What they say…
“Koko-Jean dazzles with a sensual and explosive stage performance!”
– La Nouvelle Republique
Koko-Jean & The Tonics are a bomb full of soul, rhythm & blues, funk and groove from the vibrant Barcelona scene.
As front-woman we have Miss Koko-Jean Davis (former singer of The Excitements). Petite and delicate at first glance, don’t be fooled by her appearance, because Koko is a whirlwind on stage. She’ll move you with a ballad or the rawness of the blues, she can raise your temperature in a few seconds with her rock’n’roll and soul. On drums we have Anton Jarl, a real rhythmic beast who puts power into every beat with his elegant yet rock’n’roller style. Dani “Patillas” Baraldés is the chameleon guitarist who makes you vibrate with the howls of his guitar. And finally we have Victor Puertas on the Hammond, one of the most recognized blues-men and harmonicists in Catalonia. His swing and groove are an essential part of this group.
The band made their debut in February of 2020 with EP Hairwhip, produced by Dani Nel·lo, followed by EP Please Mr. Milton in October of the same year, where they featured the saxophonist as a guest. In October 2021, they released their first album, Shaken & Stirred, and since then they have been touring tirelessly throughout the Iberian peninsula, France, Portugal and Italy, and have participated in notable cycles such as Artistas En Ruta and Girando Por Salas. Additionally, in 2022 they released the 7” “Sick & Tired” with two unreleased songs and in 2023 they appeared as guests on the popular TV3 program “Euforia”.
Since then the band has continued to leave its mark on the music scene, touring intensely all around Spain and France, and also played shows in Portugal, Italy and even Morocco. Now they are ready to unveil their sophomore full-length Love Child, which offers a more sophisticated take on their blend of soul, rock’n’roll, rhythm and blues, with additional string and vocal arrangements, as they keep doing what they do best: make you sing along as you shake your money maker!
