About Me

For english speakers :

As a collaboration between Gregoire NACHBAUER and Edouard Thomas SCHMITT, it all started a couple years ago with a band called "Swines" that disbanded in 2004 ...In desperate need of a rythm section, they put up together a band called "Kick in the can" with Vincent ATLAN on bass and Thomas FLIEG on drums. All the members come from the world-reknowed city of love: Paris, FRANCE.

The group play a blend of pop-mod-soul that is commonly referred to by those in the know as "Rock N Roll" and find artistic inspiration from their heros such as Brit pop artists from the 60s like "The Who", "David Bowie" or "The Beatles". Other influences from more recent times run from "Elvis Costello", "Paul Weller" to "You Am I". Their trademark sound blends Rock, Blues, dance grooves and moves with a strong Pop vibe.Pour les francophones : La collaboration entre Gregoire NACHBAUER et Edouard Thomas SCHMITT commença avec un groupe appellé "Swines" dont la séparation fut définitive en 2004 ...A la recherche d'une section rythmique afin de pouvoir poursuivre l'aventure, ils formèrent "Kick in the can" avec Vincent ATLAN à la guitare basse et Thomas FLIEG à la batterie. Tous les membres du groupe sont originaires de Paris. Le groupe joue un savant mélange de musiques que ceux qui s'y connaissent un peu appellent le "Rock N Roll"et trouve son inspiration dans les artistes "Brit pop" des années 60s comme les "Who", "David Bowie" or encore les "Beatles". Les influences les plus récentes laissent transparaître les traces d'"Elvis Costello", de "Paul Weller" ou encore de "You am I". Le son du groupe mêle le rock, le blues, des tempos dansant avec de très fortes incursions dans la Pop.Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
