Abhcan
Abhcan is a progressive metal band from Paris, France, since around 1998.
We are playing music for our own fun once a week.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Abhcan was born in Seine-et-Marne, France, around 1996 with high school friends: Dreamlolo (whom you can found on Soundclick) Gast, Steph' & Gaëlle. They had trouble founding a drummer... so they posted an ad on the internet! That's where I came in, the end of 1998! We first practised on metal & hard rock covers. Then we came with our own material. We ended up recording our demo-6-songs CD, by summer of 2002 (we like taking our time!). That's when Dreamlolo decided to move in the south of France. As sad as we were, it took us 2 years to find someone who could decently replace him! Please welcome Stéphane aka Pimousse. And now we're pretty much ready to play live again!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We played live twice for Emergenza contest (http://www.emergenza.net/) in 2003 at Le Gibus (http://www.gibus.fr/)
