ohn Robb (The Membranes, Louder Than War) was left stunned by an explosive performance from the PUTAN CLUB in Tallinn (Estonia) last year: « How did we miss this? A band is taking the roof off the venue. Like a crush collusion between Young Gods, Nine Inch Nails, and even the early Ants. Putan Club have an astonishing and original sound and the live show is enormous. 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 duo from Italy and France, based in between Agrigento (Sicily, I) and Faro (Algarve,P). Voices, guitars, bass & odd computer. The PUTAN CLUB stands for feminism, electricity, electronics & savagery. Groove, tension, frictions & distortions. Sonic & geopolitical blasts. Trance, dance and defiance.

The PUTAN CLUB 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 the cave paintings to the most daring conceptualism, from avant-rock to contemporary classical music, from tribal savagery to metal or more brutal techno/house, 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, ethno or what-the-f#ck-ever) but claims the right to be all that, even more. And proved it, from Laâyoune to Beijing. An average of 150 concerts/rituals per year in Europe, Americas, Africas, Oceania, China, Central Asia...

The PUTAN CLUB regularly collaborates with other demons such as Lydia Lunch, Eugene S. Robinson, Denis Lavant and other shamans and mistresses healers from Asia & Africa.
