It happened in summer 2003. One of these famous, long, exhausting and torrid summer, you only encounter in death valley or Normandy. Two wankers, known as Manolo and Rouliann, bored with electrifying cows to generate some animation in the Fauville Megalopolis surburbs (76 (merely the number of inhabitants)), decided to start up a punk group. Such a challenge but they had the will, they had the guts : no denture, no peacemaker should survive in the area. Since their ambition was not far from creating a brand new symphonic punk orchestra (a Beethoven like), they decided to make it three, grabing Gratman to join the group and play guitar, gong, violin, piano, double bass and few other instruments at the same time. After one trial, as Gratman became Destroyed man in less than ten seconds, group decided he should rather focus on guitar and compositions. Hopefully he had a few of these and enabled the group to record a first demo called : Just a Beginning in a big day of inspiration. Group began to tour with french groups such as Crumble Lane, Freygolo, The Elektrocution, the Gerbs, Nfd and finally, record a second demo in studio with Breu in july 2004.
But fame and glory are deadly friends, and since group is frequently upfront in famous rock magazine the courrier cauchoix , and despite internal links stronger than the 2 be 3, group suddenly became 2 be 2 with Gratman leaving KumpHoven to reach new altitudes.
At first, Roulian tried hard to play drums with one guitar in each hand but as he recognized, later on : Yeah, it was much noisier and classy but so expensive !! . Frightened for their Plan dEpargne, the two remaining decided to recruit Matt to replace Gratman and launch new noisy experiences.
But, Im talking and talking and was about to forget a key question : what does KumpHoven stands for ?
1/ Is it Roulian swedish baby sitter who feed him with breast when only 18 and that he had never forgotten ?
2/ Is it the favorite Manolo language after 6 beers that no one understands but him ?
3/ Is this what Roulian was hearing with his ear protections on when Manolo shouted Shut the F*** amplyfier !!
4/ Is this the answer youll get when youll have bought 234 KumpHoven records and get your fidelity card ?
