Futuro Pelo
Indie Rock
Bruxelles, Be
Futuro Pelo is the radical, unfiltered project of Benjamin Sportès. Active on the alternative scene since 1983, he forged his reputation over fifteen years with Sporto Kantes, including memorable performances at La Cigale, Le Trianon, Le Bataclan, La Route Du Rock, Marsatac, Cabaret Vert, Les Transmusicales, Le Printemps de Bourges… The artist traded Paris for a brutalist studio in Brussels, the Brussels Unlimited Noise Klub, where he retreated to write this new chapter.
A sonic explosion with no limits or barriers, a Molotov cocktail of rock'n'roll, electro, garage, punk, pop… Sportès says it himself: he is unable to categorize his music, but it is driven by a "visceral need" to get on stage. His influences are a manifesto in themselves, summoning the shadow of Nick Cave and the raw urgency of Gun Club, crossing the brute energy of The Stooges with the electro-punk of Jamie T and the cutting flow of Genesis Owusu.

Futuro Pelo is the radical, unfiltered project of Benjamin Sportès, a singular voice on the alternative scene since the early 1980s. After fifteen years with Sporto Kantes, performing across iconic stages and festivals, he relocated from Paris to Brussels.
Futuro Pelo delivers a sonic collision of rock’n’roll, electro, garage, punk, and pop—music that refuses categorization, driven by a visceral need to perform. Drawing from the intensity of Nick Cave, The Stooges, or Genesis Owusu, his sound is direct, physical, and uncompromising.
Back with new material and a stripped-down, performance-driven approach, Futuro Pelo stands for urgency, freedom, and the enduring power of live music.
