Nountapoukel

Squash 3000

Nountapoukel is a musical project of variable geometry, initiated by Erik M and Stéphane Affholder in 1993. This duo emerged from the ashes of the Mulhouse-based noisy rock trio This Is Daddy Long Legs (1990-1992), whose album Noise Gate was released by Jetlagprod & Atypeek Music in 2019. Made up of drums and guitar, the duo performed between 1993 and 1994, each show featuring a different guest. The first took place at the Shot Gun Gallery festival (Kill Art !) in Strasbourg-Neudorf, alongside Inner Tube, aka Guillaume Dask. Another took place during a Y-Front night at Noumatrouf in Mulhouse, in the form of a sound installation and street art piece by Erik M, as well as a Nountapoukel show accompanied by an unlikely saxophonist from the vineyards around Colmar. The Squash 3000 EP, made with saxophonist Matthieu Philémon Boetsch for Ghetto Blaster Rec.1 and La Touche*, was recorded raw, without an audience, in this Mulhouse sports venue. This unreleased archive was originally issued as an audio cassette, in an extremely limited number of copies.
