Piere Omer's Swing Revue: Tropical Breakdown (CD)

(Voodoo Rhythm) 12 tracks

Neo Noir Swing! The modern Les Paul from the dark side! PO and his band catapult you straight into a ballroom full of misfits and crooks and belt out 12 songs, including a magnificent cover version of Niagara's 80s disco hit L'amour a la plage.

Pierre Omer was born in London to an Indian father and a Swiss mother.
He is a founding member of the legendary Swiss funeral rock'n'roll band The Dead Brothers (guitar and accordion).
In 2009 he started several solo projects together with Robert Butler (The Mit, The Miracle Workers), Roland Bucher and Christian Aregger (Blind Butcher).
In 2013 The Swing Revue was born. Pierre Omer: vocals, guitar Julien Israelian: drums, Géraldine Schenkel: Fender Rhodes, Christoph Gantert: vocals, trumpet and the unique Lalla Morte: sings fakir and dances.

In the past they have played many shows including Binic Folk Blues Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, Buskers Bern, Festival Les Athénéennes, Pod'Ring Biel, Vinelz, Le Cirque Electric Paris and many more.
The new, second album was recorded entirely by the band themselves (Pierre had already produced several Voodoo Rhythm records in the past, e.g. Mama Rosin) 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 is characterised by Pierre's amazing songwriting skills, the constantly languid, relaxed, dark vocals and his irritating guitar playing (Tropical Breakdown), plus Christoph Gantert's devilishly obsessive trumpet playing.
The music of the swing era of the 30's and 40's, combined with a garagey spirit and an eye for everything else make for a very special album.

LP classic black with DLC plus insert, CD in digi-sleeve with 12-page booklet.
