INTRODUCING We-Are-Z a four-part French, one-part Anglo-Italian avant-garde rock group as the perfect post-Brexit act with its mishmash of personalities, cultural signposts and musical tastes - a carefully coordinated chaos They are as inspired by James Brown as they are Talking Heads and Devo. Vivid, combustible and thrillingly illicit. Not just your typical new act, not just another band.
Oozing with instrumental flair, they are the dream musical collaboration. Gabby, the vocal wizard behind the lyrical magic tells unconventional tales of modern day intrigue. The man with the hands - the bassist and keys master - Archie, is a seasoned session musician and producer, and has collaborated with, amongst others, Beyonce and Pharrell Williams. With Max on the strings, Guillaume on the drums and Clement on the keys to finish off this multi-cultural, multi-talented facet to the punk funk face of the music industry.
Currently at work on their debut album, provisionally titled Z Is Not X, We-Are-Z have just released their brand new single, 'Goldigaz', - off the wall and straight onto the ceiling, this song and accompanying video are undeniably unique. I challenge anyone to find a band as unafraid to make a statement as these guys!
Due to leave the comfort of their four walls in London, We-Are-Z will be touring the UK with the equally quirk Devo (you'll most likely find these guys at a gay bar, a power station or at one of the O2 venues across the country I suppose). Needless to say these guys are a match made in heaven - or more fittingly on another planet!
If you happen to be in the London area on the 30th September and aren't afraid of a daring performance, then come and see We-Are-Z at Cargo, Shoreditch! I'll definitely be there...
