"Filles d’Octobre" (another revolution, after "Filles de Mai," 2017) is a trace of the last 300 concerts, recorded during a ritual (those who come to our concerts know what we are talking about) at Amplifest (avant-rock/metal, Portugal).
A limited edition: 3000 copies, in double vinyl & cd. There will never be a reprint: our life is elsewhere than in the music industry. Our way of proceeding - without almost any albums or agencies, as free as possible - has allowed us for years to perform more than 150 concerts per year, where and when we want: Europes, Asia, Central Asia, Americas, Africas, Australia, New Zealand…
Trans-genres: avant-rock, world music, techno, flamenco, metal, Olivier Messiaen, Keiji Haino or Jennifer Lopez. It's the music that captivate us and not its churches. The Putan Club is not a band but a test bench.
The Putan Club is intended as a resistance cell characterized by a mode of action (forceful actions in various places) very close to the first plots of the European partisans during the last world war and today by opponents from all over the world. The resistance is organized by the archaic and immediate means of our century: electric voices and rumors, tanks and counted words, as to say from cave painting to the boldest conceptualism, from avant-rock to contemporary classical music, from tribal savagery to the most brutal techno, from the kiss on the mouth to the kick in the ass.
The Putan Club does not belong to any church (rock, techno, jazz, avant, punk, ethno or what-the-fuck-ever) but claims the right to be all that, even more. And proved it, from Laâyoune to Beijing. Finally, the Putan Club collaborates regularly with other demons such as Lydia Lunch, Eugene S. Robinson, Lotfi Bouchnak, Denis Lavant and other shamans and master healers from Asia & Africa.
These "October Girls" will be published by the resistance and antagonism of Toten Schwan Records on March 3, 2025.

A first violent polyrhythm ending on the dance floor. Composed during the resistance of the yellow vests and then its incredible repression by the French government, its video-clip is a compilation of what we discovered with horror on the internet.

Delivering the guitar on a groovy and twisted rhythm. A freedom that we feel in indirect line with Arto Lindsay's Aggregates 1-26, an album that marked our years. A liberation from the beginning of a ritual: everything is allowed, everything is possible. Breaths & silences included.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Feel the death. Zaï's adolescence wore metal. Suicide & Cioran. "I only live because it is in my power to die whenever I please: without the idea of suicide, I would have killed myself forever."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Two moments extracted from our researches around certain adorcist rituals (these led to the Ifriqiyya Electrique): how to free oneself through music? The extreme traditional and natural violence of non-formatted world music, most often for therapeutic purposes... and found in the West (mosh-pit, pogo, rave...) countering societal oppression, in lines of fight to escape from the taedium vitae, depression & other mental illnesses.

First of all a Maghrebian exhortation to lose oneself, continuing as an anarcho-feminist firebrand, returning in a saturated Western-Eastern finale to finally lose everything - but together.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Crossing the Adriatic, odd measurements on the Bar-Bari line (Montenegro-Italy ferry). Kalashnikov. Molotov. Cops in riot. Fruit and grapes of youth. Cholera and tenderness.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Despite all the glittering automations, despite all the superabundant disillusionments. By the sea.

One of the Putan Club manifestos, here at the end of the ritual (video-clip).
"Being an artist is a choice that is at first at an essential level: either one chooses to express the conservative structures of society and one is content to be a robot between the Hands of Power, or we address to the progressive components of this society in an attempt to establish a revolutionary relationship between art and life." Gian Maria Volontè

The Bosphorus is neither a bridge nor a passage. Quran and flowers in balance. Art and money on both banks. Silences and civilized orders. The world is not a postcard for astonished tourists.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Because we should always end up with our ass on the ground and our feet in the air. Techno? Odd times? Rock? Don't give a damn, but evolution. Together, in survival, on Géricault's raft.

« How did we miss this? A band is taking the roof off the venue. Like a crush collusion between Young Gods, Nine Inch Nails and even the early Ants when things get tribal with their more chanting ethno vocals and big rhymes, Putan Club have an astonishing and original sound and the live show is enormous. The audience is transfixed by the Italian/French two-piece who are so perfect and so stunning that you stand there open-mouthed at their brilliance. Putan Club are a stunning revelation. A medusa curls haired woman dealing bass filth with a perfect groove and a bequiffed man on guitar twitching with expectation. They then literally just explode. Their computer takes up the rhythm chores and the seering catchy riffs are delivered with a noisenik venom and raw power. There is the clank and grind of industrial and the forward vision of post-punk and an almighty groove of death disco which bites into raw Africa then crunch into primary savagery. They are the best band that I should have heard of. The band are now an LTW priority that you must listen to. Now !!! » John Robb - LOUDER THAN WAR (UK)
