Release Notes:
Performed : June 28, 2008 (Evreux, France)
Energetic French indie rock combo Hushpuppies originally
started out as Likyds, a locally known group that
bandmembers Olivier Jourdan (vocals), Cyrille Sudreaud
(guitars, backing vocals), Wilfried Jourdan (keyboards),
and Jean Pompidor (drums) formed in their native town of
Perpignan. In the early 2000s the kids moved to Paris,
where they were joined by an old friend, Guillame Le Guen,
who the band referred to as "the best bass player in
Bordeaux" -- and thus Hushpuppies were born. Equally
fascinated by the wild unpredictability of punk rock,
angular melancholy of post-punk, hypnotic precision of
Krautrock, and plain good old noise-making of rock music
in general, Hushpuppies allied themselves with singer and
musician Benjamin Diamond (best known as the performer of
Stardust's "Music Sounds Better with You," a big European
dance hit of 1998), who was also conveniently the owner of
the independent label Diamondtraxx. The label issued their
debut record, The Trap, in 2005; it was released in more
then 20 countries and became an independent hit in France,
selling more than 20,000 copies. In support of the record,
Hushpuppies played more than 100 gigs all across Europe,
as well as in Russia and Japan. Their sophomore record,
Silence Is Golden, recorded with producer Peter Deimel
(known for his work with the Kills and dEUS), was released
in 2007 and preceded by the single "I Want My Kate Moss."
