About Me |
|
| Fronted by the late Yvon Vromman, The Honeymoon Killers/Les Tueurs de la Lune de Miel were a provocative band with a strong pop sensibility. They became the darlings of the music press all around Europe (including in the UK, a rare feat for a French-singing act), and their delirious live shows gained them a strong following. Les Tueurs also included vocalist Véronique Vincent, Gerald Fenerberg, Jeanf Jones Jacob and Aksak Maboul/Crammed originators Marc Hollander & Vincent Kenis. |

Music:Member Since: 4/4/2007Band Website: crammed.be/ Band Members: The Honeymoon Killers live on TV, 1983:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SsBtfuSDxw Influences: Sounds Like: “Voluptuous, tearing, stamping, petulant... Tension between Marc’s persistent musicality and Yvons’ demonic gibberish... Véronique a vapour in siren’s clothing... The sparks are ritualistic and still hilarious. Damn the solemn ! A truly Nietzschean stand-up comic spirit is at work here ... Hats off to any band that can cover a Serge Gainsbourg song and still sound like Talking Heads-meet-Pinky & Perky... They are embarrassingly fashion-free... a vast charm of their own...”(NME, UK, 1982) “Legendary and psychopathic Belgian band The Honeymoon Killers have given birth to a monster album. A chaos of psychopathic dwarves, spiked with shrieks, scratched guitars, fairground organ and mongoloid percussion. Barked by a Killer with a sore throat or whispered by a suave nymph, their lyrics push the limits of organised insanity” (Actuel, France, 1982) “Somewhere between Maurice Chevalier and James Chance.... post-punk aesthetics, hammered rhythms, a rare mixture of sonic agression and discipline... Véronique Vincent sings like a deranged pop idol, smiles like Bardot but stays as cool as a refrigerator... as for Yvon Vromman, he’s the bogeyman of rock” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany, 1981) Get the album : ...or download it: ..
