Artist's Biography

« How did we miss this? A band is taking the roof off the venue. Like a crush collusion between Young Gods, NIN, and even the early Ants when things get tribal with their more chanting ethno vocals and big rhymes, Putan Club have an astonishing and original sound and the live show is enormous. The audience is transfixed by the Italian/French two-piece who are so perfect and so stunning that you stand there open-mouthed at their brilliance. Putan Club are a stunning revelation. A medusa curls haired woman dealing bass filth with a perfect groove and a bequiffed man on guitar twitching with expectation. They then literally just explode. Their drum machine takes up the rhythm chores and the seering catchy riffs are delivered with a noisenik venom and raw power. There is the clank and grind of INDUSTRIAL and the forward vision of POST-PUNK and an almighty groove of DEATH DISCO which bites into RAW AFRICA then crunch into PRIMARY SAVAGERY. They are the best band that I should have heard of & a priority that you must listen to. Now !!! » John Robb - LOUDER THAN WAR

A duo, from Italy and France, based between Dakar and Faro. Voices, guitars, bass & computer. The PUTAN CLUB is standing for feminism, electricity, electronics & savagery - as if Jeff Mills was devouring the Nine Inch Nails: groove and high tension. Trance, Dance and Challenge. The PUTAN PLUB is intended as a resistance cell, characterized by a mode of doing (force actions in various places) very close to the first plots of European partisans during the last world war and today by opponents from all over the world. Resistance is organized by the archaic and immediate means of our century: electric voices and rumors, tanks and counted words, like saying from cave painting to the most daring conceptualism, from avant-rock to contemporary classical music, from tribal savagery to the most brutal techno, from the kiss on the mouth to the kick in the ass ...

The PUTAN CLUB does not belong to any church (rock, techno, jazz, avant, punk, world or whatthe-fuck-ever) but claims the right to be all that, even more. And proved it, from Laâyoune to Beijing. Finally, the PUTAN CLUB collaborates regularly with other demons such as Lydia Lunch, Eugene S. Robinson, Denis Lavant and other shamans and master healers from Asia & Africa.

With an average of more than 150 concerts a year, over 1500 concerts since its creation, regularly on Tour in Europe, China, Turkey, Africa and Central Asia as well as part of numerous festivals as Amplifest (PT), Bazant Pohoda ( SK), Tomorrow Fest (RPC), Milhoes ( PT), Croisements festival (RPC), Tam-Tam (HR), the PUTAN CLUB is iconoclastic, violent, groovy and and resolutely feminist-revolutionary.

About the Album

The PUTAN CLUB loves to experiment, record and let the venomous/lovers/activists scream & dance but doesn't like much to release albums : too chronophagycal, their life is somewhere else than in the music industry. After « Filles de Mai », these « Filles d’Octobre » (October’s daughters, another revolution) are therefore a second exception. Recorded during a ritual (those who come to their concerts know what we are talking about) at Amplifest (metal/avant-rock festival, Porto, Portugal) it is above all an ephemeral collector's item: a double-vinyl & cd of only 3000 copies - and without any reissue planned, ever.

The PUTAN CLUB does not believe in the music industry. Their way of operating – with almost no albums, no agencies, and being as less egocentrical as possible – has allowed them for years to perform more than 150 annual concerts, wherever and whenever they want: Europe, Asia, Central Asia, Africa, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South America…

Transgender : Avant-Rock, World-Music, Techno, Flamenco, Messiaen or Jennifer Lopez. The musics are captivating them but not their churches. The PUTAN CLUB is not a band but a testbench.

« Filles d’Octobre » will be released due to the antagonism & resistance from Toten Schwan Records on March 03, 2025.
