Soho Grant presents: Coffee Or Not @ The Art House \\ Support from Mike Vau...
Event Information
Description
COFFEE OR NOT
Coffee Or Not is a Belgian band based in Brussels. Soho and Renaud record music that is quite electric but where vocal harmonies have a central place. After two albums, their third record, 'SoRe', is darker, more tense, even stormy. From introspective loops to cymbals bursts, or from ethereal pads to shouts, this is now more about tickling the guts than the ears.
They perform captivating concerts, including last year's gigs at Botanique, Ancienne Belgique, Brussels Summer Festival and Réservoir Paris in 2013.

MIKE VAUGHAN
Mike Vaughan started life, as many do these days, as a fertilised embryo. It is rumoured that he came out of the womb clutching a pair of drumsticks and did a glissando on a nearby piano as he exited his mother. He hasn't actually seen the evidence, and many questions remain unanswered, like, why did they have a piano in the hospital? But given no evidence to the contrary, let’s assume these are facts.
Mike has played for many local Southampton bands and enrolled in Drumtech in Acton, part of The London College of Music and Media. During this time Mike played for the band Karmic Jera who won several awards including The Best Unsigned Band and were featured in Kerrang magazine, Metal Hammer et al. They toured the country extensively and released one album ‘Zombies Blood and Go-Go Girls’ which was a heady mix of ballads and odes to our mothers.
He likes to write songs rich in metaphor and deeper meanings. He likes cheese on toast. And movies about gladiators.
Mike Vaughan - Vocals, Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums
