Roughly seven years after the band's split, happened what many, many people has been waiting for long, with much hope : Nique Dindon Caramel Bonbon is currently, finally, publishing some songs.
Yes, yes, until now their music only traveled onto antiquated MiniDisc format, among band members exclusively. But now these days are over, and the audience at large, from the hardcore fans to the total newbies, is now given an opportunity to get its hand on their recordings.
Nique Dindon Caramel Bonbon saga has been short, intense, historic. Maybe the greatest saga of all time, and even Gil Gamesh would agree, I think. They achieved a total and definitive shift for history of music. Beyond this, history of culture. Beyond this, history of mankind.
During about two or three years of noise and fury, Ism (bass and voice), Mika (guitar and vox) and Yo (drums) just wiped out everyone. I was lucky enough to be among the crowd for several of their gigs. When I pushed the "play" button on my computer's screen, I've been instantly taken back to atemporal fields, in the land of eternity, in the land of the essence of music.
Being raw, straightforward, while extremely subtle, being as innovative as strongly rooted into the greatest rock influences, this power trio changed the world forever. It's a slow and sure move, it's only the beginning. Over years, you'll hear about them, more and more often, you can be sure. I don't know how much time it will take but someday, this band will simply be over the top.
They operated in the Lyon area, in France. The band's member all came from a small town in the far suburbs. Mika and Yo are friends since childhood, and used to jam together for years before they actually decided to really start something.
At this time, I used to meet them quite often. They told me they were looking for a bass player. I told them about Ism, who is an old friend, who had no band at this time, and who was luckily playing bass since a recent era. He was already sort of local hero at this time, especially for having been a member of Euh, a band that was probably the best one in the local scene just a few years before.
Ism met Yo and Mika. They liked each other's approach to music. The band was born.
Then the story began. As I said, it only lasted for an handful of years, but it's an intense story, and telling it correctly would require much research. I won't tell their story now. Now I will give you a link. Be patient the page takes time to load. Download their song from Wumzle Radio's website. DO IT NOW ! For now there's two. Expect more in the near future.
