20 years of official service close with Fred, elder of dDamage brotherhood-duo, passing away. dDamage has always been at the raving crossroad of electronic, rock, noise and hip-hop musics. Numerous world tours for about 600 gigs, 8 albums, over and above EPs, splits and original feature film soundtracks. Among their discography, one opus in particular has JB’s (second half of the duo) heart set on : « Radio Ape » 2004, that made them the first French band to release an album on Planet-Mu, label of Mike Paradinas, and hence enabled them to break into the internationale scene. Then came time for collaborations. Few bands can boast about having worked with artists from so diverse backgrounds : MF Doom, Bomb the Bass, Young Jeezy, Jon Spencer, Dose One, Faris Badwan, Krazy Baldhead, Pierre Richard, Otto Von Schirach, Bernard Fevre, or even Christ first member of Boards of Canada ( and many more ). dDamage brothers were particularly proud to have brought together such different artists, to have crushed all these styles, while always preserving their unique sound. In this crazy whirlwind, they were lacking one thing since « Radio Ape » : a new album focused on themselves, Fred & JB. And here it is, it will be the final one, « Brother vs Brother », they have composed it together, together until the last note.
On the occasion of this release next autumn, Jb Hanak will present a live set, in a hard electro vein, at the crossroads of EBM, indus, dancefloor electro and punk vocals, surfing on a tsunami of digital effects. Radically effective, his powerful set will feature dDamage new album and trace several years of the band’s carreer.
