C-mon & Kypski

Where the wild things are

In Maurice Sendak’s classic picture book “Where the Wild Things Are,” little boy Max is sent to his room without supper for being mischievous. Expecting to find only boredom and confinement, Max ends up discovering a wonderful world of monsters and adventure growing out of his imagination. In the spirit of mystical quests and unexpected destinations, Dutch four piece band C-Mon and Kypski loaded up their gear into a big van, grew grizzly beards and headed to the wild backcountry of Morocco to record their third album. The end result (appropriately titled “Where the Wild Things Are”) is an irresistible blend of organic beats, fiery riffs, and exotic sounds inspired by and emanating from “the wild.” It’s difficult to classify their sound, but if you were to imagine DJ Shadow, Beck, Gogol Bordello, Fela Kuti, Super Furry Animals, and Justice crammed into a similarly sized van and left to collaborate, you’ll be on your way to understanding what C-Mon and Kypski is all about. C-Mon and Kypski began as the hiphop/turntable act of long time friends Simon Akkermans (C-Mon) and Dutch turntable champion Thomas Elbers (Kypski). The pair released their debut album “Vinyl Voodoo” in 2003. Shortly thereafter, the duo decided to expand into a full band, adding Daniel Rose on guitars and Jori Collignon on keys. Their second album “Static Traveller” (2004) was well received and helped introduce the band to many new musical friends, including acclaimed saxophonist Benjamin Herman (New Cool Collective), rock band Voicst, the Amsterdam Klezmer Band and rapper Pete Philly, all of whom were invited to collaborate with C-Mon and Kyspki on their latest album, “Where the Wild Things Are” (2006). In the year that followed, C-Mon and Kypski toured the Netherlands extensively, closed the showcase festival Eurosonic/Noorderslag and played the Netherlands’ two biggest summer festivals: Pinkpop and Lowlands. After their performance at Pinkpop, the crowd chanted for more than five minutes, even though headliner Marilyn Manson was supposed to start immediately after. The press applauded the band’s performances and they realized it was time to share their music with the world. C-Mon and Kypski participated in several prestigious international festivals, namely CMJ (New York), SXSW (Austin), Popkomm (Berlin), and Oppikoppi (South Africa), the last of which landed them a record deal with One Minute Trolley Dash Records CC. As a further testament to their creativity and desire to try new things, the group designed an exclusive sneaker in collaboration with Nike SB that was released in stores June 2007 in Europe and Asia. At the start of 2008, the band returned to the Noorderslag Festival as a headliner and then embarked on a big tour of the Netherlands including three very special shows in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Eindhoven. These shows, entitled “Circus C-Mon and Kypski” included incredible visuals and a host of special guests to create a colourful and exciting menagerie reminiscent of circus performances. But the band has even bigger plans, as C-Mon will tell you: “We can do so much more than we could do a few years ago, but in our dreams we hope to have three Daft Punk-like pyramids on stage. One day, we will have men in fireproof suits on stage during ‘Wild Fire’!” In 2008, C-Mon and Kypski will be touring Germany and the United States (among other destinations), release a live concert DVD recorded at ‘de Melkweg’ in Amsterdam, and begin work on their fourth album with an expected released date sometime in early 2009. Still don't know what type of music this is? Listen and find out... C-Mon + Kypski are: Simon Akkermans: samples, (live) production Thomas Elbers: turntables, beats Daniel Rose: strings, guitars Jori Collignon: piano, keyboards Discography C-mon + Kypski: Vinyl Voodoo (2002) Static Traveller (2004) Where the Wild Things are (2006) C-mon: Cereal (2006) Kypski: Mazturbation Tool (2004) The Clocktave (2005)

C-MON and KYPSKI ON THEIR FIRST OFFICIAL US TOUR
11 MARCH 2008 UTRECHT- C-Mon and Kypski are set to begin a 2 month tour of the United States this Thursday, March 20th. In addition to unleashing mayhem on unsuspecting ears, the band will also begin work on their fourth album while touring the U.S. in an RV. Performances are confirmed at SXSW in Austin, TX as well as New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and L.A. In early 2008 the band signed with talent and booking agency, Entourage Talent Associates, Ltd. of New York City (www.entouragetalent.com), for international representation (excluding Europe). When asked what drew him to C-mon and Kypski, Entourage Talent President, Wayne Forte responded: “Once in a LONG while, one sees an act or artist that truly makes them stop and think about why one originally got into the music business in the 1st place (in my case, it was to try and do “new” things, develop and assist artists - especially those on the “cutting edge” - and maybe even to attempt to take them from the smallest clubs to the largest arenas)... C-Mon and Kypski are just such an act!” C-Mon and Kypski will play approximately 20 shows in the U.S. and Canada, including opening slots for Artists as diverse as Lotus, Future Rock, Collie Budz, and The Frequency. After these shows C-Mon and Kypski will stay in LA for two weeks to continue work on their new album, due in early 2009. Tour Diary The band will be uploading a weekly diary, on the websites of MTV.nl, Radio 3FM (3fm.nl), Newspaper NRC Next and of course on their website http://www.c-monandkypski.nl. Select US Press Quotes: ESQUIRE: "Think you've heard it all? You haven't heard "Circus C-Mon and Kypski" yet. This frenetic trip will either have you scooting around in your office chair while juggling paperclips -- or you'll be bleeding from your ears." SNEAKERFREAKER.COM: "C-Mon and Kypski can bring their music to you LIVE in a totally unique way. No static laptop stuff but live video scratching, live drums, keys, guitars, live sampling, boomin' beats, lights, the whole nine yards."

Kop in Metro
A message to our Dutch fans: Bedankt voor jullie bericht. Wij schrokken zelf ook van de kop, en hebben dat niet in die context gezegd. De Azijnfabriek is een superleuk podium, en ook het publiek in Roermond was echt heel leuk. De reden waarom we de tour niet in Remuunj willen eindigen is omdat de kleinere clubs als Azijnfabriek niet geschikt zijn om met alle gastartiesten op te treden. Past simpelweg niet op het podium, maar ook de kosten die dat met zich meebrengt kunnen niet gedragen worden door de kleinere clubs. We willen graag de tour afsluiten met al onze muziekvrienden erbij. Ik hoop dat jullie begrijpen dat het dus helemaal geen aanval is op Roermond, want we hopen echt dat de Azijnfabriek open blijft (iedereen heeft de petitie getekend), en dat we daar snel weer een keer kunnen spelen. C-Mon.

(It's in Dutch, but believe me all you English speaking visitors, it's really positive.) Sorry they woudn't let us play an encore. Hearing everybody screaming after the set was the most beautiful sound we heard all weekend. We found a muddy field and put up a tent so we could stay and enjoy the amazing bands. We gazed at the trucks backstage as they delivered all those apocalyptic lightshows. Hey, look that's Iggy.. And the guy that was just standing next to me in the toilet is drumming for the Arctic Monkeys! Festivals are great fun and we want to play many more.
