smokefish

Smoke Fish is composed of 4 members, Shay (Guitar /Voice, Keyboards), an Israeli arrived in Brittany (France) in 2003 after backpacking around the world, Jonathan (Guitar, Keyboards), PY (Drums) and Jean Se (Bass). The quartet’s common influences, such as David Bowie, The Pixies, Pavement, Pulp or even Queen gave birth to a dynamic, genuine and high energy Pop-Rock. Exploring a vast musical range, from acoustic ballads to more full-on rock material with slight touches of oriental and electronic vibrations, Smoke Fish toys with contrasts to put forth an intense, dream-like and gripping music that opens the doors of the listener’s imagination: A fortunate meeting with the offspring of Lewis Carroll, the everlasting sexual hesitations of Mary, a lustful and suggestive tango with a multitude of prophets or a poker game in the farthest reaches of a Norwegian Asylum… It could be that these situations reveal themselves to be closer to the bone than you think. In other words their songs approach the more universal themes of Freedom and Love … How could they be set aside in today’s world? The 4 members of Smoke Fish have played on average over 70 concerts a year since their coming together. The band has shared the stage with many renowned French artists such as Yann Tiersen (The composer of the soundtrack to Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s “Amelie” and "Good Bye Lenin" ), Christophe Miossec, Da-Silva and Kaolin. The Band is presently preparing the release of its forthcoming album expected to be out in 2009.
