“…A nice lo-fi sound is also accomplished with a number of sounds,
samples and beatle like choirs…â€- Spl magazine
“...Mouton Fou sometimes sounds like blondie and sometimes like Gang of
Four, but because the band uses wind instruments, effects and sample their
different from the usual, which does honor to their name. A bit strange
but very nice†– National pop institute
Mounton Fou is a five piece pop band; the 2 brothers Harm & Peter-Paul,
sister Linda, Jankees and Emiel.
Harm and Jankees have got their roots in punkrock. They have both played
in different bands before e.g. Go Ape. But felt there were too many
limitations in this genre. Harm and Jankees had ideas for something new
and asked Harm brother Peter Paul to join them.
Linda who had made music with Harm before joined this trio and Mouton
Fou was a fact. The four met up regularly in the practice room in
Helenaveen. Old ideas got put to practice and new songs where written.
Within no-time there were enough songs for their first gigs.
They did still need a name and all thought being eccentric was very
important. They didn’t want to follow the mass like a sheep does and
came up with the name Mouton Fou (French for Mad Sheep)
To present themselves they needed a demo. ‘A demo? Why not a complete
cd?’ they asked themselves. They changed their practice room into a
studio and with some help from studio aRe U Recordings they recorded
their first cd.
To widden their musical horizon Emiel Verhaegh joined as fifth member of
the band. He had already been involved in recording Mouton Fou’s first CD.
A month after the release of their first CD, Mr. Moustache, they already
had enough new songs for a second album, on which they are working on at
the moment. On this album the songs are better worked out and there are
more wind-sections, in comparison with their first album.
This new album will probably be available in the summer of 2007. The
drums and the mixing will be done in studio aRe U Recordings and the
rest will be recorded in all peace at studio 2 by the band.
