FAKE ODDITY (France / Turkey)
Fake Oddity is a rock band settled in Lyon. Made of Istanbul born Faik and 3 musicians from all corners of France. Tonio, bearded guitarist, and hair twins bass/cello player Mat and drummer/ percussionist Fred.
In 6 years of existence they managed to conquered the media and the French public with their almost epileptic stage energy. Faik's Doorsesque charisma, the musicians devastating precision as well as an exceptional sincerity and continuous work have placed them on the top list of the new generation of English singing French bands.
With already two albums, their music has come to full maturity in their latest album « RUNFAST » recorded at studio IMAJ in Istanbul and released in France on September 1st 2008. Between 70's rock and rather modern sounds, it invites you on a journey resulting from the colliding of two cultures.
Professionals got it right.
