The Montpellier, FRANCE-based act Rinôçérôse
were created by Jean-Philippe Freu and Patrice 'Patou' Carrié in
the mid-'90s; founding duo has never hidden their double lives, psychologists
by day, musicians by night and the name of the band stems from a rather
psychotropic rendering of a rhino done by a psychiatric patient that appealed
to the band's aesthetic and outsider status.
Both Freu and Carrié decided to create a unique variety of House
music using only guitars, which seemed impossible given the highly electronic
or sequenced nature of the genre; they quickly released their eponymous
debut EP taking their music on the road with an impressive live line-up:
three guitarists, a flutist, a synth player, a bassist, a percussionist
and a drummer.
Soon after, the French major-label Pias signed Rinôçérôse
and released the 4-track EP "Le Mobilier" in June 1998.
A support gig for Underworld in Paris cemented the group's rather tenuous
credentials in the dance world and the band finally delivered their proper
full-length debut, "Installation Sonore", to V2 Records in mid-1999.
"Music Kills Me" followed in early 2002 reaching the #22 spot
on the Billboard Top Electronic Albums chart.
In September 2005 Rinôçérôse returned with
their third full-length CD, "Schizophonia"; this album, which
simultaneously mixes energy and electro beats with Rock guitar rage, includes
the single "Cubicle", the track used in the new iPod advert.
