La Route du Rock, 26th summer collection!Just Focus will cover the event.More than a quarter of a century since Le fort de Saint-Père, near St Malo, is the scene of a festival that has become over the years the unmissable rendezvous for demanding music lovers. This year again, the programming promises a quality vintage, judge instead: from August 12 to 14, La Femme, Belle and Sebastian, Savages, Tindersticks, The Avalanches will be among the "call groups", with a very high qualitative reputation. The dozens of other groups also bode very well. Quick pick (not exhaustive) of groups by "atmosphere" and contest.
Selection of 3 "edgy"
It's well known, festivals are still made to let off steam. The friends who come to delirious with you and the drinks (alcoholic or not) "cashless" that seem unlimited have significant euphoric virtues. To best accompany all this in the liveliest place in France for such a weekend (the bridge of August 15), nothing like listening to the New Yorkers The Battles (scene of the Fort on August 13), this crazy potion of math-rock at 200 per hour and that will not leave you respite. Less cerebral and more punk? Run to the ramparts stage to listen to Fidlar, from California, (August 14), because the return of nu-metal next door is gnognote. A more digital, more spatial release? It is on the side of The Field (August 13, scene of the ramparts) that you will have to turn, its hypnotic techno-ambient will awaken in you this whirlwind of night of madness.
Selection of 3 "lovers"
Festivals to flirt? It's time, gentlemen (or ladies) to go ahead and impress your coveted by taking him to listen to the romantic Tindersticks (Fort scene on August 13th).Crooner's voices, strings all in embraces, fiery lyrics dominate most of the songs of this British band, when it is not the recent more complex and cinematic songs (to try to seduce him culturally this time). Or take him by the hand and run together, hair in the wind, to the stage of the Fort to listen to Kevin Morby on August 12: his fiery folk to make Bob Dylan pale will capsize more than one. In a more urban register, we will be able to curl up to the warm sound of Haelos' soulful trip-hop on August 12 at the Remparts stage.
Selection of 3 "gliders"
Hover thanks to music, the Route du Rock is there for that, to escape from this world of bullies, and to fly in sound reverie. We can rave about listening to the American veterans of the Lush shoegazing (Sunday, August 14 at the Fort stage), who will only look at their shoes and guitar pedals, to provide you with maximum effects. Or Suuns de Montréal (August 13 at the Fort stage), who with their krautrock completely illuminated, will not hesitate to add to their mixture salvos of creepy trip-hop à la Tricky or The Knife. Because the descent always hurts. We will then continue with a more classic trip and devastating month, to get drunk on the sound of the Germans Ulrika Spacek, (August 13 at the scene of the ramparts) who manage to impose catchy songs with dissonant chords and the repetitive and ethereal rhythm of krautrock.
Eh, not so fast! We have compilations to make you win…
In short, many other bands to discover, talents and music often on the fringes of the major pop-rock circuits. The great strength of the Route du Rock is this flawless curiosity that leads to bring to Brittany small groups that sometimes make their first date in France, and this reputation that also bring older groups to the fame now acquired. We leave this festival rarely disappointed!
