random notes
from: olivier
caubet (ocaubet@club-internet.fr)
well well, about the
band i'd like to inform you
that there is
a site, and the
adress is : http://perso.club-internet.fr/doumdoum/
i think that maybe, it will be
a little difficult
to read for those
who (very rare , of course)
don't speak
french.
from:
patrick neve (splat@darkwing.uoregon.edu)
i guess i'm one of those rare people... nevertheless at this site you'll find
band photos, french bios, and mp3's of "let's move to cleveland" and
"filthy habits".

graphiose
band est un groupe de cinq musiciens
tous originaires de la région poitou-moldavie-botswana. de formations
musicales diverses, allant du jazz vriffé au "rocher roulé" en
passant par le torggle et le mairchien, tous les membres du groupe allient un
sens rythmique hypertrophié associé à de solides pulsions mélodiques rendant
leurs performances musicales sinon attrayantes, du moins toujours inattendues,
pour ne pas dire redoutées.ainsi, nous gardons tous en mémoire leur concert
live, au zénith d'izon, à
l'auberge "chez savino" qui se termina en une ébouriffante reprise du
thème bien connu "entsouchila" (traditionnel moldavo-toctoucien"
d'auteur inconnu). on vit ce soir là nufle mantis se lancer dans un gondolant
chorus de 4 heures et demi faisant perdre tout sens commun aux public et aux
autres membres du groupe. inutile de rappeler que le même soir, on maîtrisa à
l'aide d'une seringue hypodermique, doumiouse, le talentueux bassiste et néanmoins
premier ocarina du philharmonique de clermond-ferrand alors qu'il voulait faire
subir les derniers outrages au malheureux pitbull d'un quidam, alors en vacances
à izon.

- to patrick neve:
dear patrick,
i have been very happy to see that we are, the graphiose band, in your site.
it would be
nice to translate the
bios of
the musicians
in english but, it seem to difficult
for me. my
language is
french...sorry.
but some precisions: we
are amateurs, we are
really passioned with fz's music
and we
play this music, exclusively
live in bordeaux, or in the
towns around bordeaux. no record. only recording
of live
performances.
it could
be interesting for
you to know that
in france, only three bands
play regularly, fz's
music.
the nasal retentive
orchestra.
the children of invention.
the graphiose band.
on the site of
the band
is a
version of
heavy duty judy... so dear
splat, thank you.... and
bye bye.
