"They have mixed Zappa, Etron Fou Leloublan, King Crimson, Adrian Belew, Gong, Magma, the psychedelic, avant-garde, to concoct a musical machine... zany and crazy, which has freed itself from many formal conventions... Everyone is unanimous in recognizing the talent and boundless imagination of these musicians." - Harmonie Magazine
"...a jewel that is reassuring about the ability of some of today's artists to think outside of the box, and offer up music that is both different
and fearless." - Progressia Magazine
The foundations of French band JACK DUPON go back to 2001, but it wasn't until 2006 that the group surfaced with their first release, L'Africain Disparu. Already the audacity and spirit that defines JACK DUPON was in place. Since then they have developed a reputation for exceptional live shows ("Best Band," Brugheas festival, 2007; 4th Prize out of 1800 entrants and "Best Bassist," Bilborock festival, Spain, 2007) and released eclectic, creative and acclaimed albums: L'Echelle du Désir in 2008 (Top 50 albums of the year, 'Délire Musical,' CFLX-FM, Quebec), and Démon Hardï in 2011 (#1 Progressive Rock CD, Arlequins). Bascule á Vif is a recent two-disc set capturing the energy of JACK DUPON live.
After their performance at the 2010 preshow, we received many requests to host them at Storybook Farm. The audience will be in for a treat when JACK DUPON takes the main stage at ProgDay 2012.
