Hard workin' Breastfeeders!

news

Except for the brand new album the band is currently recording now as we speak - every tentacle of this gigantic rock monster is very busy contributing to the cultural scene in Quebec!

That's right, and if you watch Les septs jours du Talion when it comes out in cinemas on February 5th, you will find the eccentric Johnny Maldoror (Martin Dubreuil) playing and awful pedophile being torture by a revenge seeker. That's so great! Martin on the big screen, getting great reviews for his part, we are really thrilled and cannot wait to see it!

Did you know that Sunny Duval was a writer? Yes! A really great one and did you know he's releasing a book?! His first book, En D'sous, will be out really soon and the book launch will be at the Cheval Blanc on February 1st at 6PM! We're starting a book club in his honor and his book will be the first on our list!

Breastfeeding on US campuses!

Breastfeeders keep on keeping on US radio ... After reaching 3rd place in January at WFMU (NJ) and playing a live session there last February, breastfeeding continues to take place on US campuses all over the country... Et en français s'il-vous plaît! - Dejeuner sur l'herbe, the band's first album, was in the top-5 at MIT's WMBR as soon as it went into rotation. It was as high as number number 2 by feb. 26th. The single "J'pourrais pas vivre avec toi" was even named single of the week on the Late Riser's Club, on january 31st 2005. Smells like a live session will happen there pretty pretty soon!!! - The album was also number 6 on the more recent chart at WCSB, university of Cleveland. Watch out for a live concert from Les Breastfeeders in june on the air!!! -Les Breastfeeders entered the charts at number 4 on march 11 at WPRB at Princeton University, NJ. - In California, end of march, the band was number 32 of the top-50 at KCPR- University of California in San Luis Obispo. - The album was also in the top 30 at KVCU-University of Colorado in march. The band's debut was also added to rotations in Détroit (MI), Thalahassee (FL), San Marcos (TX), Davis (CA), New York (NY), Royal Oak (MI), Portland (OR) twice, Chapel Hill (NC) and Atlanta (GA). Would Les Breastfeeders be doing some intelligent rock? Is "poésie française" cool again? Nothing is sure but we'll have to send people check it out for sure...
