About Me |
|
| Ivan Campo, the super Spaniard with the big hair, shares his name - with a nu-folk ensemble who will take you on a journey through the mysteries of their minds.Hitchcock and The Beatles’ White Album are just some of Ivan Campo’s preoccupations. Characterised by a playful suspense, their songs are as likely to be about the unsolved death of Alexander Litvinenko as they are about love and loss.Based in the Northwest of England, Ivan Campo produce interweaving melodies combined with a musical unpredictability influenced by artists as varied as Devendra Banhart, Nick Harper and Arcade Fire.The effect is a unique style infused with echoes of films, snatched memories and a healthy sense of the absurd.Playing regularly and frequently in London, Manchester and Preston, Ivan Campo recently appeared at the Roadhouse with The Jeff Lewis Band, and supported the Pale Fountains at Shepherds Bush Empire February 2008.Their first song, Bandit (visit ivancampo.net), was produced in 2003, and they have since written at least 100 songs, spread over 9 E.P's.Meanwhile, their self-directed videos echo the gentle yet unexpected pace of their sounds.Yorkie from Space is a fan. “A unique and mildly unsettling sound, like David Lynch circa Blue Velvet. Can't recommend them enough!”Come & take a trip to Campodia! I edited my profile at MySpaceSupport.com , check out these Myspace Layouts ! |
