This band is creating music that makes people tap their feet with supreme energy.
Double drum trio CARRÉ is setting new milestones by experimenting with music. This double-drum trio-led band was born out of the need and will for creating a dancy electronic and rock n’ roll band. They have recently released a new single “Turn down the choir” on August 20th that perfectly describes the battle between the subconscious and the conscious.
Beginning Of Musical Journey
CARRÉ started as a concept band in 2019. It was brought to life in Los Angeles, CA, by two former French artists/musicians/producers Keveen Baudouin & Jules de Gasperis, and a drummer based out of Paris, France. The double drum trio released a couple of singles/videos and their first EP in the Spring of Summer 2020. This trio wanted to create a band that blended their electronic influences from French Touch and psychedelic rock’n roll. To make the music electrifying that could make people dance to their feet, CARRÉ came to life with the two drummers’ idea to produce the tight groove dance feeling to the music.
Their strength lies in the unique talents they have. Each of them came to the table with different influences ranging from electronic and modern rock by Jules De Gasperis to a more psychedelic-industrial and noise experimental vibe by Keveen Baudouin to hints of pop, world music, and percussion was brought to the table by Julien Boyé.
Inspiration
Every beautiful creation we see today is inspired by something, and the same is the case with this band. Experimentation – the greatest inspiration, pushed them to blend the French and Anglo-Saxon influences by mixing up electronic music with rock n’ roll. The Los Angeles music scene doesn’t have that. This scarcity and the want to fulfill it through their creation were the two greatest motivating factors that inspired them to create the music that fulfills the craving.
Global Pandemic, CARRÉ & Its Future Plans
The band says, “Covid 19 impacted us as we were supposed to play our EP release show in Los Angeles, CA, during the Spring of 2020 with a series of European shows right after that. We ended up sticking to our release calendar and put out the two first singles and video clips in April and May 2020 followed by our self-titled EP in late July 2020”. Anything but time can wait for us, but time is the thing that flies by. Utilizing it with utmost care is what one can do, if Pandemic doesn’t stop. If it carries on its work, how could we rest? That is the ideology behind the band’s unceasing work.
They plan to keep producing and creating music and keep releasing new tracks. They don’t wait for the opportunities to come, they believe in creating them. They believe that “The shows will come when they’re supposed to. Forcing destiny never helped anyone so we are patient and meanwhile, we’re building a following and an interest in our music.”
As their music is not formatted to some kind of song shape, they are expecting the cinematic and trance aspect of it to hopefully help bring CARRÉ some love in the movie soundtrack world. It will help them keep everything and everyone together to create more, bring that project on stage in front of a crowd than on tour. Because at the end of the day, live music is the answer.
