Pamplemousse Explosion

Behold! And welcome all. This absurdist improv psychedelic circus band from Montreal, Quebec, explores the juicy world of gleeful musical explosions, spontaneous poetry and experimental forays to the frontiers of electronic music and noise-jazz. In a constant journey of improvisation and new parameters, no Pamplemousse performance ever resembles the previous one.
This summer Pamplemousse Explosion toured the East Coast of Canada with acclaimed indie rockers, The Fussy Part, as well as made an appearance in Tadoussac, Quebec. Pamplemousse Explosion is currently in the midst of completing a new EP, with producer Alex Dray. Pamplemousse members, the legendary Potato on percussion and the delicious Banana on keys and vocals will once more rock your innards inside out as they further reveal the sweet and sour musical squishiness of their terribly disturbed imaginations, this coming Halloween. They will be accompanied by a new Pamplemousse member-in-the-making, Louis-Philippe Gingras, who outrageously turns his guitar into a freakish sound-gun of delightful whims. Expect bursts of reverse trip digital delay madness from the doctor of evil sounds himself, electronic magician Oliver Lewis.
Pamplemousse Explosion is a proud collaborator and friend of other crazed musical groups in Montreal, such as PLOZ, ORWHAT and THALATHA. They are also pleased to be amongst the members of of Positive Creations Music Collective.
Come, observe some visual pample-magic in this entertaining music video made by Isabella Geddes and Aimee Beauchamp for the song "J'ai perdu mon agenda." The surprise ending is quite a killer. Share it at will! Perhaps it will catch on in Japan.
The song in the above video is entitled "J'ai perdu mon agenda" (I lost my agenda) and it was recorded by the music wizard George Massenburg along with his students Marcela Zorro, Jeremy Tusz, R.E Gaskell, Nathan Moore and Jason O'Connell in Studio A, at the McGill Music Conservatory, Montreal, in November 2005. Cello by Marie-Claire Lavigueur and bass by Ninn Langel. The cello arrangement was written by Darren Fung. The music video was created by Isabelle Geddes and Aimée Beauchamp. The actors in the video are Derek Hanna, Alexandre Aubertin, David Goldapple, and Lou Kosak. Banana's dress was designed by Stephanie Murphy. Many thanks to Laura Nishikawa for her help and support throughout making of this production.
While we are at it, here is another amusing short made by Josh Usheroff for the song "The Egg" in 2005. Originally written by Banana under the guise of her old identity Anna Daño, this song has now been completely re-adapted with Potato to become a Pamplemousse Explosion classic. This short features cameo appearances by Ben Goloff and Oliver Lewis. The production itself was made by Josh Usheroff, Ben Goloff and Matt Zuckerman.
