def Leppard, Metallica, Van Halen, Anouk) is absolutly smitten by those recordings and Stéphanie's voice and charisma. He decides to sign the band to his label and he gives the recording the superb finishing touch by mixing it in stereo and 5.1 surround sound at the Bamboo room Studio in Cincinnati, USA.SHAH MAT even records an extra song plus a live concert while in the USA. You will marvel at SHAH MAT's powerful show of force when you watch the DVD that is included with their debut CD. Their first album will be launched in Europe on March 28th, 2007.INFO & BOOKING : [email protected]
