Kap Bambino New Single

• 2nd Nov 2009

Described by singer Caroline Martial as “A call to all the bats out there”, Batcaves is the latest single taken from Blacklist, the third album from frenetic noise pop duo, Kap Bambino.

A psychotic groove comes skulking in from the get go and never relents in its total dominance. Synthesizers buzz in layers around the impassioned vocals of Caroline before it all mutates into a joyous chorus and a tearaway glitchy outro. This is a track guaranteed to inspire recklessness in the anarchic hearts of every listener.

The release comes with an impressive remix package: Jackson – Warp’s French enigma – sends the original on a suspense-laden joyride, whilst Institubes wunderkind Bobmo has emerged from the batcave with a club number guaranteed to get hands in the air. To round things off, you’ll find a scuzzy cover from Bordeaux garage rockers Hello Sunshine and a twisted house spin on the original by Orion himself under his remix alias Maton.

The summer of 2009 saw Kap Bambino cause mayhem at festivals all around Europe including Glastonbury, Les Inrocks, Latitude, Jersey Live and Offset. Powered by lawless rock’n’roll ideals; guitars and other live instruments have been laid redundant by the Bordeaux natives, Caroline Martial and Orion Bouvier. A spiralling tangle of synthesizers, plugins and samplers act as the medium for Kap Bambino to channel the unruly spirit of bands like Suicide and Nirvana. The ensuing maelstrom is immediate, kinetic and inspirational

Kap Bambino are currently on a world tour but will be supporting long time fan Peaches on selective dates, including KOKO in London

They play the following London shows:

3rd November – Old Blue Last
13th December – KOKO (with Peaches)
