Petula Clarck - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Difficult to judge from the live tubes - they're on bandcamp though. The 2009 albm 'Aye Aye Aye' conists of 20 'songs', only three of which breach the two minute mark, and even then only just - the longest track is in fact an epic 2:59!!

Their more recent album 'Instinction' is a little bit shorter - ony 14 tracks, with the longest clocking in at 2:35

Read about the band's philosophy here: http://petulaclarck.com/about/, but to save you the trouble of opening up another tab, here's a quote:

"Petula Clarck is a two piece combo comprising of Mat (guitar & vocals) & Vinch (drums). The band try to reach the instinctive way to create music. One rule, just one: one hour and half to create a song. If the song is bad, it goes to the garbage! If the song is good, they play it live and record it like they create it the first time. The group has never retouched his songs and never will. No cheating, Petula Clarck are songs created over the moment, without final improvement, spontaneous. To be closer to its instincts, the duet plays, invents, and serves its emotions like polaroids. It’s why they like to call their music Spontrash. So they want to sharp their creativity, using this unique rule to create funky trash blues punk disco dance hits. It’s fast, aggressive, experimental and noise but above all urgent and honest.

They play in the middle of the crowd, two dudes, one drum, one guitar and 3 amps (guitar & bass). A fast drum creative and loud drummer combined with the vocals of Mat using voice effects, animal screams and onomatopoeias."

It's hardly prog though....

	Quirky jam music isn't prog, I'm afraid.
