2-12 I Wanna Go Home

Head mistress of the Lausanne punk-rap scene, La Gale is Vitesse Records' first full blown recording artist. True to her name (la gale does mean scabies, for all of you dermatology fans out there) her lyrics are (a)socially (im)pertinent, (sur)realistic or mean(ingful). The words darkly flow on a wave of rancid, crazy old school electro beats courtesy of Christian Pahud, the man behind acclaimed pioneers Larytta and Honey For Petzi.

The Cowboys are coming to town! Shut down the stores, hide your daughters in your homes and put your valuables in a safe place – the wild riders from hell are not shy about using their Colts!
When the Cowboys perform, nothing stays in place. The trio makes its daring musical forays through styles and melodies as if a blizzard would sweep through the alleyways.
