DURACELL
(Adaadat)
Duracell is Andre Diamant/Andrew Dymond, unique one-man live-drumming phenomenon from Lyon. Using lightning-precision playing on a stripped-down kit and electronic triggers to play 8-bit chiptunes, noise rock, he isn't afraid to acknowledge his influences via covers of the likes of Lightning Bolt, Aphex Twin alongside his favourite retro games such as Space Harrier and Turrican. Duracell is mainly a live project but Andre has recorded with DJ Scotch Egg.
