So what’s so special? Two things. First, the music and second, the attitude which informs it. The
combination is why there’s no one else quite like François Cambuzat and Gianna Greco. …Drone?
Industrial? Postpunk? Avantpunk? Doom? Aggressive-ambient-rock?
FeministIndustrialAvantRockWorldTechnoSauvagerie ? …You could just as easily categorise them as ‘world
music’ given that underneath the bludgeoning and exhilarating volume lie some intricate non-Western
rhythms and accents – Arabian nights and North African days… Pretty damn noisy world music, to be sure,
but it’s as good a label as any, if you need one. …Whatever the label, it’s definitely great.... So forget
music industry categories. Putan Club are loud. Putan Club are relentless and often heavy. Putan Club
play electric guitar and bass over deceptive drum rhythms and percussion tracks programmed with
exacting care. Putan Club herd and intimidate their audience, somehow without a trace of aggression.
Putan Club sing with throat-killing intensity. Putan Club sweat for their music. Putan Club’s music makes
it impossible to stand still. As for the attitude… in a post-performance/pre-encore ‘speech’, the
inimitable François R. Cambuzat explains their stance: eschewing record labels, ignoring the traditional
music media, steering clear of “boring” Northern Europe, playing up to 150 shows per year (many in
China, Asia, Africa…) and making it work quite nicely, thank you very much....a sense of immersion in
sound and attitude to which you can do nothing but submit. … And finally, at the risk of embarrassing
them both, in conversation François and Gianna also seem to be two of the most unassuming, charming
and lovely people I’ve ever met. In the 21st century, there’s no need for contrived unpleasantness or cult
of personality, just music that moves the listener expressed without restraint…
