LAZULI

The middle of Rock is not conducive to the export of the language of Molière, as we know, but Lazuli erases the borders. In a few years, the group has become the ambassador of France on the biggest international stages of Progressive Rock. His notes and words have become universal language. Heir to Peter Gabriel and other Pink Floyd, the Gardois group is distinguished by its singularity, its unusual instrumentation and the invention of a unique instrument: La Léode. Somewhere between rock, song, electro and world, the atypical music of Lazuli, dreamlike, explorer, takes us off the beaten track. Lazuli envisions his songs as canvases, mixing colors, depicting his world or repainting it. Somewhere between Jacques Prévert and Tim Burton, words question the evils of the present time. The airy, funambulistic voice, all in puns, sings to us of man in all his forms and his “deforms”. Alternately we hover or we are caught in the turmoil, time is suspended or accelerates...

GANAFOUL

Le groupe est formé en 19741 à Givors, près de Lyon, dans le Rhône. À l’origine composé de cinq membres, il devient par la suite un trio avec Jean-Yves Astier (basse et vocaux), Jack Bon (guitares et vocaux), Yves Rothacher (percussions)2 lors de la sortie de leur premier album Saturday Night3 qui leur permet d'atteindre un succès national4.

Les heures de gloire du groupe se situent entre 1978 et 19835. Yves Rotacher quitte le groupe à la suite de désaccords et est remplacé par Bernard Antoine à l’été 1978. Avec ce line-up, un nouvel album sort fin 1978, Full Speed Ahead, auquel participent Fabienne (de Shakin' Street) et Little Bob (de Little Bob Story). Puis ils assurent la première partie du concert d’AC/DC à Aix-les-Bains, en août 1979. En 1981, sort leur seul album en français, T’as bien failli crever, qui reflète alors l’état d’esprit de Jack Bon, seul membre rescapé du groupe qui continue néanmoins avec deux nouveaux membres : Franck Argento et Hervé Corsos. Ganafoul disparaît peu après.

Le groupe se reforme sporadiquement par la suite. Il revient en avril 1998 lors de deux concerts au Transbordeur de Lyon qui donnera naissance à l’album Crossroads, sorti la même année6. En 2020 sort un album inédit Sider-Rock (nom qu'ils donnaient à leur musique à leurs débuts). Cet album issu de vieilles bandes a été enregistré en 19757. Le groupe se reforme à nouveau en 2023 et démarre une série de concerts5. Concerts qui se poursuivent en 2024 et un nouvel album de créations va être enregistré en septembre, à sortir en 2025.

GRIM CIRCLE

Grim Circle is a group founded around a concept imagined in 2019 by Nicolas Le Breton, science fiction writer: “Twelve immortals cross the ages as guardians of Civilizations. The hour of the meeting has come for them, as it comes to an end”.
Made up of 6 musicians and interpreted in French, the group is tinged with Rock pop music with very marked atmospheres, linked to the Concept (rock, industrial, Celtic, oriental, according to the theme told).
A 3-track EP is in preparation for early 2023.

GOODBYE METEOR

Goodbye Meteor is proof that post-rock made in France still has a very bright future ahead of it. Mastering the codes of the genre to perfection, the band from Picardy delivers an immersive post-rock, painting atmospheres as immediately enveloping as they are striking. Its marvelously neat melodies, carried by guitar notes that are both ethereal and chiseled, soar delicately but no less resolutely towards the heavens, thanks to the rhythms of an elegant drum set that knows how to be as discreet as it is intense, and of a few layers of airy and inhabited voices. Claiming its attachment to nature, Goodbye Meteor is driven by the desire to find a way out to counter the devastating decline in the relationship between human beings and their environment. From its celestial and powerful flights, his music never ceases to push us to let ourselves be transported, beyond a disturbing present moment, to an elsewhere made up of liberating and sparkling hopes. (Totoromoon)

FEAT THE SUN

L'univers électrisant de Feat The Sun éblouit les scènes grenobloises avec sa musique haute en énergie transformant chaque performance en un spectacle explosif qui emporte le public avec eux.
Suite à la sortie de leur première album, Feat The Sun définit sa couleur en fusionnant des éléments pop accrocheurs avec la puissance brute des sons rock des années 2000 qui les ont influencés.
Les cinq membres du groupe ont incarné leur vocation avec une énergie contagieuse. Les performances live de Feat The Sun ne sont pas simplement des concerts, mais des expériences immersives où énergie et émotion s'unissent pour créer un moment inoubliable.
Sur les routes de leur second album, le groupe aspire à explorer de nouvelles frontières artistiques et est déterminé à toucher encore plus de cœurs à travers leur musique.

