Foggy Girls Club's Merry Best Of 2014 - Die große Liste

And so here it is, our " große " list for the end of the year.
Right in time to embellish your Xmas presents hunt and slip one or two very interesting pieces in your rotten Vans, tired Santiags, pierced and perforated Converses, dirty socks and Blue suede shoes under the tree.
So yes, once again it's unreadable but it's full of sincere love, joy and faith in humanity. Once again, again, no " top list " because it's too hard, too cold outside and the planet is in danger, but we swear on our mother's heads that you can pick, buy, listen any of those EP's, singles, albums, because they really touched and moved us deep in our groopies' hearts.

So a big "thanks" and many kisses to all the artists, bands, labels, roadies, venues, bars, clubs, record shops, DJ's, writers and well-advised audience.

Have all a nice Christmas/NYE time and let's meet again next year, we'll be less lazy, we swear. Keep faith.

Le Foggy Girls Club.


La voilà, notre " große " liste de fin d’année, pile poil pour agrémenter vos cadeaux de Noël et glisser un ou deux présents enfin intéressants dans vos, Vans pourries, Santiags fatiguées, Converses trouées, chaussettes sales et Blue suede shoes, sous le sapin.
Alors oui, c’est toujours illisible mais c’est plein d’amour, de joie et de foi en l’humanité. Encore une fois pas de top car c’est trop dur, il fait trop froid et la planète est en danger, mais nous vous assurons sur la tête de nos mères que vous pouvez piocher, acheter, ou juste écouter n’importe lequel de ces albums, Ep's, singles, car ils nous ont vraiment touché au plus profond de nos petits cœurs de rockeurs en cette année 2014.

Un gros merci et des bisous à tous les artistes, groupes, labels, disquaires, organisateurs de concerts, salles, bars, bars sales, clubs, plumes et public avisés pour cette belle année musicale.

Bonnes fêtes de fin d’année, on se retrouve l’an prochain, promis on sera moins feignants et d’ici là, gardez la foi.

The Madcaps – Foggyview (english)

Version francaise ici.


It’s been already a while that we wanted to talk about the Madcaps so as they’re going on the road for a France / Switzerland tour, we thought it was the perfect time to introduce you to them. The Madcaps make me want to compare the city of Rennes as a true cradle of rock of nowadays. After cutting their teeth in several other bands, the four fellows - Thomas, Rémi, Bastien and Vincent - made their way to a 60’s garage rock style which can remind us the Nuggets’comps era. But beware, no boring revival plagiarism here, as these guys know how to mix their different influences from punk to pop (yes, pop!) to deliver us some delicious and refined songs leaving no space to any bum note. Thomas, better known as the Madcaps’Dad, kindly answered to our questions and we’re definitely not mad about the others, who are often busy to make their guitars spit out in their other bands such as Rigg (for Remi), Soul! (for Bastien) and Kaviar Special (for Vincent).

Their brand new tour will start on the 23rd of October with a first concert in Caen (Le Bocal) and you can’t miss them if they play nearby, as they are sharing the scene with their buddies Kaviar Special. This is also the occasion to have a special thought for Vincent who plays in both bands and we pray for him not to die on stage...





"We already released a 7’ on Howlin Banana Records (April 2014) and as we wanted to keep the banana mood and as we had an extra song from this recording session, it will be featured on a Banana Juice Records upcoming comp, which will be out at the end of the year. Then, for you to know, we recorded our first LP last summer which will be released in January (2015) via Howlin Banana and Beast Records. Suffice it to say that it would be the beginning of a big success! Bring the girls and lets own America !"

