I Am Stramgram

The sole songwriter hiding behind I Am Stramgram, Vincent Jouffroy, is surrounded by many musician friends he brings along his musical odyssey. He has just released his debut album ‘Tentacles’ which is the natural result of more than two years of touring in France and abroad. 'Tentacles' is an impressionist kaleidoscope of 9 songs that tell the story of paradise lost and ancestral joy, escape and lines, fullness and emptiness, everything that goes through Vincent’s head without being able to explain it but still creates a beautiful unity.

Paul Régimbeau (critically acclaimed electronic producer known as Mondkopf) and Agnès Gayraud (La Féline), have for several years shared a discreet taste for freedom. Paul through his various collaboration in the electronic scene and Agnès with her epic yet personal pop songs.

La Féline

La Féline is a progressive pop project (named after Jacques Tourneur’s 1942 movie), led by singer and guitarist Agnès Gayraud. She is also one of the figurehead of the French pop activists’ movement La Souterraine. Singing in French, her byzantine lyrics ring in your head long after hearing them and bring together her singular pop songwriting and Baudelaire, church singing, 80's, pop and deep thoughts. Her last album 'Triomphe' has been acclaimed by French and UK press, showing her as a key songwriter of modern French pop.

Lysistrata

Lysistrata, a band inspired by, and loaded with, the screaming energy of youth. Formed in Saintes in 2013, this is a stellar rock power-trio. Transcendental guitar finesse shines from a back-drop of unstoppable drum/bass impetus blasting between post-rock, noise and math-rock. These boys dive from the solid rock of their virtuosity into a rampant ocean of sonic freedom, screaming and shouting with the exhilaration of free-fall. In 2017 they’ve won the very coveted Inouï prize from Printemps de Bourges festival as well as the Ricard Music Live prize. Their first album 'The Thread' was released in October 2017
