Mais, et c’est une vraie spécificité, en grandissant dans la fidélité. Sa programmation a su conserver l’audace de la première édition en offrant aux enfants du rock d’Île-de-France et d’au-delà aussi bien des têtes d’affiche e internationales que des artistes émergents, comme ceux que l’on peut découvrir dans le cadre des “Avant-Seine”. Pour moi, c’est ça l’état d’esprit de Rock en Seine : jouer à plein ce rôle de défricheur de jeunes talents et faire la part belle aux meilleurs groupes du moment. Mixer machines à danser et univers plus intimistes. Conquérir un public à la fois large et pointu. Le tout en Île-de-France, sur le magnifique terrain de jeux du Domaine de Saint-Cloud. Grâce à Rock en Seine, plus besoin de chercher de l’air frais musical au loin. On peut désormais jouer à domicile, prolonger de la meilleure manière qui soit l’été et surtout prendre des forces avant la rentrée, avec la meilleure playlist du moment ! Extrait de la publication Extrait de la publication PAR is T ENU L’HISTOIRE D’UN FestiVAL sur le papier, le projet paraissait insensé. organiser un festival à la fin de l’été dans une ville déjà submergée par les concerts et autres manifestations culturelles s’apparentait pour certains à une mission impossible. pourtant, servi par une équipe tenace et quelques soutiens indéfectibles, rock en seine est devenu en l’espace de dix ans un rendez-vous estival incontournable, et a transformé le dernier week-end du mois d’août en grand-messe de la rentrée musicale. Voilà comment l’équipe de l’événement a gagné son paris. exposition rock’Art 2009, affiche Marie caillou La statue des Arts et de l'Industrie au Domaine national de Saint-Cloud Extrait de la publication Rock en Seine_BAT_01_07_2012.indd 16 03/07/12 10:04 EN CHOISISSANT LE BAS DU DOMAINE DE SAINT-CLOUD, LES ORGANISATEURS RENOUENT AVEC UNE TRADITION PUISQUE C’EST À CET ENDROIT PRÉCIS DU PARC QUE LA VILLE ORGANISAIT DES FÊTES FASTUEUSES AU XVII e SIÈCLE.

Désormais obnubilé par les problèmes d’un monde en déliquescence, Massive Attack utilise un écran géant pour propager des messages alarmants. Accompagnés par le vétéran Horace Andy et la diaphane Dot Allison, les hommes de Bristol alignent leurs hits comme à la parade (Karmacoma, Teardrop, Unfi nished Sympathy…) alors qu’au loin, le magasin Darty de Boulogne- Billancourt est la proie des fl ammes et qu’une pluie de cendres s’abat, sans danger, sur le site – certains pensent même un instant que cette averse inopinée fait partie du spectacle… Ce n’est pas encore la fi n du monde, mais déjà celle de la première édition de Rock en Seine. Rendez-vous est pris pour l’année suivante. Le collectif de Bristol reviendra, lui, sept ans plus tard.

En effet, par trois fois (en 2005, 2007 et 2010), dont deux comme tête d’affi che, Win Butler, Régine Chassagne et leurs comparses ont électrifi é le parc de Saint-Cloud. On a surtout pu juger sur pièce de l’incroyable essor de leur popularité, gagnée sans tricher à l’aune de leurs trois albums. Ambassadeurs d’une musique fi évreuse et habitée, grand écart vertigineux entre folk et new-wave, “ces gens-là ont une générosité dingue, un élément indissociable des festivals : il s’agit du meilleur groupe de scène que j’aie jamais vu…”, résume François Missonnier. “Ils sont capables de soulever trente mille personnes avec élégance.” Et même de narguer les éléments. Comme lors de leur prestation en 2010, quand un orage s’est invité à la fête. Doudou s’en rappelle encore : “Des trombes d’eau se sont abattues sur le site et avec la direction du vent, le groupe ne pouvait plus jouer. La scène était inondée. Alors, Arcade Fire a entonné Wake Up a capella et retourné la situation. Et d’une galère, est né un instant magique, y compris pour le public trempé jusqu’aux os.” Extrait de la publication Rock en Seine_BAT_01_07_2012.indd 51 03/07/12 15:21 BJÖRK DIMANCHE 26 AOÛT 2007 GRANDE SCÈNE, 21H30 La petite Islandaise incarne le bouquet fi nal de l’édition 2007. Trois mois auparavant, cette artiste protéiforme a renoué avec des sonorités plus organiques en réalisant Volta, septième album “solo” marqué par l’Afrique, le tsunami en Indonésie et quelques invités de marque. Sur une scène colorée, Björk est volubile, accompagnée entre autres par Mark Bell (éminence du groupe pionnier electro LFO et fi dèle collaborateur depuis Homogenic sorti en 1997) et épaulée par une section de cuivres. Dix-neuf chansons et une pluie de cotillons plus tard, elle fait mine de s’évanouir dans l’obscurité avant de réapparaître derrière les platines du bar VIP du festival pour fêter l’anniversaire de l’un de ses musiciens. Quant au président du Conseil régional Jean-Paul Huchon, il reste sous le charme d’un “spectacle exceptionnel. C’était très particulier, mais ça rentrait très bien dans la magie de la nuit de Saint-Cloud. Ça n’avait plus rien à voir avec du rock, c’était de la musique globale.” Extrait de la publication Rock en Seine_BAT_01_07_2012.indd 60 03/07/12 10:04 Rock en Seine_BAT_01_07_2012.indd 61 03/07/12 10:04 BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB VENDREDI 27 AOÛT 2010 SCÈNE DE LA CASCADE, 21H00 Noir, c’est noir.