Tour dates with Kaviar Special :

23/10/14 - Caen (FR) - Bocal
24/10/14 - Paris - Olympic W/ Travel Check
25/10/14 - Genève (SWI) Le Cabinet
26/10/14 - Basel (SWI)- Archiv
28/10/14 - Lugano (SWI) - Li!
29/10/14 - Kreuzlingen (SWI) - Horstklub
30/10/14 - Nîmes (Fr) - Bada Bing
31/10/14 - Toulouse (Fr) - Amanita Muscaria - w/ Volage
01/11/14 - Nantes (Fr) - Le Chien Stupide



x What is your definition of rock and roll or music ?

Seriously, is it a joke? Why not asking „What is love“? Please ask me some precise questions then I could answer correctly. But alright, as I’m a gentleman, I’ll answer anyway. Music and Rock and Roll are basically essential things I couldn’t live without. It’s kind of the cheese, the red wine, the air, the water, the love and the sun. And you, what is your definition of love ?


x A picture ?



This is an exclusive footage of our next video. Yeah, we had so much fun dressed up as pandas and messing around. Especially during the scene with the zebras, giraffes and orang utans...


x Worst nightmare ?

Personally, I never have bad dreams. Life is cool babe, peace out!
Alright, the last time might have been when I was 12, after one of the most dreadful episode of X Files. It was something creepy, taking place in a shithole in USA with some consanguineous people with horrific faces, like the sons were copulating with their armless and legless mom who was living on a trolley behind a bed. So yeah, this kind of nice things...


x The place you enjoy the most ?

The Helsinki Klub in Zurich. For now, it is the best place we ever played at. Perfect venue, perfect host, delicious burgers, unlimited drinks, crazy audience, 60’s dancefloor till 6 in the morning, old school photo booth, night at the hotel... like in a dream.


x 3 albums :

- The Human Expression - Love at Psychedelic Velocity
An obscure californian garage band which existed only between 1966 and 1967. It’s pure psychedelic, dark and tortured rock and roll. One of the best albums of its kind.

- The Frowning Clouds - Whereabouts
This is the 2nd LP of these Australians from Geelong and was released in december 2013. This is not strictly 60’s garage like on their 1st record. They’re still in that mid-tempo kind of stuff but this time but it is more groovy, more pop, with some very catchy melodies and a lot of great psychedelic songs.

- The Kinks - Arthur or the Fall & Decline of The British Empire
We listened to this little wonder the other day while we were on the way to Reims to play at the Back in Time Festival. This is a concept album / soundtrack originally composed for a play which was supposed to air on english TV but finally never did. But anyway, this is clearly one of the best albums in history. The Kinks are on top and they won’t go higher. « You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher » to sing along to « Shangri La », my favorite song of the world (all categories)…




x A quote :

This is a quote from the end of a monologue, from Jean-Pierre Marielle in the movie “Les Galettes de Pont Aven” where he’s praising the ass of Marie and this is brilliant :
«... Oh il est magnifique. Je vais le peindre en vert, en bleu, en rouge, en jaune, aaah j’y passerai des jours, des nuits, des mois s’il le faut. Ahhh Nom de dieu de bordel de merde, ah tu me rends dingue, tu me rends fou. Ah je suis fou. Oooh pose toi bien là. Ooh ton cul, ton cul, c’est mon génie. »

The Madcaps – Foggyview

English version here.


Ca fait déjà un bout de temps qu’on veut vous parler des Madcaps, alors on profite de leur tournée Franco-Suisse avec les Kaviar Special pour vous les présenter. Les Madcaps me donnent envie de comparer Rennes à un véritable berceau du rock. Après avoir fait leurs preuves dans plusieurs groupes, c’est un rock garage résolument sixties qui rappelle les fameuses compiles Nuggets que nous balancent Thomas, Rémi, Bastien et Vincent. Mais attention, pas de revival relou, ces types ont su mixer leurs diverses influences allant du punk à la pop (sisi) pour nous livrer des morceaux pointus qui ne laissent aucune place aux fausses notes. Thomas, le papa Madcaps, a bien voulu répondre à nos questions foggyview ; on n'en veut pas au reste du groupe surement occupés à faire cracher leurs guitares au sein de leurs autres groupes, Rigg pour Remi, Soul! pour Bastien et Kaviar Special pour Vincent. Ces gars sont trop forts.

