That's it, summer is over. Back on the paths of college, first jobs or school for some. It is also the end of the summer festivals and a little return on the last big festival of the year is necessary. Direction Rock en Seine.
Boulogne one afternoon and one evening. Food stalls of all kinds, vegan or not, tea, beer and alcoholic ice cream. Obviously we could not taste everything, but it must be said that the fast food stalls were particularly good. Stands of all kinds, tattoos or Dr. Martens, Samsung and cider. Suffice to say that many gifts were to be won such as headphones for example. Obviously, we came out with a gift card on the contest. Good memories like the stand where you had to ride a bike to have a fresh juice: ecological and friendly we will admit. But if we were there, it was for the music. Because we love music. Discoveries and spectacular atmospheres for concerts with different innovations. We discover all this together. Friday was a day to get your feet wet while waiting for the big atmosphere of the weekend. It must be admitted that the atmosphere was a little slow in these first hours of the festival. In terms of discoveries: DIIV, the American with the melancholic style still gives us a certain nostalgia. Diiv is particularly interesting. With an ultra personal approach to music, we feel in him a feeling of rescue. As if music were a buoy in an ocean. In any case, it is difficult to participate in a collective listening of such a personal artist. We can only recommend his album and his universe as well as his particularly interesting story. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4OrizGCKhOrW6iDDJHN9xd For the rest of the day, The Liminanas honor us with their presence. It must be admitted that the group has this little something that makes their appropriation complex. It must be admitted that the dissonance between the productions and their texts may seem strange. A concert allows us to discover a little more the group in subtleties sometimes hidden. We do not come out unconditional fan of the group but we better understand how they work, their idea of changing the voices and not having a typical singer. This allows a different appropriation of the songs and it is an idea that deserves to be noted. https://youtu.be/Mj144y9bpeo The best German band of the last 25 years was there no matter what anyone said. Kraftwerk and its robotic compositions (can we say if we do not know the band) was there. The electro music group will offer us a concert all in 3D. Well, we must admit that for those who wore glasses it was difficult to hold the plastic pair and see something. So, failing to see, we listened. Kraftwerk is a German electronic music group, it plunges us into such a particular universe. A mixture of sounds made of various noises, which influenced the entire electronic scene like Board of Canada for example. Seeing them on stage is therefore a dream for any fan of electronic music. It is true that this is the group we were most looking forward to, and if we had to tell you about a discovery or encourage you to discover a group, this would be it. https://open.spotify.com/artist/0dmPX6ovclgOy8WWJaFEUU In terms of discoveries (no, seriously! go discover Kraftwerk, they have a pretty good album called "tour de France" in addition) Nick Caves, the one who makes the soundtrack of Peaky Blinders was there. The Australian with the face of two kilometers long, played us his biggest hits. I'm not sure the word is said yet but Nick Cave is timeless, so it passes. To describe his style, one must say one thing: croon, as one no longer does. A kind of Johnny Cash with Australian sauce. A singer of loneliness, of sorrow. A singer that we like to take on car trips. That's probably why we love him because he speaks to all of us. On this concert, even more. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4UXJsSlnKd7ltsrHebV79Q That's how we go home with a certain eagerness to discover the next day, the programming and the new artists.
