BARTON FINK
Barton Fink draws influences from various musical backgrounds and puts it together in a new, crazy and electrifying way. It's members are a mixture of cool jazz cats, aggressive punks and motown soul-brothers. The songs are sometimes soulful like Gnarls Barkley, aggressive like Justice, rock like Radiohead or snap and pop like Outkast.
At the control center are the brothers - Vagan and Charly Aden. Both were born in Russia and lived there for a decade. Growing up in the midst of british and american rock (Oasis and Lenny Kravitz), hip-hop (Big Punisher) and electronic music (Prodigy), the Aden brothers were making music from a very early age. Vagan (age 14) and Charly (age 10) had a gangster rap duo called The Aden Brothus.
Barton Fink was formed with a mission to destroy musical cliches and create something new and outrageous. The live shows are cathartic and intimidating. It's not a night to bring your first date to. It's in your face and the boys never play it safe by being loud, mean and most of all - very imaginitive and groovy.
The first album "Gear" was recorded at the Troublemakers studio with Cristobal Tapia de Veer in the control room (Beast, Plaster, One Ton...). The album features a remix of one of the songs by Marc Bell with Malicious rapping on one verse. It is now being hyped and promoted for March 2011.
