[Udi Koomran]

Art Zoyd are launching a fund raising project to help finance their 44.5 Anniversary tour that will commence at the RIO Festival in September with solid plans to play in Japan and perhaps the US
A lot of work is put into this including transcribing the old compositions and extensive rehearsals with pat members Zaboitzeff Jean-Jean Pierre Soarez and Daniel Denis
A 11 cd box set of unreleased archival recordings is in the works plans for release late 2015 / early 2016 !
I hope all fans will participate in helping this become an amazing event

Zaboitzeff and Soarez are back in the fold - permanently, or just for this tour? Will they record anything new, do you know?

I am sure if this project will prove successful it will pave way for further endeavors

[flytomars]

Holy cow!
It says the show will be two and a half hours, does this also include the RIO show? (usually in festivals the shows are shorter?)
I cant wait to see them there... even thinking seriously about the 150 euro backstage reward

PS- where is Patricia Dallio? wasnt she a member from the begining up until now?

She's been more or less on and off, I think. I remember reading somewhere that she has made a carreer out of writing jingles and music for TV (films, features, documentaries, news bulletins) and stage/theatre, so there's presumably less time for band endeavours. Her solo album from the early 90s, Procession, is quite beautiful.

Mmhhh!!!!... This could make me attend RIO Fest if they're around and playing

Who am I to say this, but I'd rather that, in the light of the last two decades (saw them tw/hr/ice dring that time lapse), that she's either not around, or not taking big decisions (unless they go the way I'd like too)

I simply don't care for what she's done to AZ since she took control (it's too "out there" for me)

I might be wrong but It seems to me you are exaggerating her role
as far as I know since Zab left its Gerard holding the reins all the way

I just checked AZ, and I personally thought Hourbette had been out for around 20 years... So my bad...

When I saw AZ early this century, it was around Metropolis and the Experience de Vol, and it was all Dallio... or it certainly was presented as such to whatevver little crowd there was at their concerts and press events (I don't even think Gerard's name was even mentionned, if memory)

Having just checked in PA... half the time on albums credits (if PA is trustworthy enough), Hourbette is either absent or mentionned as "management". So yeah, I'll give Dallio some slack.

Art Zoyd in the U.S.? I've only fantasized over such possibilities. Additionally ...two fine releases from Patricia Dallio are "La Ronce N'est Pas Le Pire" and "Barbe Bleue". Pick these up, you won't be sorry. I play these around the house and they are hauntingly beautiful.

I saw Art Zoyd in the USA in the late 1980s at Lincoln Center in NYC. Since it was pushed as the famous movie "Nosferatu" with live musical accompaniment, there was a packed house.

There was a tiny number of folks there for Art Zoyd and about 1900 for the movie!

[battema]

I'd certainly love to see Art Zoyd here in the States. If it were a year or two ago, I'd say they'd have a perfect opportunity, touring behind the (then) recent release of the restored Metropolis.

I can't believe they were actually here in commercial America. Nosferatu was their ticket to the U.S.? Have they been back since that time? Seeing Art Zoyd in the flesh must have been a totally unique experience.

[Scrotum Scissor]

Seeing Art Zoyd in the flesh must have been a totally unique experience.

Ironically, when they tour with film (Nosferatu, Metropolis, Faust or Häxan) - which is when they draw a crowd of sorts - the band itself mostly sits in the dark, just playin'.

But then again, who the hell would bother to attend a friggin' Laibach gig if there wasn't some sort of mock artistic twist to their enstagement?

So it's sorta like the deal with the Goblin US tour a couple years ago, eh?

I wonder what the 1900 thought of the music.

I was gonna say that Art Zoyd toured the US back in the early 80's, but I think that's Etron Fou Leloublan I'm thinking of.

Etron Fou toured the US in 79, 82, and 86.

AFAIK, Art Zoyd appeared in the US one time and I saw it.

[GuitarGeek]

.

Yeah, a few years ago, someone uploaded a bunch of Etron Fou shows to Dimeadozen, from their Stateside visits. At least one, was recorded at Danceteria, the NYC nightclub where Madonna more or less launched her singing career. That must have been one hell a venue, dance music one night, weirdo French art rock the next?

[Steve F.]

I wonder what the 1900 thought of the music.

They thought it was an excellent soundtrack to a classic film; it was very well received.

[GuitarGeek]

Hopefully, if I can allocate the funds, I'd like to buy this box.

[calyx]

Patricia Dallio joined the band 10 years into its existence (1979), so not an original member by any stretch... She did stay through their most productive period (although she's not on "Phase IV"), and even after Zaboitzeff left and it became more of a faceless ensemble with a revolving cast she was part of most (but not all) of their projects. I guess she's moved on now.

This sounds fantastic!

Does anyone know if there's any way to read the page in English? I selected English in the upper right corner but that just changes the currency.

I used google translate, which only helped a little..

[Zeuhlmate]

Wow !
I've seen them 3 (or is it 4) times. Everybody should !

[Hobo Chang Ba]

Me wanty box set.

[Zeuhlmate]

I saw them perform Berlin, The marriage, music to 4 silent movies (with Daniel Denis), and latest to Metrolpolis (out doors)
Great shows all of them and full house everytime as I recall it..
