K.O.L.O live!

March 2004 : John Lennon had already been dead for 24 years, Radiohead had completed its sixth album and not a single Fender Rhodes piano had been made for 30 years when Eric Kolo met Stephan Guex in Geneva.
The first chords of the still-to-come band K.O.L.O, were born from their acute obsession for music. Eric Kolo would write the lyrics and sing with his caressing low voice.
He and Stephan Guex, would weave a subtle universe tinted with melancholy and illuminated by the purity and the clarity of the melodies. Their compositions flow between light pop, nonchalant folk and explosive rock’n’roll, showing at times an influence of artists and band such as Thom Yorke, Elbow or Damien Rice.
Eric Kolo began to try out their music in the bars of New York, his second home. Then, in 2005 he decided to set himself up in Geneva and together with Stephan assembled their group K.O.L.O: Laurent Nicolas on drums, Mathieu Karcher on guitar and Blaise Pitteloud on bass, who joined the original duo.

After a serie of concerts ( La Maroquinerie, Paris, France, The Cully Jazz Festival, Switzerland, le Paléo Festival, Switzerland, Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland..), K.O.L.O has released his first album "Songs for a sleepwalker", that has been mixed by Laurent Nicolas and Stéphane Guex and mastered at the Bagdad Studio by Daniel Laurent.
