Omer, Pierre - Swing Revue
Tropical Breakdown
Neo Noir Swing! The modern Les Paul from the Dark Side! PO and his band catapult you right into a ball room filled with
misfits and goons and smack you with 12 songs including the terrific cover version of Niagara's 80's disco hit L'amour a
la plage.
Pierre Omer was born in London of an Indian father and a Swiss mother. He is a founder member of the legendary Swiss
funeral Rock'n'Roll band The Dead Brothers (guitars and accordion). In 2009 he started several solo projects along with
Robert Butler (the Shit, the Miracle Workers), Roland Bucher and Christian Aregger (Blind Butcher) in 2013 the Swing
Revue was born, along with: Pierre Omer: vocals, guitar Julien Israelian: drums, Graldine Schenkel: Fender Rhodes,
Christoph Gantert: vocals, trumpet, and the one and only Lalla Morte: Sings Fakir and Dances. They played many shows and
festivals such as: Binic Folk Blues Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, Buskers Bern, Festival Les Athnennes, Pod'Ring
Biel, Vinelz, Le Cirque Electric Paris etc. This new album is recorded by the band itself in true DIY-style - Pierre
already produced some Voodoo Rhythm Records (mama rosin) in the past - and was mixed in Berlin's Big Snuff Studio with
Nene Baratto (movie star junkies, black lips, Heat, Jimi Tenor, King khan, Black Mass Rising. The whole album Stands out
with Pierre's amazing song writing skills, the lazy laid back dark vocal and his irritating guitar playing, along with
Christop Gantert's devil possessed trumpet playing. The Music of the swing era of the 30's and 40's, combined with a
garage spirit and an eye for everything else make for a special album.
