Two scenes, two days, two moods: the [PIAS] Nites play it both ways and plan to change the entire atmosphere from a night to another.

With a complete transformation of the concert’s spaces, [PIAS] Nites promise to be intimate and cozy the first night, up to the talents and revelations of the future who will share this historic anniversary with us.

Friday, the atmosphere will get electric! The evening augurs a monumental party (we don’t get 30 years old every day!) thanks to the exclusive presence of M83, and more particularly with the one of 2manydjs who will perform their unique “Under Covers” show!

The Hickey Underworld

The launch of their own line of perfume, contraction of freaky ear diseases, an adult website and some extensive plastic surgery, The Hickey Underworld has been very busy since their debut album came out almost 3 years ago. It even looked like there was not going to be another album, but guess what? There is! Crazy! Awesome! Wack!

It’s called ‘I’m Under The House, I’m Dying’. Produced by Das Pop, mixed by Dave Sardy. It’s got flutes on it and shit.

Little Trouble Kids

Barely a year and a half after their fierce debut and having gained tons of experience live, crazy noise-pop duo Little Trouble Kids now delivers a new album: ‘Adventureland’.

The live-energy is just as intense, the line-up is unchanged – one guitar, one stomp box and two harmonious voices – but the sound and songs are grander, harder and better!
