PUTAN CLUB
TransgenderFeministElectronicIndustrialAvantRockTechnoEthnoWorldSauvagerieItaly / FranceA duo from Italy and France, based in between Agrigento and Faro. Voices, guitars, bass & odd computer. The PUTAN CLUB stands for feminism, electricity, electronics & savagery. Groove, tension, frictions & distortions. Sonic & geopolitical blasts. Trance, dance and defiance.The PUTAN CLUB does not belong to any church (rock, techno, jazz, avant, punk, ethno or what-the-f#ck-ever) but claims the right to be all that, even more. And proved it, from Laâyoune to Beijing. An average of 150 concerts/rituals per year in Europe, Americas, Africas, Oceania, China, Central Asia...The PUTAN CLUB regularly collaborates with other demons such as Lydia Lunch, Eugene S. Robinson, Denis Lavant and other shamans and mistresses healers from Asia & Africa.“...Wild, organic and uncivilized..." LIBÉRATION (F)"...Putan Club have an astonishing and original sound and the live show is enormous. The audience is transfixed by the Italian/French two-piece who are so perfect and so stunning that you stand there open-mouthed at their brilliance. Putan Club are a stunning revelation. A medusa curls haired woman dealing bass filth with a perfect groove and a bequiffed man on guitar twitching with expectation. They then literally just explode. Their computer takes up the rhythm chores and the seering catchy riffs are delivered with a noisenik venom and raw power. There is the clank and grind of INDUSTRIAL and the forward vision of POST-PUNK and an almighty groove of DEATH DISCO which bites into RAW AFRICA then crunch into PRIMARY SAVAGERY. They are the best band that I should have heard of. The band are now an LTW priority that you must listen to. Now !!! " John Robb (The Membranes), LOUDER THAN WAR (UK)"...Here, everyone roared, yelled, danced, celebrated and experienced the wild… Avant-rock, industrial, techno, punk, ethno, metal and whatever else you want to add..." TRESHOLD (UK) "You don't only listen to it - you litterally live it... " MONDO SONORO (E)
"You could just as easily categorise them as ‘world music’ given that underneath the bludgeoning and exhilarating volume lie some intricate non-Western rhythms and accents – Arabian nights and North African days… Pretty damn noisy world music, to be sure, but it’s as good a label as any, if you need one. …Whatever the label, it’s definitely great.... So forget music industry categories. Putan Club are loud. Putan Club are relentless and often heavy. Putan Club play electric guitar and bass over deceptive drum rhythms and percussion tracks programmed with exacting care. Putan Club herd and intimidate their audience, somehow without a trace of aggression. Putan Club sing with throat-killing intensity. Putan Club sweat for their music. Putan Club’s music makes it impossible to stand still. " A JAZZ NOISE (UK)
"We are here to dance in front of the barricades and the gallows. The true value of music is its social role: opening minds, crossing borders, meeting other people, exchanging, debating, jumping, shouting and being emotional.This almost therapeutic mission is there so that we don't die alone, sad and stupid. " Una Miletić, DANAS (RSB)
