WHAT THEY SAID...

" I've been listening to her CDs and liking 'em a lot. They give me those half awake nightmares.This is really good stuff! Damnation."
LONESOME WYATT,THOSE POOR BASTARDS -

- " I really love her music. It's great, musically and vocally.A bit of Joy Division smashed into Lydia Lunch, but it isn't a rip-off of either. Nice videos, too. It's all great, but " Noisi(h)er Silence" is honestly phenomenal. I'm impressed and even more honored by the fact that she likes my music. "
ZEBULON,SONS OF PERDITION -

- " The instrumental tracks and her voice are unusual and special.If she used a real drummer everything would be perfect."
RHYS CHATHAM -

- " Madame B composes pieces which are so flavourful as the original New York No Wave's productions.If the good fairy bend little over the cradle, she has everything to become the French Lydia Lunch"
YG,EX DADA'S NOISE -

- " Her stuff is crazyyyy! "
OTTO VON SCHIRACK -

- " Twisted thoughts and angry incantations over wonderful mechanical clattering and surreal washes of sonic gloom. Moody introspection and brooding sensuality. Deeply personal music from a true artist."
GUILTY STRANGERS -

- " On a minimalist music, Madame B proclaims her cries of pain or hope to create an obsessing haunting atmosphere, which takes us far, in a dark and melancholic world. A different sound which is worth it. "
COLD WAVE YEARS -

SIDE PROJECT : THE DESOLATION SINGERS ( Madame B & Neddal Ayad )



The Desolation Singers "The Blood Between Us" CDr Hand/Eye h/e052 :
http://www.darkhollerarts.com/product/the-desolation-singers-the-blood-between-us-cdr-hand-eye-h-e052


At it's core, beneath the smoke, haze, dragging guitars, and broken reverb pedals the Desolation Singers' music is a slightly tweaked, very gothic take on country music. To be sure, Neddal Ayad and Sophie Nadaud are rockers at heart. And neither of them seem entirely comfortable around an acoustic guitar, but listen close and weaving it's way through the songs on The Blood Between Us is the ghost of that beautiful F-C-G progression that forms the backbone of hundreds of songs of heartache and lust. They sidestep into the most primal blues with a cover of the traditional John The Revelator and are joined by timeMOTHeye (Timothy Renner) on the murder ballad Shaking Tree. Neddal plays guitar in the does, makes noise with Amanda Votta/The Floating World in Secrets To The Sea, and records solo as The Great Attractor. Sophie Nadaud has released several solo records as Madame B, plays in the duo Les Enfants Sales, and has collaborated with numerous people including Camp Z, Sons of Perdition, and Guilty Strangers.

MY NEW ALBUM @AFMUSIC


BUY MY NEW ALBUM HERE ( wave files ) : http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/psalm-37.29/id482101700

"Madame is a hard working musician and it does not looks like she never stops: she actually never stops! And with the time its music is getting better and better. This last release should convince you as this is the best work she ever released, more complex, better produced and featuring a wider variety of sounds from post-punk to dark apocalyptic folk. Oh did I forgot to mention? This record is also darker than ever! Good news isn’t it? Run!

Madame B is from France. She proposes a unique approach in its music, one could spell post punk but not only. Instinctively composed, the songs take their origins in a large variety of genres from post punk to noise rock and other more bizarre sounds. The sound is raw, the instruments changing and the emotion permanent. Many will surely try to define the music while other will simply let it play and feel it, what is surely the best option. Just enjoy!" ZFR

People Who Do Noise

People Who Do Noise is a Documentary Music ,directed by Adam Cornelius and released in 2008.

