DEAD CHIC

DEAD CHIC is the collaboration between Damien Felix & Andy Balcon. Whilst fronting the Duo Heymoonshaker, Balcon stalked stages around the world; credited with over 60 million views on Youtube. Felix has been a professional musician for the past fifteen years. Producing prolifically and touring ferociously with his band Catfish, they gained great notoriety in both Europe and South America, forming an essential part of the French Rock scene. It was whilst touring with their respective groups that Balcon and Felix met a few years ago, bumping into each other regularly on the road and meeting backstage to talk music, inspiration, and to discuss a hypothetical collaboration. The two musicians share common ground, with a strong love for Blues, Soul and Rock & Roll. In Spring 2020 the idea of working together became a reality and the first song presented itself. DEAD CHIC was born. Over the years, touring and travelling, the two musicians have digested their influences, nourished their cultures and affirmed their personalities. The marriage instantly sparked. The collaboration was obvious. Their music is a call to the great landscapes, arid plains and rocky peaks. Balcon's voice echoes like an incantation, a sermon in a dark ceremony with the fuzz and organs to witness. A banquet at dusk where we meet the ghosts of Leone, Motown divas, Vaqueros and Mariachis. Felix's guitars, bursting with reverb, weave the backdrop and strike lightning upon the plains.
