Biography
The Sweet Chap is a man at one with technology, a man at ease with his ability. A man that realises, and can manipulate, the power of song.From the seaside town of Brighton, The Sweet Chap (AKA Mike Comber) was privy to the diverse influences only Brighton could provide. Hostile and smoky amusement arcades, debauched student nights and live gigs at the legendary Concorde ? all these experiences and influences were wrestling for space within The Sweet Chap's psyche from a tender age. Fast forward through numerous bands, singer/song writing, lead and rhythm guitar, all gaining The Sweet Chap priceless performing experience. Developing a natural feel for the studio, The Sweet Chap moved into production, collaberating with artists on the Lumen Essence Label, such as The Shadowless Man and Leon9. The Sweet Chap learned the studio capabilities swiftly and soon began recording his first album, 'Disco For A Domestic.' The ?Disco For A Domestic? selection is available from Protest Recordings and demonstrates the sound of The Sweet Chap's multi-faceted approach to music. A technological genius fighting with a soul laid bare. The genre-breaker who utilises New Orleans brass alongside p-funk basslines, but isn't willing to deny his folk roots. As bass, beats and twisted disco entwine with the stark beauty of a crumbling ego and torn priorities, it creates a sense that you're eavesdropping on a private musical conversation between a man and his mind. From the beginning, the clever lyrical twists draw you to the point where you're hanging on the storyteller?s every word. With tales of an unhappy marriage (?Rummage?), and the workaholic we're all glad not to be (?Novelty Mouse Mat?) - ?Disco For A Domestic? is littered with situations we all know, or know someone who knows. If you're still searching for your soundtrack to our twisted new millenium, look no further because you've just discovered the genre breaking new sound of The Sweet Chap.
