mr lab! is a French band created by Yves Labbé. After touring for years around France and UK, he decided in 2002 to create his own band with friends he met around.

He first started as a guitar player with Kitsch and Franck Langolff in France, then went to England and worked with Chris Jagger and Chris Kemsey on another french project : Underpressure. He ended up in Oedipussy, Phil Parfitt’s new band (ex. Perfect Disaster).

Then, during five years, Yves toured in France and in UK, worked with Chris Birkett (GB), Baby Porcelain (Australia) and different artists to finally decide that… it’s time to go… with mr lab!

From now on, Yves (Lead & guitar), Frank Bessard (Drums & BV), “Toz” (Bass & BV), Greg Boust (DJ, ambience & BV) and Thomas Schaettel form the band Mr Lab!

5 musicians, 5 experiences put together for a unique atmosphere, a trip to imaginary worlds. You’ll find a beautiful mid-tempo ambience suddenly stopped by a wall of distorted guitar sound and big beats.

Mr Lab! has a real and impressive live experience too and played with Moby, Archive, Jean Louis Aubert (Telephone), Feeders… as support band. Many gigs in France, Germany and hungary.

First album “and now it’s time to go” have a large press critics success and 2 French awards (FAIR 2006, Saceme "les autres prods"). In September 2006 release in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In March 07 the second album “the post industrial ceremony”will release.
