This Friday, February 18, at the Lino Ventura Theater in Nice, come and experience rock “made in Nice” with Pascal Mono and the Dum Dum Boys!
On the occasion of the release of his second album “ROUGE NUIT,” on the NDH Music label, available for download on all platforms since September 2010, PASCAL MONO will be performing in concert in Nice. He invited the DUM DUM BOYS to share the stage for a memorable rock evening at the Lino Ventura Theater.
PASCAL MONO
On stage and on the road since 1997, right after finishing his literary studies, MONO quickly booked opening acts and memorable encounters: Massive Attack on the European “Mezzanine” tour, Eagle Eye Cherry, Bono (U2), Jacno, Mathieu Chédid, Jean Fauque (writer for Alain Bashung, among others)…
In 1999, he joined the Bordeaux collective Spina. They created “Togué” (The Thorn, in Japanese), an electro ballet with Butoh choreographer Carlotta Ikeda. The show toured worldwide until 2003: “A storm of beauty” – Libération.
In 2005, TV scouts from TF1 spotted him singing in a bar in Nice and offered him a pact with the devil: Star Academy. He became “the interstellar anomaly in the midst of tissue paper pop stars” – Technik’art.
In 2006, he signed with Universal and released “Intact,” his first album. “An instantly recognizable sound. Unique” – Patrick Eudeline –
Rock’n’Folk.
For his second album, Mono went fully independent with self-production. “Rouge Nuit” was released in September 2010: Stephan Blaëss handled the production (Brian Eno, Fela Kuti). Mono marked his maturity while signing with No Direction Home (NDH), a label created by Dominique Misslin (Mano Negra, NTM). “Rouge Nuit” features eleven uncompromising tracks: bubbling, volcanic, mature, introspective.

DUM DUM BOYS
Here they are again! Unknown to the general public but appreciated by connoisseurs, the DDB have been pursuing a musical adventure in the indie circuit since the mid-80s. In their current configuration (K.Badi “Soulsheik” Vocals / O.Nemejanski “Bratch” Guitar / D.Balducci “Memphis mao” Guitar / E.Fostinelli “Guy Pop” Bass / Joey D’Oriano Drums), the Dum Dum Boys are preparing the release of a new album with 11 original tracks for early 2011.
As the late André Malraux once said: “The 21st century will be black, round, spin at 45 rpm with a hole in the middle or will not be.” In this grand debate stirring the music business, refusing to choose between the plague (the CD), the cholera (the MP3), and the last rites (downloading), the Dum Dum Boys will opt for vinyl in 2011!!
Indestructible… unsinkable… indomitable… incorruptible… inflexible… imperishable even, from their beginnings they decided to adopt the only possible attitude for a rock band: to totally ignore reality. They have always evolved in their own parallel world, a world where one does not have to choose between noise and melody, between roots and modernity, a world where Garage is not synonymous with Grévin Wax Museum and Rock’n’Roll is not Reactionary Revival, where one can be possessed by faith without being a Guardian of the Temple, integral without being an integrist.