This phenomenon questions the coexistence of different languages within local music practices. In this article, I argue that we cannot fully understand this issue without addressing the sacred dimension of language in popular music, which entails two aspects: 1) the transitory experience of an ideal that challenges intelligibility, and 2) the entanglement with social norms and institutions. Further to which, I compare Latin hegemony during the Middle Ages and the contemporary French popular music, where English and French coexist in a context marked by globalisation and ubiquitous digital technologies.

Paris City Hall helps the city’s nightlife scene to find new event spaces, such as basements and the city’s former ‘petite ceinture’ railway line, to continue to promote nightlife that is varied, open-spirited, and benevolent.’ Frédéric Hocquard, Deputy Mayor of Paris, in charge of Nightlife and Cultural Economy NIGHT & DAY PARIS FESTIVE 2 → Press file 2018 – Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau EDITORIAL BY THE AUTHORS This file on Festive Paris: Night & Day aims to show you just what a great place to party Paris is in the 21st century. 2018 is a year full of challenges for partying in Paris. Parisian nightlife is ever-changing. It is being reinvented and shaken up by new projects for night owls and party people. Nightlife is now more than ever for those in the know. The night has become multi-faceted, itinerant, and scattered, partly due to land constraints. Many capital cities have lost their music venues to residential developments. As Paris is resistant to ‘giga clubs’, partying is developing beyond the city’s ring road and being enjoyed by people in the Greater Paris area.

  • Mckrell 1 Teddy Mckrell Professor Sonevytsky Music, Sexuality
    McKrell 1 Teddy McKrell Professor Sonevytsky Music, Sexuality & Gender 2 June 2018 Standing Next To Me The Last Shadow Puppets are a rock supergroup fronted by Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane. They released their first album The Age of the Understatement in ​ 2008, then went back to their respective projects before getting back together in 2016 to release Everything You’ve Come to Expect. While there was not much of a tour for their first album, they ​ performed together a few times in the interim, and their 2016 album had a much more aggressive tour schedule. Over the course of their recent album’s promotion and subsequent tour, Miles and Alex played up what British GQ and NME both termed “a certain bromance” in entirely different articles, playing off the title of a song from the Arctic Monkeys’ first album (Lynskey 2016; Perry 2016). At times, Miles and Alex’s interactions seem like the joke these publications assume it to be; often in interviews it feels as if the two are egging each other on. However, in live performance their interactions tend to take on a different tone, one that oscillates between moments that are clearly staged, even choreographed, and more spontaneous moments that feel sincerely intimate. Neither Miles nor Alex has actually said anything official regarding their sexuality, so it is entirely possible for one or both to be a member of the LGBT community. However, it is also possible that both are heterosexual men who have never felt the need to publicly identify as such.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 9, 2017 GROUPLOVE ANNOUNCE FALL TOUR LA-BASED QUINTET JOIN IMAGINE DRAGONS ON NORTH AMERICAN ARENA TOUR BEGINNING IN PHOENIX ON SEPTEMBER 28TH CURRENT SINGLE “GOOD MORNING” ASCENDING THE ALTERNATIVE RADIO CHART “LITTLE MESS” EP NOW AVAILABLE IN ADDITION TO ACCLAIMED FULL LENGTH ALBUM “BIG MESS” LISTEN TO “GOOD MORNING” (KXA REMIX) HERE Canvasback Music/Atlantic recording artists Grouplove have unveiled their fall touring plans. The LA-based quintet are set to support Imagine Dragons on their North American arena tour, set to kick off at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, AZ, on September 28th. The cross-country trek includes stops at the Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl (October 1st) and Brooklyn’s Barclays Center (October 23rd) before its finale at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA, on November 16th (see attached itinerary). The band’s infectious energy has always made them a crowd favorite at music festivals around the world. Last month saw the band return to the main stage at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival with rave reviews from Billboard, USA Today, and Los Angeles Times. A 360/VR video shot during the band’s raucous set can be seen here.

  • Sonic Blooms in Taipei
    TAIPEI TIMES MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 , 2 0 0 8 PAGE 1 3 [ THE WEEKENDER ] Sonic blooms in Taipei BY DAVId CHen AND DIane BAKer STAFF REPORTErs ianist Hiromi Uehara and her three-piece ensemble Sonicbloom performed for a rapt audience last Thurs- P day at the National Concert Hall in Taipei, in an intense, imaginative show that spanned jazz, funk, and classical music. Being in Taipei revived strong memories for the 29-year- old Japanese musician, who said at a press conference the day before the show that her first-ever public performance was in Taipei at the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall (國父紀念館) when she was 12. Uehara started the evening with a short piano solo in 1920s stride-style, which immediately broke into a fusion jazz rendition of Softly as in a Morning Sunrise. Images of the moon and stars were projected onto the curtains behind the band, which set the mood for the aptly-titled Time Travel. In this challenging but engaging tune, Uehara’s spacy synthesizer sounds and Dave Fiuczynski’s electric guitar riffs built oblique melodic themes around shifting rhythms. Uehara often sounds like she’s trying to squeeze as many notes as she can in one phrase, yet her playing still manages to sound lyrical and soulful, as it did in the band’s rendition of the Duke Ellington classic Caravan. Her playing has a light, joyful quality, even at rapid speeds. At times she sounded like she was playing cartoon chase scenes; other times her melody lines were so astonishingly frantic, you could hear people in Musician Juliana Hatfield at home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Aug.
