MUSIQUE

Ancien porte-voix de Liquid Liquid, locomotive disco-punk des années 80, Sal P est l’un des meilleurs DJ’s actuel au rayon post-punk. L’afropunk électrique comme l’afrofunk cosmique n’ont aucun secret pour ce New-Yorkais toqué d’ESG ou Afrika Bambaataa qui vous aura fait suer la veille à La Gravière au côté d’Andy Votel.

Quant au duo britannique en vogue Double Agent 7, ils remontent le temps en plongeant dans les vinyles sixties en en extrayant des perles irrésistiblement dansantes du rock’n’roll, rhythm’n’blues, do wop, rockabilly et de la soul. A eux deux, Sal P et Double Agent promettent de faire exploser l’ultime soirée «Woaww» pour cette nuit de clôture de toutes les folies du Festival.

Double Agent 7 Double Agent 7’s mission is to play killer floorfillers from the 50s and 60s all exclusively on vinyl 45s.

DA7’S set cruises through early Rock and Roll, Rhythm and Blues, Do wop, Rockabilly and 60s Soul.

Their club night Mission 45 is currently in residence at the Brown Derby in Oval on the 1st Saturday of every month. It is also now touring at various clubs across Europe.

Their former night Nowhere to Run has gone to the great club in the sky but achieved cult status during its 1 year run.

They have also played at various Vintagerocknrollretrosoul hot spots in London including Buzzsaw Joint, Passing Clouds, The Nitty Gritty and are regulars at DJ Andy Smith’s Jam up Twist night. On their travels they have also played at various festivals including Glastonbury, Bandada and Castlepalooza.

Sal P Salvatore Principato (Sal P.) is best known as the vocalist and per- cussionist of seminal NYC minimalist- band Liquid Liquid, but his over three-decade career actually spans a wide variety of genres. Liquid Liquid (Scott Hartley, Richard McGuire, Salvatore Principato, Dennis Young) recorded and released four EPs for 99 Records: Li- quid Liquid, Successive Reflexes (both 1981), and Optimo (1983). The group’s successes included club hits such as Cavern, Bellhead and Optimo, in addition to sold-out concerts worldwide. Cavern became the basis of Grandmaster Flash’s rap classic, White Lines (Don’t Do It). The band released one final EP for 99 Records Dig We Must before both label and group disbanded in 1984. Immediately following, Principato along with Ken “Man” Caldei- ra formed the industrial-dub outfitFist of Facts, they toured Europe and released a 12-inch EP Fugitive Vesco in 1988 with Helvete Un- derground Records (Switzerland). Recently Claremont 56 (London) released a limited edition EP of formerly unreleased Fist Of Facts material. In the early 1990’s, Principato began producing words-and-music shows in downtown New York clubs and galleries, as well as an an- nual series of free outdoor shows on the piers on the Hudson River and a public access cable TV program called Voices/Vision based on these productions. He played drums with a rock band Liki Outhaus, collaborated with the late Zen Guitar author Phil Toshio Sudo in the experimental music project Avant Garbage, and also runs a downtown rehearsal studio collective. From the late 90’s to the mid-00’s, he produced many African and Caribbean music concerts under the “Univer-SAL” banner in New York City. Sal P.’s DJ efforts are as varied as his other musical projects and he has championed the turntables at venues in the U.S., Europe, South Africa and Brazil and is known for his blend of Afro-Latin, Rare Groove, and deep disco tracks.

2 Additionally, he has worked on remixes for various artists and labels around the world, and has collabo- rated with musicians and producers such as Dennis Young, Brennan Green, Dennis Citizen Kane, and the Neurotic Drum Band. He has also worked with Kaos, the Berlin-based DJ and producer, with Ectomorph’s BMG from Detroit and with Paul Murphy from Claremont 56 on his musical project, Bison. On May 19, 2008, Domino Records released a reissue of Liquid Liquid’s first three records along with previously unreleased bonus tracks in a newly designed package. Liquid Liquid occasionally reform to play a series of shows. From their initial reunion at The Knitting Fac- tory (Manhattan) in 2003, the band had appeared at Optimo (Glasgow), DEMF (Detroit), Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland), Domino Records 10th Anniversary at The Barbican (London), Primavera Sound (Barcelona), with the latest series of shows sharing the stage with LCD Soundsystem at Terminal 5 and concluding at Madison Square Garden (New York City). His cultural concerns include vegan cooking (along with hosting dinners that instruct in vegan food preparation), photography, graphic design and all topics political in perspective. Salvatore Principato was born on October 6, 1957 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. After high school, he moved to San Francisco where he started playing music, making short films, and writing poetry. In 1979, Principato returned to the East Coast moving to New York City, where he reunited with friends Richard McGuire and Scott Hartley, joining the group Liquid Idiot.
