WHY?

WHY? is an American hip hop and indie rock band. Originally the moniker of Berkeley, California artist Jonathan "Yoni" Wolf, WHY? became a full band before their 2005 release Elephant Eyelash with Doug McDiarmid and Matt Meldon, as well as Yoni's older brother, Josiah Wolf.

When Matt Meldon left, the band became a three-piece, with Yoni as the primary songwriter and an additional keyboardist at live concerts. In 2008, the group added bassist Austin Brown to their lineup, making them a four-piece once again. In their arrangements, WHY? leans more toward folk and indie rock, as opposed to the more hip hop styling of their label-mates. Their lyrics also tend to be very abstract, focusing more on imagery than on any particular story.

Nouveau Casino

Following a discrete opening mid June of 2001, and a handful of magical parties, Nouveau Casino launched itself into the Parisian musical scene.
Nouveau Casino is determined to defend a different perspective of music, one which privileges hybrid expression and cutting edge initiatives. It has positioned itself as a host for concerts, images and unique parties where musical discovery is linked to a resolutely convivial atmosphere.
Entirely isolated from its immediate neighbours by a wall of colossal thickness and endowed with highly professional technical equipment as well as a team that possess know-how in multiple fields, Nouveau Casino is a remarkable concert hall that has the ability to welcome different artistic expressions, namely those from digital arts.
Moreover, when night falls, Nouveau Casino has the rare privilege of transforming itself into a veritable club where live electronic music mixes with the pleasure of the dance floor for groovy and sparkly parties.


Ouvert à la mi-juin 2001, Nouveau Casino a pris son envol dans la comète des lieux musicaux parisiens.
Plus que jamais décidé à défendre une autre vision de la musique qui privilégie les expressions hybrides et les initiatives marginales, le Nouveau Casino s..emmêle avec le plaisir du dancefloor pour des soirées groovy et pétillantes.
Cette salle composée de 2 espaces (salle de concert et mezzanine) est le terrain de jeu idéal pour tout esprit créatif et pratique. Ses parois entièrement composées de tôles triangulaires en acier réfléchissent les projections vidéo et habillent ainsi la salle de vos tonalités préférées . Elle cultive le décalé grâce à ses deux grands lustres façon 19ème qui surplombent la salle, et ses lampes type salle d’opération chirurgicale qui mettent en avant un bar coloré. Ce détournement des matières brutes et industrielles crée une atmosphère sophistiquée et conviviale. Elle peut accueillir jusqu’à 400 personnes.