La nouvelle tournée qui débute le 23 octobre avec une première date au Bocal à Caen vous donnera une fois de plus l’occasion d’aller remuer vos fesses non pas devant un groupe, mais deux puisqu’ils partent avec leurs potes, les Kaviar Special. Pensée tendre pour Vincent qui joue dans les deux, ne décède pas sur scène, bisous.





" Nous avons sorti un 45 tours 4 titres chez Howlin Banana en avril 2014, et pour rester dans la banane et sur cette session d'enregistrement de décembre 2013, il nous restait un titre en rab qui sortira sur une compilation 45t chez Banana Juice d'ici la fin de l'année. Et pour finir, nous avons enregistré un disque cet été, il sortira en janvier 2015 conjointement sur Howlin Banana et Beast Records, et là autant dire que c'est le succès assuré, à nous l'Amérique et les p'tites anglaises! "

Les dates de tournée avec Kaviar Special :

23/10/14 - Caen (FR) - Bocal
24/10/14 - Paris - Olympic W/ Travel Check
25/10/14 - Genève (SWI) Le Cabinet
26/10/14 - Basel (SWI)- Archiv
28/10/14 - Lugano (SWI) - Li!
29/10/14 - Kreuzlingen (SWI) - Horstklub
30/10/14 - Nîmes (Fr) - Bada Bing
31/10/14 - Toulouse (Fr) - Amanita Muscaria - w/ Volage
01/11/14 - Nantes (Fr) - Le Chien Stupide



x Votre définition du rock and roll ou de la musique ?

Nan mais c'est quoi cette blague, et pourquoi pas "qu'est ce que l'amour?" pendant que tu y es. Pose-moi des questions précises et j'y répondrai correctement. Bon, mais comme je suis sympa, je vais quand même répondre à ta question, la musique et le rock n roll par extension ce sont des trucs essentiels, sans lesquels je ne pourrais vivre, un peu comme le fromage, le vin rouge, l'air, l'eau, l'amour et le soleil. Et toi, c'est quoi ta définition de l'amour?


x Une image ?



En exclusivité, une image de notre prochain clip. Ouhlala qu'est qu'on a rigolé déguisés en panda à faire les marioles. Les scènes avec les zèbres, les girafes et les orangs-outans étaient pas mal non plus.


x Pire cauchemar ?

Moi je ne fais jamais de cauchemars, la vie c'est cool meuf, peace out!
Bon, la dernière fois, je devais avoir 12 ans, c'était après l'épisode le plus effrayant de la série X files, un truc ignoble dans un coin paumé des US avec des consanguins avec des gueules horribles, les fils s'accouplaient avec leur mère sans bras ni jambes et vivant sur un chariot à roulettes sous un lit, ce genre de trucs chouettes.


x Un endroit préféré ?

The Helsinki Klub à Zurich. Pour l'instant le meilleur endroit où nous ayons joué. Taille parfaite, accueil hors pair, burgers délicieux, boissons à volonté, public endiablé, dance floor sixties jusqu'au petit matin, photomaton 4 photos noir & blanc, nuit à l'hôtel... le rêve


x 3 albums :

- The Human Expression - Love at Psychedelic Velocity
Un groupe obscure de garage californien qui n'a sévit qu'entre 1966 et 1967, du Rock'n'Roll Psychédélique, sombre et torturé d'excellente facture. Un des meilleurs albums du genre.

- The Frowning Clouds - Whereabouts
Deuxième album des Australiens de Geelong sorti en décembre 2013. Ce n'est plus du garage 60's stricto sensus comme sur leur premier opus, ils donnent toujours dans le mid tempo, mais cette fois ci plus groovy et plus pop avec des mélodies sacrement accrocheuses et pas mal de titres psychés pas dégeu.

