Artist

BEAST

A prominent journalist who shall go unnamed * wrote: Beast sounds like what you might hear at the last cabaret on the road to hell. And you wonder, is the kitchen there opened late? Probably for an eternity. And if there was a juke box in this supposed cabaret on the outskirts of the Devil s hang, would our music be in it? And if our music was in it, would it be classified under alternative, electro, hip hop, trip-rock or just go to hell music ? It s hard to tell you what we do. ...when we first started doing it we had no idea either. Count it in, see what happens. Slightly amused, massively inspired and very curious, we kept searching and then locked and loaded this CD. What s the backstory? Well, we live in Montreal. Betty Bonifassi sang on the Oscar nominated soundtrack, Triplettes of Bellville . sang at the Oscars actually. Betty also sang on the hit DJ Champion album Chill em all which she toured to sell outs everywhere. Jean-Phi Goncalves has written, produced and played drums for Araine Moffat, Pierre Lapointe, Jean Pierre Ferland, Lauryn Hill and many others. He is a founding member of Montreal s Plaster. The Beast CD dropped Nov. 18 in Canada, March 3 in the States. Before the metaphysical release of the album, the first single, Mr. Hurricane was picked up by iTunes in an unprecedented simultaneous international release .more than 375,000 people downloaded it in North America alone. Thank you, thank you, and thank you too. Since then we have been reading some very kind words: One of the most strikingly original and swaggeringly bad-ass Canadian albums to rear its head in recent memory. Ben Rayner Toronto Sta Beast s'apprête à faire des vagues dans la mer pop à l'aube de la parution de son premier album. Enfin, la bête est lâchée!

Venue

Rock en Seine

Rock en Seine is a rock festival that takes place in the Saint-Cloud national parc, near Paris, in the heart of historic gardens designed by Le Nôtre. This festival is known for its rich programming but also for its last-minute cancellations! (especially those of Amy Winehouse and Oasis who split for good in the festival's backstage)

Great way to get back from summer into hard-working September.
