Coming Soon

The second of our Split Series was once again done by our friends at Kidam. They took a young and fresh French band, ’Coming Soon’, accross a cemetary and into public toilets in Paris to play their songs.

•  

Coming soon is made of Howard Hughes, Billy Jet Pilot, Ben Lupus, Alex Banjo & Leo Bear Creek. They’re from annecy and their age goes from 13 to 25. Their influences go from Hank Williams to Nick Cave, Moldy Peaches 2000 to Johnny thunders, Leonard Cohen, Silver Jews, Bob Dylan, Beat Happening... In this band, everyone write songs. Coming soon has been in existence for a long time but the current formation is a fusion of a few ones that you can check in the links section. All those bands gathered once before to record Kimya Dawson’s “Antsy Pants” distributed on Planet X.

Those films were made on February 14th, the day they played their first Paris show at the Pop-In... A show of such quality that amazed everybody there, and for the regular clients, they hadn’t seen that since Jeff & Jack Lewis or Adam Green years before... A show that was of course too short so we decided to take it away to République. What You’ve Left Behind was filmed on the same day at the Pere-Lachaise cemetery.

Coming soon just got signed by a french label that will put out their album “New Grids” in September. Meanwhile a cool EP vinyl is available on sale at their shows.

They will be playing La Boule Noire on April 14th at the occasion of a Kidam night with Seb Martel, Denis Lavant, Vic Moan, Gaspard Claus, Julien Cottereau...
