Carpenter Brut in Nîmes

Carpenter Brut is a French electronic music project created in 2012 by producer Franck Hueso. Its dark synthwave draws on horror-film scores, 1980s action cinema and heavy metal; the project is known for “Turbo Killer” and “Roller Mobster,” the early EP collection Trilogy, and the albums Leather Teeth and Leather Terror. The concert album CARPENTERBRUTLIVE documented the touring show in 2017. Hueso performs the material as part of a trio featuring electric guitar and live drums, a format taken to Coachella in 2018 and other major festival stages. The Leather Terror Tour followed in 2022.