PANEM

Born at the end of 2018, PANEM is a rock band from Tours & Nantes made up of 2 girls,
Marie Moreau (vocals), Emeline Fougeray (bass), and 2 boys Mogan Cornebert (drums) and
Yacine Aït Amer (guitar, voice). Their very varied musical horizons and their solid
experiences as sidemen give birth to an unclassifiable and protean rock.

XCIII

XCIII (To a passerby…) is an Avantgarde Rock / Metal project located in France. His goal is to combine different styles ranging from Black Metal to Trip Hop without limit, but with the desire to keep a musical and lyrical coherence between all the pieces. A kind of “Total Art”, where music, words and images respond to each other. The old idea of playing folk black metal disappeared when Guillaume composed new songs, more open to new horizons, including experimental and progressive elements. The result is a dark experience around the same idea. Destroyed in the musical conception, the theme remains a whole.

STRANGE LAB

On the initiative of guitarist and composer Olivier GADET, this group of professional and experienced musicians, long-time friends was born in 2020 during confinement. Two demo songs were recorded remotely and on video. In front of a motivating success of esteem, they decided to continue the adventure.The first album of the group STRANGE LAB will make you discover 10 original compositions, highlighting the influence of great masters of the guitar.Oriented jazz, blues and rock with some songs sung in English, the challenge of this album is to bring together these different atmospheres to bring out, with great humility, the own style of the four musicians. Crowdfunding to help with the production of the album has been set up on the Ulule site and the objective has been achieved. Released June 2022, it is distributed digitally (Itunes platforms, Spotify, Deezer ... and physically (MUSEA label). A first concert took place on June 3 in Naucelles (15) with great success.

BIG FAT PAPA'Z

Big Fat Papa'z was created between 2009 and 2010 with two springboards won (Massilia Rock and Sounds of Marseille)
and the recording of a first EP of six titles. The group that quickly skims the stages of the PACA region
tried out a different line-up, it was finally in 2013 that things stabilized with Damien Ricard, founder of the
band (guitar/vocals), Quentin Crénès (bass) and the arrival of Hugo Modena on drums.
In 2014 this new power trio recorded their first album of the group entitled 'The Hard Way' at the Hyperion studio.
(Marseille) and Cox In Hell (Frejus), produced by Anthony Belguise. There will follow more than a hundred dates all over France with in particular the first parts of internationally renowned artists (Eric Sardinas, King King, Jim Jones, Donald Kinsey...) as well as other victories on regional springboards (Courte Échelle 2015, Rock Trip 2015, Bagnol Blues Festival 2016) but also a series of concerts in Germany and Scotland. In 2017, the trio composed a new album and decided to recruit Nils Kirchner as solo guitarist (ex-Oil Carter) to expand the line-up. In April 2017 the group made a remarkable first part of Seasick Steve in Marseille then recorded the new album "Soul On Fire" which was released on November 17, 2017.
In 2018, the group returned to its initial formula following the departure of Hugo Modena, Damien resuming his position as
original singer/drummer. But in 2020, after two years and many dates in the company of Nils, the group decides to reintegrate Hugo and find its historic formation in power trio with Damien as frontman.
guitar/vocals. Between 2021 and 2022, Big Fat Papa'z performs numerous concerts in France and opens for the famous American rock'n'roll group Nashville Pussy as well as The Lords Of Altamont in Marseille.
In October 2022, the trio returns to the studio to prepare their 4th opus "Fat Power" to be released in March/April 2023.
BIG FAT PAPA'Z draws its inspiration from rock, soul and blues from the 60s and 70s. BIG FAT PAPA'Z is above all a very typical voice, with a unique energy and power associated with a revisited style of blues, with testosterone sauce, which they qualify as Heavy or Hard Blues. But also concerts with strong pulsations,
crazy, interspersed with beautiful walks and white-hot solos.