- The Kinks - Arthur or the Fall & Decline of The British Empire
Nous avons écouté cette petite merveille l'autre jour sur la route vers Reims pour aller jouer au festival Back In Time. Album concept / Bande originale d'une pièce de théâtre pour la télévision britannique qui ne verra cependant jamais le jour. Qu'importe, c'est tout simplement un des meilleurs disques de l'histoire. Les Kinks sont à leur sommet et n'iront pas plus haut pour reprendre les paroles de Shangri La, sommet lui aussi de pop musique de l'album, ma chanson préférée du monde toutes catégories confondues.




x Une citation :

Une citation qui s'apparente plus à une tirade dont je ne prendrai que la fin d'ailleurs, celle où Jean-Pierre Marielle vente le cul de Marie dans les Galettes de Pont Aven, c'est du grand art :
« Oh il est magnifique. Je vais le peindre en vert, en bleu, en rouge, en jaune, aaah j’y passerai des jours, des nuits, des mois s’il le faut. Ahhh Nom de dieu de bordel de merde, ah tu me rends dingue, tu me rends fou. Ah je suis fou. Oooh pose toi bien là. Ooh ton cul, ton cul, c’est mon génie. »

Foggy Girls Club's Merry Best Of 2013 - Die große Liste

2013 is coming to an end and, as an outlet, we have the impression that permission is given to speak freely. So, for this wonderful year we would like to thank:
The yelling neighbors, the bookers that forgets to book, the whole french (maybe worldwide) political landscape, One Direction, the conjuncture, the french anti-gay marriage activists, the breaking strings, the ripped drum skins, the brain drain, the dumbs that remain, the japanese government for Fukishima, Kim Jung Un, the NSA, that big guy between you and the stage, the yelling shorties... we might forget some, but well, all those or what's keeping us angry and willing to mess all up, stir up troubles like we know how.

However, and a tiny bit more seriously, we come up with a huge almost unreadable list of what we listened to and loved during the year (with probably some left behind, and we're sorry for that). No "top", no chart, because it's impossible, but a list of a hundred albums, EP's and singles that we strongly recommend you to buy blind or at least listen to.

And since we're here, we would like to give a big kiss on the cheek to all of you artists, bands, labels, record stores, gigs organizers, venues, bars, worldwide krabers and to the informed audience for this great year.

Happy New Year, keep the faith and our devoted thoughts to Mister Lou Reed.

The Foggy Girls Club.



2013 touche à sa fin et comme un exutoire, on a l'impression que c'est le moment de se dire les choses. Alors pour cette belle année on voudrait remercier :
les voisins mécontents, les tourneurs qui ne font pas tourner, les manifs pour tous, l'ensemble de la classe politique française, les One Direction, la conjoncture, les cordes qui pètent, les peaux qui cassent, la fuite des cerveaux, la sédentarité des cons, le gouvernement japonais et Fukushima, Kim Jung Un, la NSA, ce mec trop grand entre vous et la scène, les petits qui s'en plaignent etc... et tous ceux qu'on oublie forcément, qui nous donneront toujours à tous l'envie de foutre le bordel, le souk, le dawa.

Trêve de plaisanterie, nous vous avons concocté une grosse liste illisible mais pleine d’amour de tout ce qu'on a écouté et adoré (il y a surement des oublis, on s'en excuse). Pas de top parce que c'est prise de tête, mais une liste d'une centaine d'albums, d'EPs et de singles qu’on vous conseille assurément d’acheter, ou au moins écouter, les yeux fermés.

Puisqu'on est là, on va quand même glisser un chaleureux poutou à tous les artistes, groupes, labels, disquaires, organisateurs de concerts, salles, bars, Krabers du monde entier et le public avisé pour cette belle année musicale.

Bonnes fêtes de fin d’année, gardez la foi et nos pensées les plus dévouées à Monsieur Lou Reed.

