Europavox Festival is about to get started, musicians fans and French people are heading to the musical creation that is going on in Clermont-Ferrand.
Music Towers is looking forward to it and hoping that Frances weather gods now better then England’s miserly effort over the last week. Looking forward to breaking this indie-centric scene and seeing what the rest of Europe is up to. And it seems quite Hip-Hop shaped.
Looking forward to seeing the Hip-Hop Berlin puppets the Puppetmastaz, playing live on the 31st at La Coope. Something so wrong about a cheapo Jim Henson letting his puppets express their sexual frustrating in public has to be right. The sooner someone realises that they are worth bringing back to the UK the better. Also performing that night on the 31st are Frances Saïan Supa Crew who are the biggest Hip-Hop band in Europe if you have been too busy wiggling looking at 50 cent bling for the last few years. Now in defence of their third album they have a storming live show.
Check out the full list I have hardly heard of any of them, so there is a lot of reviewing to be done:
