Singer-songwriter and Alternative rocker, Rob Decoup, is set to play at Cafe Wha? on the 21st of February. Musically, Rob is influenced by legends such as The Beatles, The Doors, Dylan, Hendrix, and his sound’s power comes from the feverish energy of Metallica and Guns N’ Roses. Rob has been on the road since he was a boy, the things he’s seen and lived—from London to Vienna from Italy to NYC—is the tale of the poet traveler, absorbing the stories and terrors of our time with a songwriter’s eye and mind, then throwing it back into the world through rock music that has the burned and haunted edge roots of classic blues music pain.
Rob Decoup also holds a PhD in Political Science, which means he’s a natural communicator between cultures, between citizens of the world and those in power; Rob isn’t on a mission to make your body simply dance, he aspires to be a positive influence by shaping the world around him through music.
Rob’s latest song “Burn Me To The Ground” is available as a single on iTunes, while a video for the same song has also been released on Youtube. Other popular tunes by Rob Decoup include; “Say Hello To Misery,” “Stranded In Marseilles” and “Pain”.

A glimpse at Rob’s Youtube Channel will unveil some live footage of the Rob Decoup Band performing at Fat Baby in New York, as well as some clips of Rob doing a few covers in an unplugged situation. Last but not least there’s a great interview which introduces the band and gives a little insight into Rob’s background and musical roots.
As certified in a recent review, the single “Burn Me To The Ground” has its own edge of Americana and Alternative Rock influences built-in. It runs a strong range of dynamics. The melody is juxtaposed against a solid acoustic-rock time signature and meandering song structure, while Rob flaunts his raunchy vocals across the arrangement, with feel and determination.
So anybody who likes good solid rock n’ roll and is in and around 115 Macdougal, between Bleecker and W 3rd, New York, NY on the 21st of February, do yourself a favor and pop over to Cafe Wha? to catch Rob Decoup live!
