There's no need to search for JACK DUPON in the civil registration, because that legendary character doesn't exist ! We're talking of a young French band here, made of four crazy people, flegmatic adventurers of the Imaginary. Improvisers and storytellers. Polite and rude. Full of oppositions, contradictions... In one word: alive. Their music is like their existences: out of styles and boundaries. Far away from the usual technical show-off, their performances tell the story of the crazy JACK DUPON: manitou and mentor, Big Brother, a genious criminal of thousand masks... Published on the Gazul label in the year 2008, "L'Echelle Du Désir" explores the vast landscapes of Progressive rock, experimental and psychedelic. Sometimes reminding a kind of modern ETRON FOU LELOUBLAN, this music may also be related with SEBKHA-CHOTT's, or KING CRIMSON's electric dissonances. GONG also comes in mind, especially when having a look at the booklet, probably designed by some kind of Flying Teapot ! JACK DUPON is all but consensual, for our own pleasure... "Bascule A Vif" is a double-album ceptured live, including three tracks from "L'Echelle Du Désir", and six compositions originally to be found on "Démon Hardi". The order of the tracks follows the exact chronology of the performance, given Saturday October 22nd 2011, Salle Camille Claudel in Clermont-Ferrand, France. After having published an excellent concept-album paying tribute to the Great Adventure ("Jésus L'Aventurier" en l'an 2013), here comes JACK DUPON, stronger as before, for an equally-excellent "Tête De Chien" ("Doghead"). This common expression is mostly used by French people to name their "good friends" from the capital, Paris. If you want to know more about it, all you have to do is play this new masterpiece. Just unique !
