MENSCH
MENSCH, a brand new band, formed in early 2010, is a duo composed of Vale Poher and Carine di Vita, aka Marilou.
With her 2005 solo project under her belt, Vale Poher produced two albums (Mute in 2005 & Tauten in 2008) and two EPs (Blue Time vs Suspense &3×2), both of which met with critical acclaim. Alongside this, she collaborated on a vast array of projects in a number of artistic fields : from theatrical productions with Vincent Roumagnac, to Fine Arts with Saâdane Afif (winner of the Marcel Duchamp Award in 2009) and a stint in the film industry with Vergine Keaton (award for best music at the Clermont Ferrand Festival for The Short Film in 2010).
Vale Poher has also featured in the works of other musicians :
Doctor Flake, Flore, Mansfield Tya…
In 2008, she created the Vale Poher Group, through which she met the
bassplayer Carine Di Vita, aka Marilou. As for Marilou (vocal/bass or guitar),
she has worked with many bands.
After 2 years of collaboration, the lady musicians then decided to embark
on a new project, seeking a balance between rock and electro: the result
was MENSCH.
Bass / Guitar / Keyboards and Beatboxes, aerial vocals and catchy tunes.
The duo combines rock, kraut, pop, afrobeat & new wave, all of which make up the Mensch sound… somewhere between LCD Soundsystem and Blondie… let’s dance and die !
