Kap Bambino – Red Sign/ Acid Eyes

• 16th Mar 2009

Kap Bambino are an unrelenting prospect. Mixing the boy/girl DIY electro aesthetic of Crystal Castles with the fuck you attitude of Gallows, the band have built their reputation on a flurry of hectic live performances. Red Sign juxtaposes singer Caroline Martial pixie on steroid’s vocals with her cohort Orion Bouvier’s dark twist of white noise and beats. While Acid Eyes sounds like the result of combining a Microkorg with a blender backed by the constant thud of a battered drum machine. Whether you like it or not, Kap Bambino will not be ignored.
