Wildbirds & Peacedrums

An almost unclassifiable mix of spare, bluesy vocals and powerful drumming -- with some pop and jazz elements mixed in for good measure -- Sweden's Wildbirds & Peacedrums feature singer Mariam Wallentin and drummer Andreas Werliin. The pair met in 2004 at Gothenburg's Academy of Music and Drama but, frustrated at the institute's rigid format, they began making music on their own the following year (and also got married). They released two limited-edition CD-Rs on their own before recording their full-fledged debut album, Heartcore, in 2006; it was released in 2007 by the Swedish label Found You. Leaf reissued the album internationally in spring 2008; that year, the band also toured with Lykke Li and was named that year's Jazz in Sweden artist. Wildbirds & Peacedrums's second album, Snake, arrived in 2008 on the Swedish jazz label Caprice.

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.

Le Point Ephémère est un lieu qui tranche dans le panorama des salles de concerts parisiennes. Cet ancien dock a été réaménagé en une interface temporaire de création artistique, ouverte aux formes d’expression les plus avant-gardistes. Et si vous voulez écouter du pur son en buvant des bières pas chères, c’est carrément l’endroit idéal !
