Signed to the French agency Murailles Music for international representation, Marc
Melià is a composer and musician who for the last ten years has been composing,
producing and playing music in several bands including the pan-european trio Lonely
Drifter Karen, with whom he released three albums on Crammed Discs. When
performing he uses a Prophet 08 synthesizer, his voice filtered through a vocoder,
alongside a limited palette of effects. Marc Melià breaks the usual rules of electronic
music: what you see is what you hear.

• ANNA LEONE (Sweden) • singer-songwriter
Wed 16 / 22:40-23:20 / Lutherse Kerk

• DELGRES • creole blues
Wed 16 / 23:45-00:30 / Huize Maas, Main
facebook.com/Delgresband
Drumming that is both metronomic and lithe, a dobro-guitar delivering scalding riffs,
and earthy basslines emerging from a beaten up tuba… this is Delgres, a power-trio
that’s reinventing the blues by injecting it with abrasive trance-rock, recalling the
soul of Tuaregs as much as that of The Black Keys or John Lee Hooker. This fiery,
rebellious music very much speaks to us in the present moment, shaking our bodies
as well as our minds.

musical heritage of New York and Chicago, a soulful spirit and a sharp eye for anti-
authoritarian gestures. His debut album One Trick Pony came out in August 2018 on
his own Neverbeener label.

Rens and Sasha Vovk, an all-girl (power) duo from Belgium ready to take the world
by storm with their nostalgia-infused blend of retro-futuristic R&B: just check out the

• ADAM NAAS • dark romantic soul
Thu 17 / 20:30-21:10 / Groninger Forum
facebook.com/adamnaasmusic
Some voices sweep away everything in their path, sending shivers down your spine,
chilling the blood and inflaming the senses. Such is the case for French singer Adam
Naas, who broke through from Europe to Lebanon and Brazil in 2016 with his self-titled
EP. He has just released The Love Album through Universal. In the meantime Naas
and his band deliver their 'dark romantic soul’ in ever more venues.

• HYPERCULTE (Switzerland) • pop
Thu 17 / 20:30-21:10 / Minerva Art Academy
facebook.com/hyperculte
Behind Hyperculte lie Simone Aubert (Massicot) and Vincent Bertholet (Orchestre Tout
Puissant Marcel Duchamp). She whacks her drums with pinpoint precision while he
tames his double bass, making it thrum in a continuous loop, and together, they hum
repetitive and inspired litanies. The result is a hypnotic ball of fire that is contemplative
and extraordinarily powerful. Hyperculte unites the urgency and audacity of Liquid
Liquid, the experimentations of Arthur Russell, the unabashed turbulence of Neu! and
Can, the delirious pop music of Areski and something ethereal and incantatory from
the depths of the breeding grounds of existence.

facebook.com/lewisofman
Lewis OfMan’s music creates a chilling atmosphere where melancholia meets
elevation and joy, drawing on contemporary styles as much as 70s Italian film
soundtracks. He started out as a drummer before teaching himself piano and guitar

shaping up to be a pioneer.

• L'IMPÉRATRICE • disco pop
Fri 18 / 22:10-22:50 / Machinefabriek
facebook.com/Je.Suis.Imperatrice
L'Impératrice’s debut album arrives in 2018 with all the pomp and circumstance of a
coronation. “Impératrice” is French for “Empress”, but that’s the only thing about them
that requires translation. The Parisians draw from a range of genres, from 70s space
disco to downtempo 90s synth pop, taking in French film composers along the way.
Matahari is a glittering, cinematic summation of six years’ hard work that draws on
some of the finest found sounds and forgotten sonic gems hiding in crates across the
France.

MNNQNS (pronounced Mannequins) from Rouen, France, were brought together by
their shared taste in post-punk and pubs. Taking influence from heavyweights like The
Fall, Television and Sonic Youth, MNNQNS are a compelling force of tightly woven
guitars, enveloping feedback and singer Adrian D'Epinay's deadpan, incantatory
vocals. From Rouen's burgeoning underground music scene the band caught the
attention of UK indie label Fat Cat and are now seen as one the best French live
bands of the moment.

"Life... is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." This
Shakespearian quote (Macbeth) sums up Parisians The Psychotic Monks perfectly.
They have been around since 2012, released their first album Silence Slowly And
Madly Shines in 2017 and need to be seen live if you want to fully grasp uncontrollable
