ABOUT GARCON TAUPE
Garçon Taupe's music is heavily influenced by the electro sound
of the 1980s, incorporating vintage synths and drum computers as well
as cheap software and toy keyboards. Since 2001 Garçon Taupe
occasionally plays gigs in the Netherlands. In 2002, two Taupe tracks
appeared on Narrominded
compilation album "We're Running Out Of West", that also featured
tracks of artists like Living Ornaments, Pete Namlook, Duplo Remote,
Bedouin Ascent and Hydrus. In 2008 he contributed a track to Kubus &
BangBang's "Learning Curve Remixed" album released on Top
Notch.
From 2002 to 2007, Garçon Taupe was bassplayer in noiserock
band Gone Bald,
a band that has released eight albums on a.o. Interstellar
Records and Narrominded,
and played tons of shows in underground venues throughout Europe.
Zo brengt Garçon Taupe een wild dansend publiek op de been.
Gebogen over een tafel vol keyboards en mix-apparatuur brengt de Amsterdammer
heftige eenmans-electro, die goed aanslaat. 3voor12/Arnhem-Nijmegen
Taupe's set was te kort, naar de zin van het publiek. Dat bleek toen
hij het podium wilde verlaten. Onder luid gejoel zocht hij dus zijn
plekje achter het keyboard weer op. 3voor12/Groningen
