ONCLE STRONGLE

France

It is no accident that ONCLE STRONGLE is the only garage swing band in the old continent. Even if they are English-speaking , they have a definite French touch. It's mainly through rock and pop that they have educated their ears, from the softness of the Beatles' vocal harmonies, to the punk and metal roughness. So, this strange alchemy is being carried out when they perform jazz, starting from its early beginnings ,the 20's, followed by the 30's, 40's untill the 50's. Here you have a general idea of the tasty retro esthetic though not in the least self-conscious band who enjoys lovely tunes ,often sung by several voices, whose rythms make ankles moving, who loves breaking new grounds and never fail to surprise their audience whith new pieces, sometimes light, sometimes tough or melancholic.
