This Thursday, August 23, the last concert of the Terraces’ Thursday Concerts at Cap3000 with EN VRAC ET D’AILLEURS.
En Vrac et d’ailleurs is the story of a group of friends who play like they toast. They released a debut opus in May 2009 that is simple and authentic… A delightful mix of dance hall, guinguettes, and sounds… from elsewhere. With sharp lyrics, meaningful and sensitive texts, veering between outcry and laughter, undeniable instrumental quality, a very varied palette of musical influences, humor, sincerity, and an infectious energy on stage.
“Their shows are festive and assertive: Popular and realistic songs, gypsy music, muzette, klezmer, ska for songs to laugh, to love, and especially to fight for: ideas, for the love of the people and the street. They have Piaf’s charm, Bregovic’s energy, the humor and zest of Les Négresses Vertes, and a touch of Noir Désir with the air of an alternative group that never confines them to orthodoxy that kills the truth. Like a heart-throb or a kick in the butt! It depends… En Vrac on stage has everyone spellbound with its post-war France, from below or elsewhere. En Vrac is straightforward… Unpackaged, direct, insolent, popular, cheeky, libertarian, generous, festive, turbulent, provocative, moving, funny… Long may it last.” – La Strada
Recognized on the Nice scene and after several tours in France (Nice, Lyon, Courchevel, Paris, Nantes, Angoulême, Lauzerte, Toulouse…) and prestigious opening acts (Les Ogres de Barback, Les Hurlements d’Léo, Debout Sur Le Zinc, Ministère des Affaires Populaires…), En Vrac et D’ailleurs brewed a new demo in 2011 (listenable here), presenting a sketch of their new show. For, big news, the group will release its 2nd opus on October 19, 2012, before hitting the road for a national tour. Stay tuned!!!
