    Cheval De Frise
    The Redneck Manifesto
    Daemien Frost
    Thursday 13/02/03 Whelans (Dublin) (12.50 Euro, 8 pm)

    Cheval De Frise formed in 1998.

    Stemming from the French post-hardcore scene, these two musicians have since acquired an empirical and sincere technique. Their compositions reveal a contained, almost baroque sense of urgency, restrained by determination and rhythmical rigor. A bee trapped in a bottle? An astonishing duet/duel comprising of amplified acoustic guitar and drums, they develop a unique,
    peculiar and scheming "avant-rock" musical language.

    There was a time when the modernity of certain demanding rock music was suddenly considered obsolete. Since the market wanted at all cost to create an artificial "generation gap", those courageous (and modern) explorators were sent to hell. Thus, they are still moving, as Racaille demonstrated when he composed the music for the Decouflé opening of the olympic winter games, or as the active Cutler on his multiple frontlines. Here, with a certain impertinence, they re-compose (sounds, lives, stories.). AMI commissioned them, hoping for their best juice. And the "generation balloon" suddenly deflates, as the duet Cheval de Frise plays, probably one of the most promising rising-stars of the "young" French rock, hyper-composed, hyper-fuzzed, bared to the bone, cutting away connections with the greasy jazz-rock, and talking (loud and clear) the same language as Cutler-and-friends (even though the accents ...)
    [Festival Mimi 2002 (Marseille, France) Soiré cutler/Greeves/Racaille & Cheval De Frise]

    CHEVAL DE FRISE s/t (Sonore) CD
    French duo of acoustic (but not quiet!) guitar and drums that play in an instrumental 'post-rock' vein -- a shorthand description would be to call them a cross between Don Caballero and Gastr del Sol (but better!). Complex, dynamic, and full of that delicate post-rock beauty...although we can't figure out why bands like this, with musicians this good, don't play metal instead. On the same label that brought us the last two Ruins releases.
    [Aquarius records]

    Releases & Tours:

    Their first album was released Sonore Records (Alboth!, Ruins, etc.). Split 7" with Roselicoeur on RuminanCe (Oxbow, Chevreuil, Red Crayola, etc.).
    New album to be released in January 2003 "Fresques sur les parois secretes du crane" on RuminanCe.
    1 track on the "House of stairs" (UK) compilation (with Sweep the leg Johnny, American Heritage, Guapo, etc.)

    Have toured France, Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Czech Republic and Belgium. Starting a six week tour of Europe in 2003, 4 weeks alone and 2 weeks in Scandinavia and Germany with Gorge Trio (ex. Colossamite - Skin Graft).

    Shipping News began in the Fall of 1996 when Jeff Mueller and Jason Noble wrote and recorded music for the NPR program "This American Life". They had previously worked together in the seminal post-hardcore band Rodan, based in Louisville, Kentucky. When Rodan split up in 1995, Jeff Mueller went on to play in June of 44 whilst Jason Noble formed the chamber ensemble Rachel's.
    Like Rodan, both of these bands have garnered critical acclaim in many lands.

    In Spring of 1997, Kyle Crabtree began collaborating with them. The recording project became a full band, its voice dropped, legs got hairy and started reading Henry Miller. They recorded their first album, Save Everything, in a shotgun house in Louisville and then finished in Chicago with Bob Weston on deck. Released in September of 1997, it was met with much enthusiasm and occasional disgust. A split EP with the band MetroSchifter soon followed in May of 1998. In Autumn of 1998 they traveled to Catania, Sicily to participate in the Mappe Arts Festival....playing outside in a harbour at night, history gushing out with dust and sound, looking around amazed at how music travels, amazed at everything....

    For the next two and a half years, Jeff Kyle and Jason set about writing their next album, Very Soon, and in Pleasant Company. Then, in Spring of 2000 they set up shop in an old dairy warehouse in Louisville (Lucky Anchor Studios) to document the new songs. Kyle, Jeff, Jason and long time friend and collaborator Christina Files, did the final mixes in Boston at Sonics Studios just as a fleet of 122 Tall Ships entered the harbour just after the Fourth of July holiday. The band followed this up with several tours of the US and Europe, culminating in an appearance at the Shellac curated All Tomorrows Parties in 2002.

    During this time the band individually recorded three EPs. These EPs were treated almost as solo projects with no discussion taking place between the members of the band as to what they were doing. The EPs were given very limited releases over the course of a 12 months on Quaterstick records. They were then brought together, along with a couple of unreleased tracks, as an
    album "Three-Four" to be released (also on Quarterstick) in February 2003. The band will be touring across Europe around the time of the release.

    Shipping News appropriated their name from the acclaimed novel 'The Shipping News' by E.Annie Proulx.
