current music festival by the lake
The festival is preparing its tenth edition of indie-pop-folk-noise and post-punk music, with Maxwell Farrington & Le SuperHomard, Black Sea Dahu and Emilie Zoé from February 9 to 19 in Annecy.
Current music scene (SMAC), the Brise-Glace is back for an event that leaves no one unmoved: the Hors-Pistes festival. About twenty artists are expected for daytime and evening concerts in a chapel, bistro, club, hall and media library.
On the bill: Alex Van Pelt, Bagarre, Balladur, Bantam Lyons, Ben Lupus, Black Sea Dahu, Bryan’s magic tears, Emilie Zoé, Gargäntua, Hoboken Division, Isla Oiseau, Jimmy Q, Joris Delacroix, Just Mustard, Kids Return, Lucie Antunes, Maxwell Farrington & Le SuperHomard, Oscar les vacances, Peter Kernel, Structures and Venom Carmin.
On Saturday February 12, the Brise-Glace welcomes the Swiss group Peter Kernel, soft punks with overflowing creativity, all in power and rhythm games, composed of Barbara Lehnhoff (Camilla Sparksss, solo project of the singer), multi- instrumentalist Aris Bassetti and two drummers, Vitti Bastianelli and Ema Matis, they celebrate their fifteenth anniversary.
Also to be discovered on Saturday 12, the Swiss Émilie Zoé, elected best artist from French-speaking Switzerland at the Swiss Music Awards. Singer and musician, she has a rough guitar playing and a voice that is sometimes fragile, sometimes raw. She’s a real songwriter.
Third group of the evening, Hoboken Division will distill their DIY psyche-blues straight from the East, where the darkness of time and the post-apocalyptic atmosphere of abandoned factories have generated a bubbling musical scene.
Thursday, February 17, it is at the chapel of the Forges that we will remain blissful in front of the Zurich group Black Sea Dahu, a dark folk with touching sincerity, before returning to the crooner Maxwell Farrington & Le SuperHomard for an elegant psychedelic pop with subtle arrangements .
On Friday the 18th, we’ll return to these mystical places and remain contemplative as we listen to one of Ireland’s hottest bands, Just Mustard, a clever mix of indie-pop and noisy gimmicks.
Hors-Pistes, a festival where it will be good to venture, Icebreaker and in different places in Annecy, from February 9 to 19, 2022. Refreshing.
