Sometimes tormented, sometimes full of rage, Gecko Palace music sets up chilling gut-wrenching ambiances that bring you to improbable road movies where old hotels, that once aimed to be palaces, sought into oblivion... Dusty blinking neon lights will just remind you that the owners are not yet completely dead.

Discovered during its first Balkan tour, which went through Czech Republic, Hungary and Serbia, by the famous American producer Theo Hakola, Gecko Palace distils its single malt folk-rock’n’roll universe and on the razor-edge slices of life with an impressive live intensity.

Back from the prestigious Chantier des francos that revealed some of the finest French artists, Gecko Palace is signed by the Parisian label Demain la veille in 2006 and records its second album under the artistic direction of Theo Hakola (Orchestre Rouge, Noir Désir, Passion Fodder). The band tours France and plays with some of the most famous French artists (Cali, Jean-Louis Murat, Aston villa, Tété, Trust...).

In 2007, Gecko Palace is scheduled in national top level festivals such as the festival des inaperçus, in Paris, Attention talent scène of the Printemps de Bourges, the Garorock festival, or the magical site of the Théatre de la mer in Sètes for the Quand je pense à Fernande festival. During the same year, the band records a very personal cover of the French standard “Il est libre Max” for a rock compilation of national bands. This impressive version catches the attention of the author of the song who decides to release it remixed by Celmar Engel (Eurythmics, Françoise Hardy...).

In 2008, Gecko Palace is signed by New Track Music (The chase, Sidilarsen...) and releases its new album on the 13rd of October. This new record is unanimously acclaimed by the press:

"The folk-rock music of Gecko Palace has immense style..." - Rock & Folk

"A fascinating album that smells the dust and sweat of road movies... A real escape leaded by an intense spell-binding voice." - Nouvelle Vague

"A really impressive album in the folk-rock tradition... raging or moody guitars and tortured strings serve a fascinating voice..." - Chorus

"It is hard to present Gecko Palace music without being dithyrambic... this album stimulates the body, the heart, and the soul at the same time. Superb!" - Rock'n'France

"A very distinguished and personal album that is hard to categorise... Diversity and omnipresent inspiration have engendered an accomplished piece of work without any commercial concession." - Muzzart

"The perfect blend of folk and rock... Explosive ambiances and penetrating voice served by lyrics that literally carry you away... The wonderful surprise of this end of year!" - Le théâtre du bruit

Juste le besoin de raconter une histoire, des sentiments, des émotions. Ces titres ne sont pas pour moi des chansons, je ne suis pas musicien et encore moins chanteur. Dès que je sens ces émotions ou ces sentiments apparaître et que la narration est arrivée au point où je voulais l'amener, je considère les morceaux comme finis. Quant à ce que mes textes racontent réellement, seule une personne le sait et ce n'est pas moi.