BIPOLAR CLUB

Both rough and soft, Bipolar Club is the new rock band that will take you on a powerful sound journey.
The band's songs reflect their thoughts. Full of hope but also of anguish, they reflect the
paradox of a changing world, torn between a desire for constant progress, too fast, and the nostalgia of a simpler, more human era, which seems to be over. Bipolar Club is the reflection of this generation: forward-looking but
full of melancholy towards the past.
Bipolar Club is the dichotomy, the opposition but also the door open to two energies: more enraged or more
melancholy; to two universes: one dark, the other luminous; but also two languages: French and English. It is
the very essence of the group: leaving room for choice. The most important being the final aesthetics and the search for
depth.
This new project is taking shape in the midst of a crisis, with the hope, for the four musicians, of reconnecting with the public and the stage despite a moribund societal atmosphere. The music of Bipolar Club is therefore resolutely rock and offers an abrasive sound, cut for the stage.

KANABAE

Kanabæ was the name of the peninsula of Lyon (Lugdunum in the Gallo-
Roman) between the Saône and the Rhône, where the Croix Rousse still culminates.
In its slopes, neighborhood
a must for musical bars and Lyon's nightlife and 2000 years later, four boys will
meet and mingle their talents and their instruments.
Kanabæ today is the revival of Lyon rock, worthy heirs of Starshooter, Electric Callas and the groups that made the capital of Gaul and rock in France famous in the 80s.
Kanabæ is the architecture of a powerful rock, inspired, colorful and in French in the text. Of the
songs that speak of and to their generation.
Kanabæ is the casual, wild and sensual energy of Live.
In 2023, the group recognizes a
ten concerts throughout the
France and released its first album, composed, recorded mixed by its creators. "Bass Drum", from the title
eponymous, takes you on a journey through the minds of these four musicians who fell in love with their city of Lyon.

RAVENS CREW

Ravens Crew is above all a group of friends who share the same common passion: music,
rock'n roll!
Created in 2015, the group began by criss-crossing the bars of the Picardy capital and its surroundings. Her
register: covers from the biggest standards of the international rock scene. The desire to compose
to go further with much more personal projects is then felt...
It is at the end of 2019 that the compos adventure begins. The musical universe is very rock and the texts in French.
Anyway, we're called Ravens Crew and we do Rock'n Roll!

BREAKING BEATS CLAN

Breaking Beats Clan (abbreviated as BBclan) was born in 2015 following the discontinuation of the Peter McNamee Band. We
have since performed more than a hundred concerts throughout France and released a first CD in 2017. The
group has just released its 3rd opus in 2022. The sounds of the BBclan are based on traditional music
Scottish and Irish by adding resolutely Rock n'Roll sounds. We do not hesitate to move away from
codes of traditional music by mixing all kinds of influences. We also proceed in the direction
reverse by taking up classics of Country or Rock music and injecting them with Celtic sounds
great reinforcement of bagpipes or mandolin Our influences come from Rock, Blues, Country, Reggae
and of course traditional Celtic music. Our orchestration is rich by integrating a rhythmic base
classic Rock n'Roll (drums, bass, electric guitar) and adding more traditional instruments:
bagpipes, bouzouki, flutes, mandolin. BBClan members produce an energetic, varied,
friendly by soliciting and provoking the participation of the public. The continued increase in the number of concerts and
of organizers who trust our training again and again demonstrates that the group has been able to establish a special bond
and sincere with his audience... probably the key to our success.

