Kap Bambino

Consisting of Caroline Martial and Orion Bouver, Kap Bambino is a stampeding punk-rock juggernaught. Unlike most assaults of lawless rock'n'roll ideals, it's not powered by guitars, or rather any live instruments whatsoever.

Onstage Kap Bambino's manifesto is crystal clear: a union of liberation and abandon all in the name of love, otherwise known as one giant next generation mosh-pit where any innocent bystanders are doomed to messy fate of cyclone limbs, unabashed elation and down right goofiness. "It may sound cheesy," grins Caroline. "But everything we do, we do it as if it's the last time. Every show, the last one, every song we record, the same. I think that makes our music what it is."

When the pair first got chatting at a house party in 2001 it was with an intrinsic connection Caroline cutely and aptly describes as "like electricity". It took some persuading, but eventually Caroline convinced Orion to let her yell over the top of the surges of digital brimstone he'd been conjuring before the glare of his laptop monitor. What followed was three albums, numerous EPs and singles, and countless. These led them to lay most of Europe, America and Japan to waste with their now legendary riot-inducing stage show, and garnered worshipping press tributes from the likes of NME, Dazed and Confused, Another Magazine, and Dummy.
