B-Movie
Orchestra Biography
“An exiting trip on the main roads
and backstreet alleys of Crime,
Horror, Erotica, Science Fiction en Spaghettiwesterns.”
Almost everyone is familiar with the European/
American b-movie/ grindhouse/ exploitation genre from the sixties and
seventies. Films that seem to be a bit extraneous, but somehow irresistible.
The score from these films, the music, plays a big part in this phenomenon. The
music may be, like the movies themselves, a bit out-dated, yet at the same
time, it is still very interesting. It has a swing, it’s cool, erotic and
dangerous.
Think for instance about Italian movies,
like ‘La Polizia Ha Le Mani Legate’, a
spaghetti western, like ‘The Good, the Bad & the Ugly’, secret agents, like
‘Diabolik and Mission Impossible’, and the naive soft erotica from ‘Black
Emanuelle’ and sci-fi babe ‘Barbarella’.
These are just, one could say, the ‘well known’ b-movies. But
the treasury of b-movies that have fallen into oblivion contains much more
gems.
There’s so much more for time traveling
to the special ambiance of the b-movie era, attractive for everybody, young and
old.

Orchestra
In 2009, drummer, producer Baz Mattie
decided that the time had come to create a large group of musicians and visual
artists to assemble his favorite music, with a visual experience. Thus B-Movie
Orchestra was born with the ultimate goal is to give he audience an
unforgettable B-Movie experience.
Sound
Funky big band psycho-beat for erotic
thrilling fiction would be the musical wrap up of B-Movie Orchestra has to
offer you. Groovy, raw psychedelic music, combined with Big Band and dark
mystic rhythms.
Vocalists with B-Movie Orchestra are The
Cinematic Fever Girls. Don’t expect too much from the lyrics though, they’ll
stick to some delightful Aaah’s and heavenly Ooooh’s, so much for libretto. These exclamations of voluptuousness however,
are served to you with such a large amount of empathy, that there wouldn’t be
much of a B-Movie Orchestra without The Cinematic Fever Girls.
Cinema
During a live performance of B-Movie Orchestra, music
and image are fired simultaneously at you, mashing sound tracks and filmclips
to a Total B-Movie Experience.
Listening to the eye you will see a dazzling array of paramount
excerpts of movies from which the music has been taken.
A visual world where the guns are shooting, the cars
are chasing, the erotica intoxicates and where cartoon heroes transform into
moviestars.
To complete the B-Movie ethos, the music is staged and
supported with a truly magnificent interactive visual performance of the
creative image sampler Jochem van Tol.
