Gregor Samsa

Born in the early 2000s in Virginia in the United States, Gregor Samsa (named after Franz Kakfa's Metamorphosis protagonist) is initiated by Champ Bennett (Guitare / Chant). He surrounds himself with Nikki King (Piano / Claviers / Chant), Nick Wurz (Basse), Nathan Alice (Guitare / Claviers) and Earl Yevak (Battery) for the release of a split with The Silent Type in 2001, a first eponym that appeared in 2002 at Iodine Records followed by theep 27:36 in 2003 republished the following year with an additional song named oo . Quickly compared to Sigur Ros, Mum or Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Gregor Samsa gives a post-rock tinted with Shoegaze, built on a male/female vocal duo with Champ Bennett and Nikki King for performers. For the sequel to Gregor Samsa , the duo surrounds Jason Laferrera (Basse / Claviers) and Champ's brother Billy Bennett (Battery / Vibraphone / Percussions) for the composition of a split with Red Sparowes and album 55:12 by The Kora Records and Own Records. The combo career finally took off in 2006 with the success of the split and album and became considered one of the most gifted bands in the discipline. Champ and Nikki recruit many musicians, including Mia Matsumiya (Violon) and Toby Driver (Clarinet / Guitar / Bass / Vibraphone) by Kayo Dot, but also Jeremiah Klinger (Guitare / Clarinet / Piano) Cory Bise (Basse), Andrew Miller (Vello), Alex Aldi (Claviers), Alan Weatherhead (Guitare), Rock Alverson (Chant) and Debra Wassum (Chant). That's how Gregor Samsa released an ambitious second album as a confirmation with Rest in 2008 followed by live Over Air in 2009. Since then, Gregor Samsa has not given any new signs of life.
