Guest Zintar Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Poil and Ni. Two current and active bands out of France. I posted some of their stuff on the last version of this board and decided to post some here too. Why not. These guys are all incredible players that make some amazing musics. Silly, Fun, Beautiful, Brutal, all over the place. Not too long ago the all joined together and created a new band, PinioL, I fucking love these guys and hope maybe to turn some folks here on to some cool, current music. There are a shit-ton of amazing bands overseas currently, actually always have been . . . but, for some odd reason France really produces some of the most amazing progressive stuff over the past many years (for my tastes at least). Maybe it's something in the water. No idea. poiL are a trio, largely just keys, drums and bass. They also all sing. Sometimes the bassist plays guitar. The music is over the top and pretty fun, lots of twists and turns. They can also hold a pretty killer groove. Ni are the classic 2 guitar, drum and bass line-up. Despite that they actually sound pretty fresh. The interplay in between the two guitarists is fantastic. At times it reminds me of some other favorite acts, like Beefheart's Magic Band, The Hampton Grease Band, King Crimson. These guys are pretty heavy. I'll start with some PinioL. A live clip from late last year and then a promo clip for an upcoming tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
