Phantom feat. Jacques Duvall

About Me

Benjamin SCHOOS (of MIAM MONSTER MIAM fame), Sophie GALET and Pascal SCALP formed Belgian garage band PHANTOM and recorded nine tracks in two days. They then asked cult lyricist / singer Jacques DUVALL to join them on vocals. "Those guys must be crazy!" thought the fifty five year old hermit.He jumped on the first train to LiÃ¨ge to meet the band, cut four tracks (on which he used old lyrics turned down by different French stars), went for a pause at the Chinese restaurant where they made the picture for the cd sleeve, and then back to the studio for five more tracks. At the end of the day he was back in Brussels, his hometown.(Jacques Duvall wrote songs for ADRIEN, AMINA, AN LUU, BIJOU, Jane BIRKIN, BIYOUNA, Jeff BODART, Alain CHAMFORT, Coralie CLEMENT, Etienne DAHO, DANI, Lisa EKDAHL, ELSA, ENZO ENZO, IGNATUS, JIN XING, Marc LAVOINE, Viktor LAZLO, LIO, M. CHANCE, April MARCH, MARIE FRANCE, MARKA, MIOSSEC, Marc MOULIN, NATHALIE & les SOUILLONS, Khadja NIN, Helena NOGUERRA, MÃ©lanie PAIN, Joseph RACAILLE, Pierre RAPSAT, Jo REYNOLDS, Charline ROSE, The RUNAWAYS, RUNNIN' WILD, Henri SALVADOR, Enzo SCIFO, SPARKS, TELEX, Arnold TURBOUST, Le UKULELE CLUB de PARIS, Didier WAMPAS, Sammy WILLCOX and others careless enough to ask him to deliver his twisted minded chansonnettes.)
