Everyone knows TransMusicales specificity lies in the fact that all programming is usually based on the discovery. If few dare such a bet (schedule unknown is necessarily less profitable than the bands and artists already familiar to the public), the Trans nevertheless knew, for 32 years, emerging as a major festival and truly worship. Indeed, few can boast of having played (and in most cases, discover): Nirvana, Daft Punk, Ben Harper, Massive Attack, Sonic Youth, Beck, Bo Diddley, The Offspring, Portishead , Black Desire, Richard Hell, Public Enemy, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The Prodigy, and more recently Kasabian, Hot Chip, Justice, Klaxons, Calvin Harris, or Metronomy. And then as programmers do not like everyone else, they decided to organize concerts in the season of the year is less conducive to a festival of winter.
At two months of holding the event, it is time to begin to delve into the lineup and in surveying hard to myspace. Here is the first part of the list of artists who have captivated our ears.
Janelle Monae
December 10 / / Exhibition Grounds / / Hall 9 / / 23h
Janelle Monáe is a young woman who knows surround. Evidenced Song Tightrope, "featuring Big Boi , rapper / producer of engineering and half of Outkast incidentally, no less. Revelation of this early summer with his album The ArchAndroid (who deserves the prize for worst cover of the year, but nevermind), Janelle Monáe starts to talk about it, especially in France, and we understand why. Not unlike the English VV Brown by his extravagant hair (which was also present last year to TransMusicales before the buzz), it's a safe bet that it does not take long to hear the songs Cold War , Locked Inside and other Faster after, or perhaps even before the Trans, on French airwaves. And his famous dance steps could overshadow the moonwalk ...
CROCODILE
December 11 / / Exhibition Grounds / / Hall 3 / / 9:30 p.m.
For the little story, before forming Crocodiles, Brandon Welcher and Charles Rowell officiating in ... the Dum Dum Girls . Suffice to say that both boys have done well to take their clicks and clacs because they have testosterone to spare. Halfway between the noise psychedelic Crystal Stilts and surf pop Wavves (and the guitars of Kevin Shields and his band are not far either), the Californian, who just released their second album, combos are one of rock's most interesting West Coast today. Also note that the producer behind their latest album, Sleep Forever , is nothing but a giant of the genre, I have appointed James Ford, aka Mr. Simian Mobile Disco . When we know that any what key James Ford turns to gold, there is not much hesitation to have about the quality and interest of Crocodiles give concert in Rennes.
Gonjasufi
December 11 / / Exhibition Grounds / / Hall 4 / / 2:30
Straight landed the galaxy Warp Gonjasufi is a little alien in the year. This former yoga teacher turned-music is none other than protected Flying Lotus and The Gaslamp Killer (he also TransMusicales on December 11, serendipity). Gonjasufi ("ganja - Sufi") released their first album A Sufi And A Killer early 2010, whose inspiration came from long journeys in the desert, like Captain Beefheart in his time. And we want to believe in his epic desert when we listen to the result. Indescribable is probably the most suitable word to describe the music of the American footprint as much as she hip-hop and even soul, psychedelic rock that, what he should add a touch of electronica, not to mention influence obvious world music. In short, the best way to get an idea is still to see the shaman on stage.
IS TROPICAL
December 10 / / Exhibition Grounds / / Hall 3 / / 0:25
If you've never heard of Tropical Is there a safe bet that things change very soon. These English just signed a first album on the Parisian label Kitsuné, and will be on the poster the tour at the Zenith in Paris Inrocks with LCD Soundsystem, Jamaica and The Bewitched Hands On The Top Of Our Hands. Well, they did not invent the hot water, obviously, but their electronic pop with accents will make more of a dance in hall 3 of glacial fairgrounds.
MIA
December 10 / / Exhibition Grounds / / Hall 9 / / 0:50
there really need to remember who is MIA ? It's a safe bet that no, especially since the runaway success of Millionaire Slumdog and its soundtrack at the same time, with Paper Planes from the Anglo-Sri Lankan gondola, and soon "all I want to do is - bang bang bang bang the corner of everyone's lips. MIA's music is based on three simple things: quality samples ( Straight To Hell Clash for Paper Planes , Ghost Rider Suicide for XXXO ), texts involved politically and socially, and friends producers such as engineering Timbaland, Diplo , Blaqstarr or Switch . Given the caliber of his latest album, not to mention it in concert not to be missed would be a mistake.
The following groups should not miss, soon.
