Partant de l'idée du compositeur et guitariste-chanteur Jason Burtally (ex-Lacrymogènes, ex-Bumpers), de faire un groupe pop rock experimental, KUNG-FU 77 vit le jour en 2000 et se retrouva très vite sur les planches avec Lilian Gish, Flexa Lyndo, Sharko, Mud Flow,,... Après une période de pause en 2004, un changement de line-up s'imposa. Entouré, d'un nouveau répertoire et d'une nouvelle source de motivation et d'esprits enthousiastes, le groupe revient et a actuellement atteint une certaine maturité et une maîtrise certaine, KUNG-FU 77 est plus que jamais prêt à offrir sa musique au public. Ses dernières incluent des premières parties avec Hitch, Singe Blanc, Triggerfinger, Les Anges, Sportdoen, Nestor… Le récent changement de line-up était nécessaire et bénéfique: le groupe laisse sa personnalité s'exprimer en repoussant les limites de sa conception musicale: mariant idées mélodiques, contrastes divers, un bon dosage entre accalmies et moments forts, émotions et recherches de son... Le tout nous donne un indie-rock "personnalisé", avec une maîtrise scénique originale des morceaux et des effets visuels qui donnent une toute autre dimension à leur musique.

-          CD 4 titres « Drive-By Shootings » (2003). Petite note : David Bartholome de Sharko  collabore sur un titre experimental : « Cigar over the Seine ». Ce CD est distribué par l’agence Hysterias (www.hysterias.com)

-    CD 9 titres « I Wish You Were Here » (2008). Enregistré au Think’n’Talk Studio par Philippe Ledent (juste après Puggy), on y retrouve comme invitée l’incomparable Lili Sygta sur Warm.

Everything's started by the will of Jason Burtally (ex-Lacrymogènes, ex-Bumpers, The Ratzingers) to set up a new Experimental pop-rock band. KUNG-FU 77's adventures began in december 2000 and was quickly on the same stage of famous belgian bands at this moment as Lilian Gish, Flexa Lyndo, Dimitri, Sharko, Mud Flow, Da Familia, Singe Blanc, Semitones,Hitch, Triggerfinger, Les Anges, Sportdoen, Nestor…... After a short break, some new line-up gave a fresh kick with Gilles Guillaume (drums) and Arnaud Larcier (bass-vox). So, the band's back and got more maturity and a personal music style influenced by a bunch of others bands that belong to different times and different genres! KUNG-FU 77's more than ever ready to give some thrills to his audience with a stunning tracklist including catchy rock songs and melancholic pop songs; mixed with a touch of noisy guitars and unusual double voices singing at the same time. The last gigs has been done with nice major kick-ass bands close to the KUNG-FU 77's musical approach, check this out: Hitch, Dancing Naked Ladies, Sportdoen, Zeroscope, Les Anges, Jacob Maersk...

Releases: "KUNG-FU 77" (1st demo-2001), "Stereo Reel" (2d demo-2002), "Drive-By Shootings" ( E.P.-2004, including D. Bartholomé from Sharko on a title) and the very recently baby: "I Wish You Were Here" (L.P.-2008). From the start 'till now, the main idea's still there and the evolution just don't stop; this little group's still growing and learning how to deal with his scenic presence in every stage; no matter what! Actually, you may find us among independant compilations as the "2d volume of Massacrés belges" and the " Compilation 1". Check out our Myspace friends for more informations about that, you should find 'em easily...

The musical past of frontman Jason's pretty full of experiences: he shared the stage with major french alternative rock band as a teenager (Slugs, René Binamé, Forget Mi Note, No Man's Land), then with Queens Of The Stone Age and Marky Ramone, has given some help to Torpid, Major Deluxe, Sportdoen and did a couple of TV theme for Mobistar ads. Changing the long running line-up was inevitable and useful after the short break of KUNG-FU 77. Now, Gilles, Greg and Arnaud used to let their personality go and push their own musical conceptions limits out; linking melodic ideas, sonic contrasts and lotta mixed peaceful and strong moments without forget the feelings and the sound research... The whole thing could be heard under what we could named a personalised indie rock pretty original and 100% sincere during each performance. We hope you'll like our music just the way we do...