ABBYGAIL

Après un ‘Electric Lady’ fort prometteur, paru en 2017, et un ‘Gun Control’ très convaincant (2019), les
Nordistes d’Abbygail nous reviennent plus motivés que jamais avec ce 3ème album très attendu,
’’Still Burning ...’ (2021). Et le moins que l’on puisse dire, c’est que les gaillards sont en forme. Dès
les premières mesures de “Watchman Of Darkness”, les Abbymen vous sautent à la gorge et ne
relâcheront la pression que 12 titres plus tard.

The Hyb-D Project

The Hyb-D Project se différencie par sa configuration atypique et un son bien à lui.
Des ambiances planantes façon Pink Floyd jusqu'au gros riffs metal acérés.

derwich

A la croisée des styles et des époques, l'univers de Derwich est une habile alchimie Rock, Electro et Pop, s'y liant parfois des sonorités urbaines.
Une science de l’atmosphère et de la mélodie où y flirtent à la fois légèreté et grandiloquence, finesse et désinvolture, efficacité et doute. Un voyage pop au sens noble du terme duquel on ne se lasse jamais d’être le passager, quelque soit le moment, la langue ou le lieu.
En 2023, Derwich s'est donné comme défi de sortir un titre par mois sur les Plateformes de Streaming, dévoilant ainsi peu à peu un projet plus global

Clinic_Rodeo

Le duo parisien (Ad aux cordes, Joy Harvey aux fûts) distille une vision d’une Americana d’autant plus
authentique que fantasmée. Elle innerve les deux énervés. Mais le rock garage et ses raffinements
primitifs (Vulture Mine, Beverly Hells et Hunters) prend des atours brumeux avec leur quatrième
album, « Les Nuits », sorti après un détour par la bande originale avec le documentaire « Radio
Congo » et la série d’Arnaud Malherbe « Moloch ». En live, de leur énergie organique transpire tour à
tour une ambiance mystique, exaltée et ardente. A boire et à consommer chaud, très chaud !

Knock Me Out

Knock Me Out est un groupe de power rock français actif depuis 2014. Après une pause de 3 ans, le groupe se reforme en 2023, avec les 3 membres et amis qui ont le plus marqué Knock Me Out depuis sa création.
Tantôt lunaire, tantôt solaire, le style se situe aujourd’hui quelque part entre pop punk, metal et électro rock, baignant dans une atmosphère tribale futuriste. Il s'agit bel et bien d'un nouveau départ pour le projet.

Prominence

Prominence est un groupe français de pop rock alternatif formé en 2021 à Annecy par des amis musiciens et
mélomanes.
Prominence a choisi d'interpréter toutes ses chansons en anglais avec des influences du début des années 2000
tout en y ajoutant leur touche de modernité.......................................................................................................................
Le premier single "Sail The Seas", sorti récemment et qui a atteint près de 100 000 vues en quelques mois, leur a
valu un grand succès. Ils ont alors signé avec le label américain "Curtain Call Records", distribué par The
Orchard/Sony.
Ils ont ensuite enregistré leur premier EP du même nom "Sail The Seas" sous la supervision de Rob Carson, connu
pour son travail avec Nick Didia du légendaire Studio 301 et sa collaboration avec Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen et
Rage Against The Machine. ................................................................................................................................................
Des rythmes accrocheurs mêlant synthé, piano, violon et la voix douce et nostalgique de Quentin font de
Prominence un quintet innovant aux mélodies puissantes qui a déjà trouvé son public.

Edenya

Fondé en 2010 sous la forme d’un projet instrumental par Marco, auteur-compositeur et guitariste- claviériste, Edenya n'a eu de cesse d'évoluer au fil du temps.
Après un E.P (2017) et un premier album « Silence » (2020) salué par la critique un peu partout dans le monde (France, Angleterre, Québec, Belgique, Pays-Bas, USA…), Edenya vient de sortir son ambitieux second album « Another place » disponible depuis le 13 janvier 2023.
Edenya se nourrit de très nombreux styles musicaux : du rock au folk en passant par le progressif ou
l’ambient. La voix douce et puissante de Clélia s'allient à merveille aux mélodies tantôt délicates et
tantôt énergiques de Marco, plongeant ainsi l'auditeur dans des ambiances et des émotions intenses.
