Review

Mansfield.Tya brings us very low and gets us very high. Deep emotions overwhelm the band onstage who takes us on an adventure from cool folk to heavy, almost metallic sounds. 2 girls with character give it to us!

Definitely check out the lead singer's other side projects, just as crazy.

Artist

Mansfield.Tya

French duo from Nantes that started in 2002, Mansfield. TYA is composed of Julia Lanoà« (guitar, viocals, piano) and Carla Pallone (violin, piano, harmonium, vocals). Their name comes from a reference to June Mansfield, the wife of Henry Miller and the band's first album is naturally called "June", released in October 2005. The atmosphere that comes out of their music is often quite dark, melancholic, sometimes even raging... reminding us as much of Cat Power than Shannon Wright or even Tom Waits. Too often categorized as "new french" music, Mansfield.TYA definitely has influences that span large & wide, much more than your typical "french music". Whether in English or French, the duo has some powerful & elaborate lyrics, and explore unique melodic territories where other french bands don't usually wander.

Duo nantais formé en 2002, Mansfield. TYA se compose de Julia Lanoà« (guitare, chant, piano) et de Carla Pallone (violon, piano, harmonium, chant). Ayant choisi leur nom de groupe en référence à  June Mansfield, épouse d Henry Miller, elles baptisent logiquement leur premier album " June ". Ce dernier paraît en octobre 2005. Leur univers, mélancolique, souvent très noir et parfois rageur, rappelle tout autant Cat Power que Shannon Wright ou certaines ambiances de Tom Waits. Trop souvent mis dans le grand panier de la " nouvelle chanson française ", Mansfield. TYA est résolument emprunt d influences bien plus larges et plus novatrices que les représentants officiels de ce style. Aussi à  l aise dans la langue de Molière que dans celle de Shakespeare, le duo allie des textes travaillés à  des mélodies faisant appel à  des registres dans lesquels les français ne s aventurent habituellement pas. more>>>

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!
