Robbing Millions
Robbing Millions is back! After the release of a critically acclaimed eponymous debut album in late 2016 and appearances on many prestigious venues (Pitchfork Paris, Pukkelpop, Dour Festival, Eurosonic, Paleo Festival) Lucien Fraipont's avant-pop has known a lull. The different members of the band each went their own way and Lucien went alone to Los Angeles where he found an ideal collaborator in Shags Chamberlain, cult figure of the indie scene known for his work with Ariel Pink, Drugdealer and Mac Demarco. Between these sessions, Lucien collaborated with Aksak Maboul as a sideman and produced the first EP of the surprising Judith Kiddo that he accompanies on stage. The duo worked on the album for eighteen months during different sessions in Brussels and Los Angeles. The result is a journey of 18 songs with surprising influences including Brazilian MPB, Wally Badarou, Italian progressive rock effluves, video game music and the weirdo pop of Ariel Pink and Gary Wilson. Scheduled for release in 2020!
La nouvelle pépite de pop belge
Judith Kiddo
Brussels-born and based singer-songwriter Judith Kiddo will soon be releasing her first EP, « Petit Chien », refreshing infusion of pop-synth and folk, fortified by childish yet sensual voices and a quirky sense of humour. Though formally trained as an actress, her love of signing and curiosity for any type of music goes back to early childhood. She has been fortunate enough to get help from Robbing Millions leader and multi instrumentalist Lucien Fraipont, who elegantly produced each one of her early compositions. On stage, Judith is surrounded by musicians spotted in Le Colisée, Aksak Maboul or Spookhuisje.
Shoko Igarashi
Bien que polyvalente dans les instruments à vent, Shoko Igarashi compte plusieurs cordes à son arc. En plus de son expertise instrumentale, la niponne s’est également illustrée en tant qu’arrangeuse et compositrice. La Bruxelloise d’adoption a peaufiné son amour pour le jazz lors de ses études musicales aux Etats-Unis. Ce travail a abouti à la naissance acclamée de son premier album « Alarm Call ». Finissant actuellement sa maîtrise au Conservatoire royal, Shoko Igarashi vient exprimer tout son talent et sa fibre jazzy au Botanique lors d’un concert qui s’annonce intense et prodigieux
