Sheebaba is an artistic duo composed of Eliott Eccho and Prof. Costello. They represent a true wave of experimental and conceptual art. They are strong, performative and embrace industrial failure. Their works are described as all the colors of the rainbow and they are a clear sign of resistance against hate.
“Radau” is their noisy but fun interpretation of the music that created them. This work follows “bruit” and mentions not only their musical origins, but also tells the story of their influences in a brutally honest way. Sheebaba, always searching for reinvention, face their daily struggles head-on, blurring the lines between personal pain and storytelling on stage. The process is loud, and that is what“RADAU” represents.
With “bruit“, the duo reveals a synaesthetic tonality that paints simple but irregular textures of industrial failure, fuzz and noise. Along the way, they synthesize textural and tonal fragments from a wide panorama of pop music history, film, and everyday life. Thanks this refreshing and multilingual juxtaposition, an enigmatic narrative mosaic emerges. Powered by the hard pressure of machines, their sound formations don’t escape the desire for an organic tone. Some tracks invite to walk along with them, while others give way to calmer melodic and vocal layers, only to upset these fragile tonal structures once again. “Bruit” offers a genre-bending proto-wave between kitsch and noise, pushing the listener with visions of a lost future.”
Since their live debut in the summer of 2021, Sheebaba have given concerts in Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, supporting bands such as Fatamorgana (ES), Henge (UK), Gustaf (US), Lathe of Heaven (US), and Das Kinn (DE). They have participated in performances in L’Aia, Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Lucerne and Mainz. In the summer of 2022, they performed at Amsterdam Fashion Week during Rosa Kampinga’s catwalk presentation, and they have participated in festivals and art spaces in Luxembourg and Mainz. In spring 2024, they embarked on a small tour with Swiss Drag Queen LaMer to promote the EP “radau,” released in April 2024. Both of singles of “radau”, “big bull” and “chambre rouge,” have been placed on Spotify’s official Fresh Finds GSA and Insomnia playlists.
