I live in Meaux. There hasn't been too many music stars coming from here.
I saw Pepone & les Nénesse. Among the local keupon bands (a caricature of punk for fun with lots of beer) they were the most respected. Because their singer had been a roadie for Kortatu. Kortatu, don't say who... I've checked on wikipedia and found out that writer Michel Houellebecq once studied here. He wasn't born in the neighbourhood so his family must have moved. I'm pretty much younger, and my family moved there later. It was a huge shock, coming from a place with friendly faces. He probably started having those horrible thoughts right away, as other kids would do their best to ignore him. He recorded an album under Bertrand Burgalat's guidance (I'm not that guy). Eiffel played on most tracks. Eiffel are a sub-Noir Désir band. There's been a festival in my city since 2005, so maybe some local kids who don't go to rave parties will be inspired and get things going... but I really don't think so. The concept (http://www.muzikelles.fr/pages/accueil/bienvenue.html) was, in 2005, of an all-female singers festival, during 2-3 days. Most of whom would have been French, as our mayor is French and France is the best and foreigners are shit, unless they're wealthy. After a while, they suddenly realized that they'll quickly have to pick the same artists year after year. So they changed a bit. Now male singers are allowed, as long as they have special female guests. Which leads to crappy under-rehearsed duos that flatten already flattened perfomances (this is second-hand knowledge, the festival pissed me off the only time I got there to see someone I liked, as they also have this TV guy who jumps on stage once a gig is over to blabber about this and that, not allowing silence to play any part between sets). People who have played there: Musicians who already had a carreer: Jane Birkin, Maurane (twice), former Stephen Stills wife Véronique Sanson (twice, I don't think she will be invited for a third as last time she sang "I've got to fart, I've to to poop" for a couple of minutes with our brave mayor by her side https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu73qAEsc-s), Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine (beautiful texts, I was surprised to see his name - he's famous for his late 1970s songs about dope and poetic nightmares, which don't suit our lovely mayor's views), Bernard Lavilliers (a leather suit since 1975, earrings, the people, music from outside Europe, as surprising an inclusion)... Suzanne Vega must have been the sole artist not to sing any French to play here... Noobs: Adrienne Pauly (my favourite, but she focused on acting after that and seems to be unemployed), Superbus, who played a Sonic Youth cover during the festival. The wind brought it to my windows. |

I've moved 2 years ago and now live a couple of kilometers from Rennes.
Rennes' most famous artist in France is Etienne Daho, who'll be ending next year's tour here in Rennes. That's pop music, no great voice, a form of melancholy, odd dancing and a reminder of my school days whenever I listen to his early 80s hits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqeJUGzvnq0 Daho played in Olivier Assayas' first movie, Désordre, and Kim played in Assayas's Boarding Gate. Daho's said to have come to music after being moved by Marquis de Sade, the most talked about local band of the time (77-81). They ain't as fun and the singer does have a voice ; could be tagged as cold wave to make it short. They've reformed on a day I was elsewhere, but should be back in may in another town in Brittany. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mqn4-otKiKg A bit apart seemed to have been Dominic Sonic who still plays from time to time. I used to like his first album for the guitar sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuhC3F49ESo Then there's Niagara, who sold lots of records in the late 80s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdwvVMltlTw) and bigger-selling Pascal Obispo, who started as a bass player in a band called Senso, formed by Marquis de Sade co-founder Christian Dargelos. There will be no link to his current music, I'm not attracted to it. Rennes has a big festival in early December, called les Transmusicales. Mostly up and coming bands, you tend not to go there cause you don't know any names. Still well talked about in France. The town has lots of pubs where musicians play (Bar'Hic, Penny Lane... and Mondo Bizarro in the middle of nowhere to greet unknown French bands whatever they play and punk "legends" such as Peter and the Test Tube Babies, or former Ramones replacements), plus small venues such as the Antipode (Thee Oh Sees, Swans played there) and the oddly built Ubu, plus bigger venues called le Liberté and l'Etage. It's a students town. And it seems that my new hometown north of Rennes is Alan Stivell's hometown too. Not my kind of music... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMQbcGNs9kg |

there is every year a couple of weeks in February/March where you do not want to step out of your house because of the Carnaval.
