Biography

Formed in Bordeaux, France, during the fall of 2001 by energetic frontwoman Caroline Martial and keyboardist Orion Bouvier, Kap Bambino didn't wait for the burgeoning indie dance scene to embrace the duo before they starting putting out their eight-bit noise dance records. Instead, Martial and Bouvier started their own label, Wwilko, and released the first Kap Bambino EP, Naz4, in limited edition in early 2002. The next year a split LP, Love (with Martial's other group, Khima France) came out, followed by the Neutral EP in 2005. Kap Bambino's name began showing up in a variety of European music publications, and in late 2006 their first actual CD, Zero Life, Night Vision was released. After successful dates in various British music festivals over the summer of 2007 (including Dot to Dot), London-based Alt Delete Records signed Kap Bambino, issuing their single "Hey/New Breath" that same year, with the 12" version of Zero Life, Night Vision coming the following February.
