Choonz entered in an Irish Music Battle of the Bands!
Hi, Choonz have entered an Irish music battle of the Bands competition online Youtube Link
The winners get 5 nights playing at the Monte Carlo Casino in Las Vegas. This would obviously be quite nice. Seriously though, we would really love this opportunity and this would give us the publicity needed to start our career as a touring band.
WE NEED YOUR VOTE!! Please take the time to forward this to some people in your address book. Voting ends in a few days so please don't delay. It only takes a minute to register your vote! Anyway, enough grovelling from us. To vote for us Click Here and select Choonz. Cheers!
L'album de CORDEBREVE est paru. Le duo bordelais Cordebrève a eu l'ingénieuse idée de mettre en musique des poèmes créés à la fin du XIXe siècle.
Paul Verlaine bien sûr, Sully Prudhomme, Jean Richepin, Jean Moréas, Léon Valade, Catulle Mendès, ou Emile Verhaeren qui écrivent comme on n'écrit plus aujourd'hui.
Atmosphères en gris obscur, souvent charmantes, parfois angoissantes, toujours légères. De ces poèmes que le nouveau siècle pourrait juger mièvres, Cordebrève leur apporte des mélodies langoureuses et pop à l'orchestration luxueuse.).
Quelques news de deja vu: notre album "Roulette Russe" sort (enfin!!) officiellement le 09 novembre prochain (mvs records/anticraft)! Il sera dispo dans tous les bacs hexagonaux, sortie numérique etc...
Deux concerts en novembre pour fêter tout ça: le 17 novembre au Batofar à Paris, et le 27 novembre à la Marquise à Lyon (gratuit!!). Tu seras là?
Salut Le nouveau LP est enfin terminé ! Vous pouvez décrouvrir les nouveaux titres sur notre Myspace ou sur www.16pac.com. A bientôt. François de 16pac
erratum : quand il est écrit "vote pour nous" il faut bien sur comprendre "votez pour nous (s'il vous plait...)" car nous ne nous permettrions pas de telles familiarités sous prétexte que nous nous adressons à des "jeunes" et d'ailleurs nous ne nous adressons pas particulièrement à des "jeunes".
Désolé donc pour cette injonction plutôt autoritaire et ce tutoiement cynique et un brin méprisant.
The A*Song Team.
youpi

Pourquoi une soirée de soutien ? En trois ans, le Nord Cotentin a vu réapparaître sur ses terres une dynamique musicale hors norme avec La Terra Trema, mais aussi le réseau La Voix des Oreilles. Pourtant, l'avenir des associations qui portent ces projets reste fragile. C'est pourquoi la LVDO Elektro Chrismas Night est remplacée par cette soirée qui permettra à tous les publics de manifester leur soutien à une vie musicale dynamique en Nord Cotentin ! Vous êtes de plus en plus nombreux à considérer ces projets comme nécessaires pour le territoire et c'est dans vos encouragements que nous puisons sans cesse l'énergie qui nous permet de continuer...
Merci aux groupes et aux bénévoles qui seront présents, merci de votre soutien et ... venez nombreux !!!
SAMEDI 13 DECEMBRE – 19h30 à 3h00 LA BRECHE – CHERBOURG PAF unique : 5 euros Restauration sur place Prévente : Art's Café / Épicentre
