Meet In The Dead Car, a Crazy Folk band whose name is inspired by the song “In the death car”, a collaborative effort between Goran Bregovic and Iggy Pop. Symbol of a union between two very dissimilar characters: Gipsy Folk sonorities infused with the raw power of Hard Rock. The gipsy and rock melodies, combined with the multiculturalism of the musicians, are the trademark of In The Dead Car. According to a Swiss journalist, their “Crazy Folk” genre lies somewhere “between a western film, a circus performance and Gipsy euphoria… now you’re in the middle of the desert in New Mexico, the next moment you find yourself under a circus tent not far away from the fanfare”.
The band is formed in Barcelona after a chance encounter between an eclectic character of Swiss origin (Patrick “el Kcripta” Botticchio) and Oriol “Uri” Besora, raised in the multifaceted Catalan city. The encounter of their respective cultures lays the foundations of In The Dead Car. The band then recruits guitarist Adrien “Van Adrian” Stevens, who brings his intimate and melancholy sound into the mix. A significant turning point is then marked by the arrival of accordion player Leo Canepa, ticinese doc, who adds a new touch with his folk rhythms. Veronica Torre, an energetic drummer with a rocker’s soul, completes the quintet.
Over the years the band has worked on various collaborative projects, such as performing the song “Giraldo, el coito te nubla!” written for the Spanish short film of the same name, or “Tzirk”, part of the soundtrack of a short movie dedicated to the world of circus. The band’s reinterpretation of the song “Crescendolls” by Daft Punk was included in a compilation celebrating the greatest hits of the French duo.
Live shows, be they on a big stage or in more intimate settings, are definitely the strong point of the band, which can animate the audience of just about any concert hall or street.
