Botanique"the indie stars romanticising middle England."
C’est à l’Université de Cambridge que les six joyeux lurons de Sports Team ont fait connaissance. Leur premier EP « Winter Nets » est un recueil de chansons au regard cynique portant sur l’entrée dans le monde du travail et sur des clichés provinciaux. Nombreuses sont les influences que l’on peut entendre, allant des pionniers indie de Pavement au groupe de post-punk The Family Cat. Le groupe s’est fait un nom au sein de la scène musicale locale de Londres au travers de live shows effectués tout au long de l'année 2017. Après avoir présenté « Keep Walking! » lors de leur passage aux Nuits Botanique 2017, le groupe est aujourd’hui de retour avec « Deep Down Happy », un disque aux guitares dissonantes et aux paroles délirantes, reflétant bien la folie qui anime le collectif.
MELTHEADS
Meltheads are four live wires from Antwerp, Belgium, bursting with talent, swagger and the urge to go all out, all the time. Driven by the metronomically tight rhythm section of Tim Pensaert (bass) and Simon de Geus (drums), and fuelled by the razor-sharp and skilful guitar-playing of Yunas de Proost, Meltheads spit out highly infectious garage, clever post-punk and fascinating cold and other wave, calling to mind The Chats, Amyl and the Sniffers, Gang of Four and Wire. Fourth member, and a real loose cannon onstage, is lead singer Sietse Willems, the bare-chested incarnation of Jim Morrison’s charisma, Robert Plant’s sex appeal and Iggy Pop’s fury. Their live reputation is buzzing through the Low Countries like wildfire, and those who’ve witnessed them already know: these hungry wolves storm the stage as if they’re about to play the last show of their lives, kicking up a rumpus at festivals like Pukkelpop, Lokerse Feesten, Left of the Dial and their very own ‘Meltheads & Friends’ party at Trix in Antwerp. Still at the very beginning of their career, but you bet they will getabitarockin!
