Papier Tigre

5 years after they started from scratch, PAPIER TIGRE have built a name for themselves with two albums Papier Tigre (2007) and The Beginning And End Of Now (2008) and 350 shows in more than 20 countries over 3 continents, with the three-piece appearing at ATP among other festivals around the globe. In September 2010, to support a tour they did together with their friend bands Electric Electric, Marvin and Pneu, a 4 way split 7” was released with a brand new song from each band.
Their music is firmly entrenched in the tradition of inventive, challenging punk but combines elements of experimental pop compositions and aggressive math-rock. The band understands that a song being intelligent and complex need not exclude it from having a raw, danceable energy.
For their new album Recreation (2012), the band teamed up with John Congleton to produce their most significant work yet. Pushing the limits of their unusual line-up (drums, 2 guitars, percussion, vocals), the band has matured into a devastatingly efficient unit, with instruments, ideas and personalities bouncing off each other in an audible culture of creativity. The 10 songs are an impressive account of the band’s ability to balance different atmospheres, underlined by original rhythmic patterns, minimalist melodic lines and distinctive vocal hooks, the whole blossoming under Congelton’s sonic prowess.

Venue

Point Ephémère

The Point Ephémère is truly unique. Facing the Seine river, this former warehouse is one of the coolest place to chill out and hang out with friends drinking cheap beers and listening to the edgiest sounds. More than that, the Point Ephémère is a temporary creative interface, pushing for artistic crossovers and multidisciplinary exchanges. You want to see an urban art exhibit or a vjing show ? The Point Ephémère is THE place. Militant, huge, beautiful, avant-gardist, this venue should become your favorite spot.
