BRIGITTE BUHLMANN-POGET, vocal
A natural and soulful expression in her voice, an attraction of a sort... inspiring and addictive...

LAURENT POGET, guitar
He's able to get a f.... tone out of anything that's got strings on!! Holds the band together... A little shy but never with his guitar...

LIVE BAND with...

CHRISTOPHE CALPINI, drums, percussions, piano, sampler
The play master and the most iconoclastic bastard in the world!! Awesome...!!

MIMMO PISINO, bass
Fragile as a child hidden in a big italian frame, he's a very charming guy!!Beside that, he lays down a powerful bass...

DANIEL PEREZ, guitar
His gipsy attitude is strikingly original and unexpected in this format... a perfect balance in the Live band... far out man !!

Dress, un son, une voix, des textes qui ne tombent pas dans les stéréotypes de la plupart des musiques actuelles. L'originalité du groupe est un mélange de sensualité soul vocal et d'influences rock.

Dress est un nouveau groupe suisse, mouvance pop anglaise, fondé à Lausanne en 2005, composé de Brigitte Buhlmann-Poget (vocal) et Laurent Poget (guitares). La rencontre d'une voix et d'un guitariste qui, malgré des backgrounds musicaux différents, créent un son original inspiré par... Sting, Seal, Prince, Stevie Wonder (Brigitte) ou Led Zeppelin, The Police, Radiohead, Coldplay (Laurent).

Le courant passe : ils écrivent et composent ensemble leurs premiers morceaux en 2003. Après quelques démos, le groupe voit le jour. En 2005, convaincus du potentiel de leur musique, ils décident d'enregistrer un album au Studio Artefax à Lausanne avec Bernard Amaudruz , ingénieur du son et co-réalisateur. Pour exprimer pleinement la personnalité de cet album, ils font appel à la créativité de Pierre Audétat , claviers, sampler, Christophe Calpini , batterie, percussions, Mimmo Pisino , basse.

Album sorti en Suisse chez Disques Office, mars 2007.
