Concert / Electro kraut, Disco & Funk Tussle + publicist + ddum spiro spero

After releasing 3 albums, innumerable 12-inch singles and touring the US with likeminded artists Yacht and Hot Chip (whose singer Alex Taylor is featured on the song ​“Titan”), TUSSLE from San Francisco have established themselves as one of the most rewarding innovative dance bands, combining both influences from experimental krautrock and catchy dance music. The band will finally return to Europe during the summer, just in time for the ​“Congés annulés” program. ​“PUBLICIST is the solo project of Sebastian Thomson, also a member of trans am, dead kids and weird war. His shows involve him playing drums in the middle of the dancefloor, not on stage…while I was trying to find words to describe the Publicist sound, I think I should just quote some of the comments from his myspace, where people are like ​‘your funk is from another planet’, ​‘cosmic sensation’ and ​‘full on instant dance party’ and that sums it up better than I ever could. About time for some space funk and putting the ​‘disco’ back into ​‘discodust’ after all ! … this is some of the freshest music I’ve found in ages.” – Discodust 10.15.08
