CHARLES DE GOAL
(1980's cold wave / post punk / disco)

BEATY HEART
(Experimental pop / tribal / electronics)

Charles De Goal have been around in various forms since 1980. Although now comprising of 4 band members, Charles De Goal has always been the project of one man - Patrick Blain.

With their newly added live visual set, they are becoming ever more entrancing...

Best catch 'em at Cargo before they are whisked away to foreign places around the UK and Europe.