Le Foggy Girls Club.

Kaviar Special - Foggyview (english)

pic V Strauss

Version française ici

No hood, but fishing nets for Howlin Banana and Azbin Records, at the end of this year. In talented fishermen they realize a very nice catch, as well as catching our attention, in the coolest manner, the Kaviar Special. 
Straight from the breeding pool that is Rennes (french city in Brittany), as well as their basin brethren (Catfight, Rigg, Blackjag Davy, Bikini George, Sapin…), we could have assumed their sound to be delicate, as the delicacy they’re named after… That’s not really what’s happening. Still, and « Oh joy ! », it will proudly take place on your table, between the « foie gras » and the oysters, for the french here at least, on the christmas table. Ok, maybe not on the table, but for sure in your ears. They went through enough bullshit all year long, not to reward them with something good. 

« Special », that they are. More than just torturing the fuzz and the good vibes like no one else, we feast on their melodies like Dating A Slut, Summer, Shirley, Ptit Cul or Sabadidon ( we could easily feast on all of them actually, because much more than being just « good » they sum up everything we like about the rock scene these days). 

Precious, also, for it’s been so long we were waiting for something wild and dirty out of the capital of Brittany. That, my friends, is done. And we are happy. And we are filled, but not enough to pass on devouring this delicious white vinyl coming out on the 10th of December.
Get it and listen to it below:




Adrien, Kaviar bassist of the band kindly answered to some of our questions...



« We started in the beginning of 2012. We four, were living together in a house in Rennes, Brittany, and used to rehearse in the garage (we’re playing garage, the real one). We’re influenced by punk and sixties music but especially the modern era like Burger Record, In The Red Records etc… »


x What is your definition of rock and roll or music ? or describe how do you feel when you're doing music?

When you keep on listening to bands, and going to gigs, it makes you want to create something , to write a song, to put some arrangements here and there.
It just depends on one or two bands and then it click, you’re getting into it, you compose, you play, where you can.
For me, Rock and Roll is the 50’s, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley etc…
Today it doesn’t really mean anything. Like a tattoo of Johnny Hallyday is rock and rollish…


x A picture?



Los Saicos. Four Peruvians who released a megastylish album in 1964. Lost in deepest Peru, nobody really understands from what they could put out this so dirty and wild sound. They only were influenced by british bands from the 60’s but I really think they influenced a lot of people. Demolicion ! is an incredible song where they explain that they want to blow up the noisy train station next to their place that keeps them from rehearsing properly. This is definitely an anthem.


x Worst nightmare ?

When we were touring last summer, driving at like 80 mph on the highway, the back doors of our van suddenly opened… The trunk was full with all our instruments and stuff. So we stopped on the emergency lane, freaked out, and fortunately there was just one guitar missing ! It was 3 in the morning, the highway was desert and we hurried to find grab the guitar back before a car would run over it. Like a miracle, it was intact even not out of tune… In my head, I was already seeing all our amps crushed on the road and a big pile-up… That would have been a fucking nightmare…


x The place you enjoy the most?

« Cocoon », it’s a studio, not really far from Rennes. We’re hanging out there to record, rehearse, jam, sip some cocktails and juggle. Laid back.


x 3 albums:

It’s really hard to only pick 3…

- Bare Wires - Idle Dreams
Matthew Melton is a genius, tyrannical but genius.

- Ramones - Ramones 
The pure and authentic energy. This album is incredible. I never heard anything else that would hit me like that. Sniffing some glue and not the slightest guitar solo.

 - Harlem - Hippies
Harlem is the kind of band which makes you confident. They have amazing melodies, you can feel that there is no brain racking, it’s so spontaneous, it’s beautiful. It makes you want to chill with them. I think they split, that´s a shame.

- Dead Ghosts - Can't get no

- Ty Segall, his life, his work…








x A quote:

"J'ai couru jusqu'à quand ce que je pouvais" Franck Ribéry
