1. Grenouille is the solo project of Javier Afonso, born in Canary Islands in 1984. After he had spent half of his live playing in bands, he decided to record all the songs that he had accumulated throughout the years in home studio. From the result of these recordings, he made an album called "Shadows of the lagoon" and adopted the pseudonym "Grenouille", inspired by Patrick Suskind's "Perfume". Once the recording process was finished, he decided to move to London, with just a bag full of instruments. There he started to develop the project, merging the music with his other artistic facets like video and photography. Currently he is writing songs for his second album while looking for musicians and creating videos for his live performances

2. Un nuovo Jean-Baptiste, un nuovo ranocchio ? nato. Non a Parigi: questa volta gli ? toccata Milano.
E pur di sentirne l'odore sono pronti a mandarla a fuoco e rimanere l?, fermi, col naso in aria. Il nero delle anime stravolte dalle proprie fragilit?, il rosso della rabbia e della voglia di farsi forza, e alzarsi.
Almeno per farsi male, per sentire di essere ancora vivi, ancora qui. Chitarre acide e impietose, una ritmica scolpita nel cemento, le stazioni della metropolitana e le storie di chi vi sale con la pece nel cuore e un fiammifero in tasca. Figli illegittimi dei Sonic Youth e degli Alice in Chains, signore e signori: i Grenouille "Saltando dentro al fuoco": in uscita a novembre 2008. Il loro album d'esordio, pi? che una promessa, un manifesto.
