A bit of random surfing in a moment of idleness brought up the clip in the comment below. A performer in a bar on Dallas some 7 years ago, looking and acting like a young Walter White.
What is this geeky, nerdish bloke doing, freaking out behind a keyboard and a looping set? Has he lost his mind? Is this some kind of public breakdown being filmed for social media humiliation?
Kind of sucked in, I settled in for the full 16 minutes, and was wowed by the musicianship, humour and improvisation. Started off Walter White, ended up Jesse Pinkman.
Of course, Marc Rebillet has a following in the millions, has done sellout tours of the US and Europe, and played Coachella (at least) twice.
How many more completely unknown, but world- famous musicians are there out there? How many who do what Marc does? Probably loads. They just don’t appear on the AW – until now.
Say what you think of him. Maybe he’s very familiar to you. He probably isn’t to everyone’s taste, but he’s very intriguing to me. And very funky.
