One can listen to The Shoppings' music like one reads
a short-story collection that relates the adventures of a "too"
trendy youth. As meetings go by, the semi-fictive, semi-real,
half
angel, half beast characters get and come together, seduce
each other, love or hate each other. They spend a lot of money
dressing them up, going out every days, frequenting only the
trendy places, fantasizing about fashion stars’ life,
living through the clubbing pages of glossy magazines.
The Shoppings
is not only punk, not only rap, not really rock, not completely
electro. The band is like an I-pod full
of music that constitutes a sonorous backdrop of its time.
So, to sum up: humour, abuses, name dropping, luxury brands
and beautiful girls.
The Shoppings is composed of David Lavaysse
(alias I&Fused)
and Pascal Monfort. Pascal writes and sings on soundtracks
that David composes and produces. As a multi-instrumentalist
musician, David already released 4 albums under the pseudonyms
Dave’s Infusion, I N Fused and more recently I&Fused.
Pascal, as for him, is a fashion-history teacher, fashion-trends
finder for a famous international brand and the editor of
the magazine Yummy.
The Shoppings is the meeting of two worlds described with
humour.
On stage, Mattias Mimoun (Scénario Rock, Contrast)
on the keyboard joins the band. He accompanies Pascal who
sings on David’s faultless riffs. The result is rock,
raw, funny and incisive. |
