Futuro Pelo

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.
