This year's program starts with a fantastic opening night with two amazing headliners. The best Belgian pop band of the moment, Marble Sounds, with his leader Pieter Van Dessel, will introduce their new LP, Memory Core, to the French audience. Those talented cousins of Belle and Sebastian and the Go-Betweens, will play in a trio formula.
Then, we will have, more than fifteen years after their last Parisian appearance, London's cult favorites The Woodentops. Labelmates of The Smiths on Rough Trade, John Peel favorites, Rolo McGinty’s band is as rare as it is precious. Their back catalog (4 LPS in… 40 years or so) is as remarkable and fresh as their last LP, Fruits of The Deep (2024), was inventive. You can dance, love, crave or cry on their wonderful songs from Good Thing to Dream On. And they are coming to us with a full band and good intentions.
On retient toujours des Woodentops que Morrissey a fait l’éloge de leur premier single, Plenty, en 1984, en le choisissant comme single de la semaine pour le Melody Maker, avant de les emmener en tournée avec The Smiths. Mais 40 ans plus tard, le groupe de Rolo Mc Ginty qui faisait aussi la couv des Inrocks… en 1988 fait toujours des merveilles. Preuve en est leur dernier disque en date, Fruits of The Deep, sorti en 2024 et qui est largement à la hauteur des cinq précédents. Parmi eux, Giant (1986) figure régulièrement dans les classements qui recensent les meilleurs albums pop de toute l’histoire du royaume et on se transmet en héritage le disque (rare) qui compile leurs Peel Sessions et autres sessions BBC. Par-delà l’aspect patrimonial, The Woodentops est l’incarnation de ce que la pop anglaise a de meilleur : mélodique, vive, intelligente et incroyablement libre. Le groupe de Rolo Mc Ginty n’en a toujours fait qu’à sa tête et continue de mêler à toute vitesse guitares, synthés et… à peu près tous les instruments qui lui tombent sous la main. Le groupe ne s’est pas produit en France depuis…2008 et devrait à nouveau faire résonner ses tubes Good Thing, Get It On, Love Train et Travelling Man, pour le plus grand bonheur des anciens et des modernes. Concert Evénement à n’en pas douter.
