The Wants • Queen Philip / Supersonic (Free entrance)

→ THE WANTS
(Indie – Council Records – Brooklyn, USA)

With the minimal instrumentation of post-punk as their framework, The Wants inject the hypnotic pulse of Detroit techno into the practice of pop songwriting. Led by Madison Velding-VanDam’s elusive duality of personas which oscillate between earnestly romantic and unsettlingly deadpan, The Wants naturally forge a dark alley off the beaten path into danceable dissonance. Velding-VanDam’s vulnerable lyrics sometimes foray into the sardonically biting, reflecting the complex cycle of self-reflection of the current generation, while drawing from sources like the satire-of-power in Jenny Holzer’s “Inflammatory Essays”, and the midwestern heart of The National’s frontman Matt Berninger. Anthony “Shake” Shakir’s “Frictionalism (1994-2009)” and John Beltran’s “Ten Days of Blue” drew The Wants into the lush soundscapes and entrancing mood of electronic music.

The Wants’ origins are in the musical and production partnership between drummer Jason Gates and Velding-VanDam who met in 2014 in Bushwick, Brooklyn DIY scene. They bonded over their appreciation for producer Peter Katis (The National, Interpol) and multi-talented producer/artist Angus Andrew (Liars).

→ QUEEN PHILIP
(Indie Rock – Maffliers, FR)

« Queen Philip, c’est trois amis de lycée qui, quelques années plus tard, se retrouvent entre Paris et banlieue et décident de monter un groupe de rock.
A Chèvrefeuille, village imaginaire du Val d’Oise, les répétitions s’enchaînent pour Tot’ (guitare/chant), Oldie (clavier/chant) et Roger (basse) qui, accompagnés de Lilie à la batterie, composent une musique aux influences variées. Tantôt garage et power pop, parfois plus expérimentales et progressives mais toujours résolument rock, leurs chansons peuvent évoquer, entre autres, les Dandy Warhols, Artic Monkeys ou encore Arcade Fire.
Après de nombreux concerts en Ile de France, le groupe sort un album, “Queen Philip”, ainsi qu’un clip à l’été 2019, “Kill Myself”, premier extrait de celui-ci. « 

Les 3 influences: Arcade Fire, Artic Monkeys, Dandy Warhols
