TECHNICOLOR NOIR .. Noir as in « Film Noir », Movie buff, band songwriter & guitar player Astro’s favorite film genre. And Technicolor as in « Technicolor Dreams » but, Noir. « Technicolor Noir » is the sub-genre where the Film Noir is shot in color… Hollywood colors! But, the story of the movie remains dark… which should be telling concerning our music versus our lyrics.
A relatively new project, Technicolor Noir are from Paris’ underground garage-rock scene; members feature :
Astro, founder & lead guitarist, a veteran garage-rocker who previously played in the Tribe, Bang!, Scope, Bouton Rouge and numerous short-lived bands in-between…
Eric, another veteran, but of the Paris indie pop-rock scene, mostly as ex.drummer and bassist in touring underground French singin’ Power-Pop band, « La Moutarde Me Monte au Nez », with a record of 4 LPs; he now plays drums in Technicolor Noir…
Yves, the original bass player who previously split after recording the group’s first 45 on “Dig The Fuzz’s Singles Club” limited issues is now back in the fold. He still leads, on the side (on guitar & vocals), his own Paris garage-rock band “Les Guillotines”, who had the privilege of being the first record released by the French indie label “Requiem Pour Un Twister” on their early subsidiary “Croque Macadam”. That label has since issued some records by “Triptides”, “The Proper Ornaments” or “The Young Sinclairs”…
and Seva, direct from Russia, lead guitar and co-founder of the Karovas Milkshake, one of two of the most proeminent Russian garage-rock bands (the other being close friends, the Thunderbeats! ); he plays second guitar, alternating rhythm and leads, he sings lead on some tracks too.
There you have the NEWEST line-up of this garage Folk-Rock project which started out as « Cloud Pilots » in 2013…
