“First they hypnotize; then they get you dancing" (New York Times)

“Utterly mesmeric” (NME)

“Irresistible” (The Independent)

Warpaint is, as always, from Los Angeles and still combines odd guitar tunes, hypnotising vocals and pumping post-punk rhythms that balance on the divide between psychedelica and intimacy. Their debut EP ‘Exquisite Corpse’ was also mixed by John Frusciante – yep, of Red Hot Chili Peppers fame – and amounted to a modest breakthrough in their own land. Both Yeasayer and The XX embraced this talent and took them along on tour.

Their true debut ‘The Fool’ was released in ’10. Produced by Tom Biller (Beck, Karen O, Liars), it was that year awarded as ‘Most Promising Artist’ by the BBC.

They also sold out the ABClub in ’10 and their visit to Rock Werchter in 2011 is still engraved in collective memory. Now Warpaint returns in full. With the announcement of a real European tour. And with a new album. Of which little is known. But we're certainly looking forward to it.

The young foals from Horses kick off the evening, with frontman Bert Vliegen at the reins. Their debut ‘Clear Crystal Air’ is a fact on 30/09 (via Pias) and was canned with Robin Proper – the guy from Sophia & The God Machine – Sheppard. Fragile folk-rock - hovering between melancholy and euphoria – that, according to 3voor12, recently grabbed the adventurous Incubate audience by the scruff of their neck in Tilburg, Holland. “Vliegen requests that the audience come sit around him in a circle and then, in no time, has them has them hanging on his every word. The fragile folk appears to be a true match made in heaven for audience members recovering from a good night out.”
