Milk Teeth

Appearing sometimes as a lush, orchestrated folk outfit, with
accompaniment from some of Hong Kong’s finest instrumentalists – and
other times as a muppetty three-piece punk group, Milkteeth have made a
dizzying amount of change in the short time they’ve been together.

Although adopting a revolving-door policy with their satellite members,
the core of the group is a trio of young men with wildly different
backgrounds and musical interests: Brulez (dr.), Belgian-born, Chan
(b., gt.) a native of Hong Kong and Basha (vox., gt., man.) have nothing
in common in their iPods, but they all share a love of genre-bending and
spontaneity in their music.

Since last year’s release of the Chance EP, hailed by CBC Radio’s Tom
Power as “some of the best new-folk made in years”, Milkteeth have moved
past their initial fascination with folk genres, into more contemporary
ground. Using electric instruments, homemade doo-dads and turning a
keen eye towards experimentation in outrageously enjoyable three-minute
blips, the band are thrilled to playing at this year’s Clockenflap
Festival, joined by some notable guest performers and previewing all-new
material which will appear their new LP, due out early 2012.
