Bio
DeStijl fuses dark dance with melodic pop-rock. Formed in France in1995 by Pascal DeStijl and John Cleary, the band released their award-winnning first album DeStijl in 1997. This success was closely followed by the experimental trip > factor EP in 1998, and the crowd-pleasing album de:construction in 1999, featuring the otherworldly vocals of Norweigian Agnete Thuland.
In 2000, Pascal DeStijl took time out from making music to launch his underground label, Hydrophonics. Hydrophonics' roster now includes nationally recognised bands such as Lady Palavas, S, Absinthe Provisoire and Spayroll.
In 2008, burning with inspiration, Pascal expanded the DeStijl sound by engaging Fred Vernay and Patrice Robert on vocals and guitar respectively (both ex Effet Papillon), Chris Castejon on bass and Laurent Guillot (The Chase) on drums.
Bursting with 21st century dystopia, radiating dark melodies and thundering with new blood, DeStijl released their latest album in 2011 to widespread critical acclaim.
They're now playing this album live with a new line-up, featuring Eric Manchon on Drums. On stage, their set is revealed to be a furious rock dance machine.
