No nEGAPADRES.3.3. release on Tourette records

After disagreeing on virtually everything from promotion, release style and distribution, and clearly not being able to communicate within the parameters of known logic, nEGAPADRES.3.3. has decided not to release “LA PHOBIE DU CHEVAL” on Tourette records. This new album, which is totally finished, will be released on another label, so far undefined.

nEGAPADRES.3.3 to collaborate with John Ellis

Back in the 80’s, through his previous work as a journalist and rock critic, S3 has met hundreds of famous musicians and artists. Among those, there are some with whom he has kept in touch in a “pen pal” way (friendship is a big word). Recently, he has exchanged some mail with JOHN ELLIS, a guitarist and extremely creative musician, having worked with THE VIBRATORS, PETER HAMMIL, PETER GABRIEL and THE STRANGLERS. After getting back in touch with him, and exchanging links about each other’s musical releases, John Ellis has expressed the wish to play on one track of the next nEGAPADRES.3.3. album “Binche”. This is course was a news that made us jump in the air. That someone as creative as John would take interest in our music brought nothing but pride and amazement. Further more the sole idea that nEGAPADRES.3.3 would “share” a musician with Peter Gabriel and Peter Hammil is a fantastic gift. Tracks will be exchanged across the English Channel within the month of June, for final mixes due for July or August, and a fall release.

nEGAPADRES.3.3. has finished the basic recording of TWO new albums

nEGAPADRES.3.3. has finished the basic recording of TWO new albums. One, so far untitled, is to be released on the famous American label TOURETTE RECORDS, a collection of songs in a very different style than Exstrophy of Amphigouris. The second, based on the folkloric music, will be titled “BINCHE” and will be released on HERMETIQUE Records.
