TRANSMUSICALES 2010: SELECTION STAGE INVASION (PART 2)

promised it comes: every two weeks to hold the festival TransMusicales (9, 10 & 11 December this year), proposes to Stage Invasion take stock of five groups not to be missed. New kids for the most essential figures of their kind for some, this is the quintet chosen by us for this second selection.





WU LYF
December 11 / / City / / 7:50 p.m.

Behind Wu Lyf (or rather World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation, name a bit barbaric and scary at first limit), four young guys are hiding from Manchester, and the least we can say is that since last January, they have been surrounded with mystery. Golden rule: no official photos, no interviews either (Liberation seems he sweated blood and water to get this ), a myspace enough without interest, no formal implementation until then, or even single or EP, only a few songs available for free by the Red Devils themselves here. In short, the question mark total. Revolutionary, mystical, spiritual, are the three words that come to describe the band and its music, a fortiori.
Two more reasons to be dying to see this band on stage: they love is nicknamed themselves the Tu-Wang Gang (irresistible), and one of their songs titled All The Silly Cats Keep Talking, Spitting Flowers Spitting Blood - (if you are not Anglophiles, use google t).











EGYPTIAN HIP HOP
Dec. 9 / / Exhibition Grounds / / Hall 3 / / 10:35 p.m.

The most natural, when one reads the name of Egyptian Hip Hop, it is tempting to imagine that the group made in the report, therefore, with some Eastern sounds that would justify the borrowing country name of Cleopatra. And as all this would obviously be an answer too well established to question "how did you choose the name of your band?" , it is not. Egyptian Hip Hop is a few keyboard notes very 1980s, a bass line to dance François Fillon's announcement of 3.5 million protesters against his reform, and unfortunately it is also a voice guy I like to call "bitch", that is to say horribly cloying, so terribly annoying, with similarities to Luke Pritchard's cut with a knife. But if one sets aside the last point is pretty good.











RENAISSANCE MAN
December 11 / / Exhibition Grounds / / Hall 9 / / 4:15

far, the selection Stage Invasion lacked its north. Whatever best to remedy the duo Renaissance Man? Appeared on the Electro scene in late 2009, the Finns have since ceased to about them, and rather well. Everyone pulls them: Made To Play (Jesse Rose's label) Sound Pellegrino (the digital label founded by Teki Latex) or Kitsuné. It was therefore quite natural that they end up in the great hall TransMusicales for the closing night, which gives pride to electronica.











SALEM
December 10 / / Exhibition Grounds / / Hall 4 / / 11:40 p.m.

Salem (nothing to do with the Israeli metal band of the same name) is a group very difficult to put into a genre. Real witches, three Americans have managed to create a style midway between electronica and shoegaze (yes, it is now possible), with a voice sometimes rap, sometimes metal. I feel you're lost, it's normal. The result is relatively novel, sometimes a little confusing. But it still promises a concert not quite mystical and mythical why, in Hall 4 Expo Park.











A-TRAK
December 11 / / Exhibition Grounds / / Hall 9 / / 1:45

For several years now that the friend A-Trak, Alain Macklovitch his real name, we danced in the evening, thanks to his remix of enough foufou Heads Will Roll the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Hustler Simian Mobile Disco, Sébastien Tellier Kilometer, or Get Em High Kanye West to name a few.
But A-Trak is also behind the combo Duck Sauce (made with his friend Armand Van Helden), and we can see that in addition to causing the death of our feet at the end of each contact with a dance floor, our Quebecois of humor:




Yeah, we would almost forget the Olympic side of the story: A-Trak has been world champion DMC (Disco Mix Club) to only 15 in 1997. World Record!
