A Breton Australian Tour 2013 has been announced, with the band headed to Australia this month for Melbourne Music Week the British group have now confirmed headline sideshows.
Breton is film. Breton is sound. Breton is about audio and audio-visual autopsy; deconstructing and re-assembling popular culture
Born from the squat party and DIY culture in South London and forming as an Artist Collective where they produce films, remixes and music of their own, Breton have formed a fine synergy between audio and visual pursuits. Doing their own thing, their own way.
Breton’s debut album, Other People’s Problems, is a compelling mix of cut and chopped pop songs, unsettling hip hop and heavy electronica – the bass judders with the insistence of dub, fractured percussion and frenzied guitar, all meddling around Roman Rappak’s drawled vocals.
Breton live is an intense, hypnotic experience, as the band clad in black hoods perform to a backdrop of their films – the perfect marriage of sound and timing and rhythm and visuals – influenced by such heroes as Jonathan Glazer, Mike Leigh, and Chris Cunningham
Based in a converted Kennington bank, turned creative hub where the five members now live and work, Breton are a full-time music and film-making outfit. BretonLABS is the band’s remix and music video-making moniker that has seen them work with the likes of Local Natives, Tricky, Alt J, Temper Trap and even Lana Del Ray.
Don’t miss your chance to catch a unique audio/visual experience as Breton play Melbourne Music Week sideshows this month.
