about
There are two bands that go by the name Petit Mal: 1. Petit Mal are Melanie Gilligan and Benedict Seymour, an artist and writer respectively, who first started to publicly release music as part of the Antifamily collective in London. The duo have been described as practicing a kind of electro-pop fusion of Chris and Cosey and Alain Robbe-Grillet, with Gilligan’s icily melancholic vocals and Seymour’s synths and piano staking out an unironic reinvention of post-punk and electro sounds. https://myspace.com/petitmalpetitmal 2. Grace Locke Ward and Chris Ford formed Petit Mal in 2004 in Iowa City, Iowa. As a four-piece, which includes Rachel Feldmann on bass and vocals and Adam Havlin on drums and vocals, the band cites influences ranging from stoner metal icons The Melvins to fabulous Jewish Elvis himself Neil Diamond. This gamut produces a sound purely Petit Mal - anchoring compelling melodies to gigantic unyielding riffs for heavy poppy rock revelry.