Synopsis:

'People Who Do Noise' is a film about the experimental music of Portland, Oregon. Extensive interviews and intimate performance footage provide an intense portrait of the motivations, emotions, and ideas that go into this uncompromising, sometimes brutal musical form. Unwavering in its focus, the film brings to light an art form unfathomable to many, with only the words of the musicians themselves providing any explanation for the pulsating sonic chaos they create.
The film takes a very personal approach, capturing the musicians working alone with no interference from a live audience. What often took place in crowded basements or dark smoky venues was stripped bare for the cameras, providing an unprecedented glimpse of the many different instruments and methods used.
Covering a wide range of artists and styles, the film features everything from the absurdist free-improvisations of genre-pioneers Smegma, to the harsh-noise assaults of Oscillating Innards and everything in between. Many of the artists in the film, such as Yellow Swans and Daniel Menche, have performed and sold records all over the world. In spite of such successes, noise music remains one of the least understood and most inaccessible of genres.
With an unflinching cinematic style, the film defies any trend-setting or commercial representation, opting instead for a stark portrayal of a musical underground at its most genuine and vital. For the subjects of the film, noise music is a way of life; a life in opposition to the tidy, orderly, and vacuous pop-culture experience.

Lyrics "the only one":

Whatever you confess
The feelings you express
No matter how you dress
You're different from the rest
The way you live your life (x2)
You are the only one who thinks like you
You are the only one who dreams like you
You are the only one the only one
Behind the bluest flame
They'll never guess your game
Your version of success
Is different from the rest
And the way you live your life
The way you live your life
You are the only one who thinks like you
You are the only one who dreams like you
You are the only one the only one

MADAME B & DRUNKEN C ( chronique + videos )



"Madame B & Drunken C: la No Wave qui vient du sud
La chronique de VERTIGO

Tout véritable fan de rock est capable de se réinventer un passé de concerts fantasmés. J’ai même récemment rencontré un type de trente ans qui, l’alcool aidant, se souvenait d’avoir vu Joy Division aux Bains Douches…
Si néanmoins vous n’avez pas eu la chance de vivre à New York entre 1974 et 1983 et si vous regrettez de n’avoir découvert que tardivement les artistes de la scène locale de l’époque qui pour la première fois donna un véritable statut aux femmes (de Patti Smith à Kim Gordon en passant par Debbie Harris, Tina Weymouth, les sœurs Scroggins et Lydia Lunch) alors jetez une oreille sur les productions de Madame B et Drunken C.
Celles-ci n’ont rien à envier à ce qui se faisait de mieux à l’époque.

Toutes deux sont des adeptes du Do It Yourself et du LoFi, des championnes du Less is More et des personnalités protéiformes aux projets multiples (Les Enfants Sales et The Desolation Singers pour Madame B, nombreuses collaborations pour Drunken C).
Les morceaux de leurs CD (qui sont en téléchargement gratuit chez Zorch Factory Records) ont souvent un côté expérimental mais là où tant d’autres s’égarent et nous font ch*** copieusement, elles agissent en orfèvres et nous offrent de véritables petits bijoux sonores.
Chez Drunken C, les ambiances sont proches de celles des morceaux les plus mélodiques de Sonic Youth (Mary is dead since, Dream Evil, Rumor across the town…)
A l’écoute de Madame B, c’est plutôt à Lydia Lunch que l’on songe (I am the worst, Rock And Roll -une étonnante cover de Gary Glitter- )
Ces comparaisons (pas flatteuses car plus que justifiées) pourraient donner l’impression qu’on ergote sur leur originalité, ce que démentira l’écoute de morceaux tels Toc Toc Toc de Drunken C ou I am sorry that I hate you de Madame B.
Evidemment, elles ne viennent pas de New York, ni de Berlin, de Londres ou de Manchester mais du sud de la France. Je veux quand même croire qu’elles se frayeront leur chemin et j’espère qu’en 2040, je croiserai un type d’une trentaine d’années qui, l’alcool aidant, me certifiera les avoir vues sur scène en 2011."

Concert FRUSTRATION _ San Sebastian 2011

Point de frustrations au concert de FRUSTRATION!
Facile? non,VRAI!
C'était bon d'un bout à l'autre.
Et même aprés, abordables et drôles, les membres de FRUSTRATION vous raviront!
J'ai apprécié leur simplicité et leur façon si nature de ne pas se prendre au serieux.
La preuve, quand je félicite le groupe pour sa prestation,le guitariste de me répondre " on a un peu trop fait les cons quand même! "
Bref j'ai vraiment passé un bon moment,je repars ravie!
Encore un groupe qui ne me décoit pas, que ce soit musicalement et humainement!
BRAVO ET MERCI!
Entre deux pas de danse improbable, j'ai tenté quelques photos que voici...
