2) 60's baroque/soft pop/sunshine group, seen mostly as one of the side projects that kept Michael Brown busy between his work with The Left Banke and The Stories.

For years, fans of the famed ?baroque pop? group the Left Banke have known of Montage, the mysterious group with which Left Banke mastermind Michael Brown collaborated following the breakup of the Banke. The Montage mystery was kept so well simply because few people had ever actually heard the ultra-rare album they released on Laurie Records in 1969. Recently however, the good people at Sundazed put their collective heads together and released this CD, which has finally introduced Montage to a wider audience, and also has given Left Banke fans everywhere exactly what they had been hoping for for years: more baroque pop in the Left Banke mold. Still, although similarities and comparisons to the Left Banke are unavoidable when discussing Montage, the Montage album should probably not be thought of as simply ?The Left Banke Three?.
Montage was a talented group of musicians in its own right, and although their sound is quite similar to that of the Banke, Montage were not simply Left Banke impressionists. Montage's music is so very evocative of the Left Banke because Brown produced the group, made the vocal arrangements, and co-wrote nine of the ten songs on the album.


3) The tropical beaches and sex tourism of Fortaleza city was the environment that fed Montage. The electro punk duo formed by Daniel Peixoto (lead singer and top model) and Leco Juc? (producer and unabomber) started their work in january 2005, and one year later they moved to S?o Paulo. 2007 will be known as the Montage year in Europe. The band has plans to destroy the old continent with their powerfull sound. But, first, they will finally release the first album "I Trust My Dealer" around the world, and a remix LP in Europe. The duo was voted in 2005 and 2006 "the best brazilian concert of the year" by the national biggest newspaper "Folha de S.Paulo" (same as "NY Times" or our "Le Monde", si vous pref?r?riez. New Musical Express said Montage sounds like an amplified mix of Peaches and Motorhead. The band thinks they all are right. Montage, in this couple of years, had more than 100 concerts, some of them were in big e-rock festivals as Cear? Music, Machina Festival, Abril pro Rock, Goi?nia Noise and Campari Rock, sharing the stage with Justice, Stereo Total, Benny Benassi, Supergrass, Gang of Four, The Cardigans, Neon Judgement and a lot of other great ones.
