In french :
Perpétuant une vieille tradition de la musique pop, le label Freaksville lance pour cette rentrée 2010 son Singles Club. Mais attention, pas de confusion : ici, ni extended mix ni mashup edit, on parle de pop au sens noble du terme. Cette pop culte qui vous brisait le coeur au creux d’un slow et vous mordait les chevilles sur les parquets des dancefloors. Préparez les mouchoirs et faites briller vos bottines...
Depuis cinq ans, Freaksville déniche les artistes hors-normes du rock (Ufo Goes Ufa, Jacques Duvall, Phantom Feat. Lio) et leur offre toute latitude au travers du format album. Avec le Singles Club, il va se consacrer à éblouir le format radio en ravivant la saveur des grandes productions pop des 60’s.
Objectif : 3’30” de bonheur et d’exubérance. Des one-shot plus raffinés que les meilleurs long-drinks. Le cocktail ? Concentrer mélodies vocales entêtantes, envolées lyriques en chambre d’écho, et orchestrations ambitieuses ne lésinant pas sur les cordes, les cuivres et les percussions. Et incontournable en bubblegum pop, de prodigieuses jeunes pousses du micro que des invités mythiques viennent épauler : Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab), Mark Gardener (Ride)...
Soulevons cerise confite et petit parapluie, le Single Club en détail c’est : un titre unique en sortie digitale tous les 3 mois disponible sur le site. Format court et bien rempli pour contenter les iPod. Ambiance 45 tours.
First catchy frenchpop single of Juliette Wathieu aka Mademoiselle Nineteen .
Written by MMM (freaksville)/ Jacques Duvall ( LIo, Chamfort), orchestration by Gimmi Pace (MLCD), produced by Miam Monster Miam for Freaksville single club inc. Mixed by Antoine Litt, MMM and Marc Morgan.
English musician Richard Brett’s new CD is a collection of songs rooted in the tradition of English Folk music but tinged with 1960s pop and the spirit of Music Hall story telling. Richard has taken his inspiration from his wife, Mariane, his dog, Pruneau, his new life in Belgium … The songs cover many subjects including a protest against modern life (Sleep ‘til the end of the world), romantic love (Maybe she’ll marry me), a moving statement about getting old (Never enough time to say goodbye), a rock ‘n roll celebrating bad girls (Gonna make you mine) … Rhythms and lyrics intertwine to create a nostaligic ballad, a jumping rock ‘n roll, a funny blues, foot-tapping barn dances … Everything is amusing, colourful, sensitive and intoxicating.

OUT NOW !!! Phantom featuring LIO on myspace and new video and on TOUR (check Agenda) !
This amazing record will be out october 12 . Belgian garage band Phantom invites french pop icon Lio for a rumble.
At the tender age of sixteen Lio conquered all european charts with "Banana Split", a million seller in 1980.
The joyfull Spector-goes-electro track hit number one in Belgium, France and Italy.
An English version penned by Ron and Russell Mael (Sparks) did well in Britain too.
Since then Lio has enjoyed numerous other successes in both music and cinema.
Now she returns to the land where it all began for her and to the music of her heart, unashamed pure rock'n'roll.
Completed in three days, the album is driven by the energetic sounds of Liège based combo Phantom.
Imagine Debbie Harry backed by the Ramones and you'll have a fair picture of what's going on here.
Jacques the cowboy returns to life and live ! On WAF WAF TV !
3 years later after ' Hantises" Duvall and Miam Monster Miam are back in the studio . The unlikely pair has written ten new songs, ranging from sordid doo wop to demented psychobilly or sweaty white trash funk. Like a gallic Andre Williams, Jacques Duvall is crooning tales of doomed love and hidden demons. Schoos' compositions are sonic equivalents to tragicomic italian giallo movies from the seventies. . With his singing skeleton looks (shaved skull, bony figure), the radical production of Benjamin Schoos and the no-bullshit mixing skills of Kramer (Butthole Surfers, Daniel Johnston...), Jacques Duvall will convince you that belgian rock'n'roll didn't start with Deus.
yeah , the amazing Juan will be back at the end of january with Megaphone's judas, his second lp produced by MMM, featuring Android 80 , Dj Migone, Chantal Goret and Isabelle Wéry as guests. Nine new songs about Judas Iscariot, trapeze girls and flood tourism.
Nobody sings d'Outremont like d'Outremont . Listen to Megaphone judas new song on his myspace.
