He's a 'Faroe Islander' but also 'révélation des Transmusicales de Rennes' and that is as ever in France, where he's is also popular with Libération and Fip radio. By the way, his first CD bore a sticker that read: 'A mi-chemin entre Tom Waits et Nick Cave, un artiste hors-norme venu des Iles Féroé'.
So, that's right, he's from the Faroe Islands (somewhere above Scotland) but is above all an internationally radiating talent (as our AB 'envoy to the Faroes' was recently able to ascertain)!
'Stories Of Devils, Angels, Lovers And Murderers', his 2009 debut CD, will finally be followed up next year by a new release on Green L.Fant. We also expect Budam then with pianist Magnus, drummer Rogvi and finally also with 'Man' (the expected title of the second CD). A must for those who also like some rather intense theatricality.
Support act will be rather tasty local act 1060 (yep, as in the postcode.) Exciting late last year as Broodje Brussel in the Music Village. We could already read at the time: '1060 - ten sixty - duizendzestig - mille soixante - diez sesenta... You choose, alternating allowed. Postcode for Sint-Gillis. Codename for metropolitan music from a cosmopolitan band. Joy Simar and Renoar Hadri have been working together musically since 2005. He loves studios and was bassist for the likes of the late Marc Moulin's live band. She has a white heart and a black soul. Her voice is warm and unrivalled. With: Francis Perez (guitar), Patrick Dorcéan (drums), Renoar Hadri (bass) and Joy (guitar & vocals).'
