S&m Presents: Dééfait
The Spiel
Sidney & Matilda Presents: Dééfait + Alchemy + The 12th House Formed in 2023, Dééfait was born out of a collision: that of the Valero brothers (guitar/drums, members of Pays P.), Enir Da (bass – Temir Alcy, Dali Muru & the Polyphonic Swarm), Ric Lara (vocals) and Grégoire Couvert (guitar).A wave of noise where landmarks fade away and haunted incantations, hammered percussion and layers of white noise become language.Carried by a sound spectrum where the shadows of krautrock, noise, proto-punk and dilapidated psychedelia intersect, Dééfait is reminiscent of Nick Cave in his Birthday Party days on helium, a distant echo of Damo Suzuki's CAN passing through a wall of amplifers.A debut EP was released on December the 12th 2025 on the French label Ici, d'ailleurs label (Zëro, Chapelier Fou, Mendelson, Aho Ssan...) and a debut LP is expected for September 2026. £7 ADV / £10 OTD Doors - 7:45pm
