Review

Anthony Joseph and the Spasm Band is a must see. The musicians juggle incredibly between brassy funk, caribbean sweaty beats and a jazz that Alice Coltrane and her Monastic Trio would have looked up to. Anthony Joseph and the Spasm band is one of the best bands you can listen to today. Simply put.

Promoter

Radio Nova "Nuits Zébrées"

Always INSANE ! French reference Radio Nova (101.5FM in Paris) kicked it in 2010 at the Bellevilloise. 3 stories of non-stop partying from 8pm when the concerts start downstairs to way late in the venue's cool labyrinth of rooms, used to the max by the Nova staff!
