Our current roster/nos artistes actuels :
Chocolat - Nouveau projet franco pop psychédélique de l'inimitable Jimi Hunt, CHOCOLAT plonge l'auditeur en plein coeur d'une épopée fantasque de guitares diffuses, mangeuses de biscuits aux tristes destins et nuitées dévergondées. Misant sur des mélodies planantes aux effluves folk-rock et garage psychédéliques, le groupe -- qui rassemble des membres des formations Demon's Claws et The Cockroaches -- va de l'avant avec une pop salie et croustillante qui, campée dans l'atmosphère rose ternie des rues crades de la métropole, brille par sa lucidité embrumée et sa délicieuse absurdité.
Fort d'une première parution sur étiquette Dry&Dead (Navet Confit), lancée en mars dernier, CHOCOLAT a offert des performances électrisantes à Montréal, Québec, Sherbrooke et Toronto (NXNE) et Rouyn, séduisant à la fois la presse et le public. Choisi artiste de la semaine Sympatico-MSN au mois de juin dernier, le groupe a figuré en tête des palmarès des CHYZ, CISM, CFOU, CRU et Reel-Radio (Moncton), en plus de figurer au Top 30 de CBC Radio3 et ce, pour la majeure partie du printemps 2007. Des débuts fort prometteurs pour le groupe qui sera en studio cet automne où il peaufinera auprès de Bob Olivier un premier long jeu, à paraître au début 2008.
Chocolat is having a new Ep out on Dry&Dead Records. This Montreal band concocts tasty confections full of fuzz, vibes and Rhodes licks, coated with a veneer of French psych pop. Compared to the likes of Dutronc, Dubois (an important Québec pop singer...) or Dylan, singer Jimmy Hunt surrounded by significant local musicians (including members of The Demon's Claws and Cockroaches) brought CHOCOLAT to life. With such a solid line-up, they did impress every audience to witness their live enactment!
Since their first Ep, released in march 2007, CHOCOLAT started seducing both the press and the public. They took part in many important events from NXNE in Toronto to FME in Abitibi, through Pop Montréal and FrancoFolies. They've also charted all around Québec on many indie stations as well as being featured for many months on CBC Radio 3's Top 30! They will be in the studio in October 2007 in order to release their first, and now awaited, full-lenght album in February 2008. Let them have CHOCOLAT!!!
