* Deap Vally, Grimes, UME, Family of the Year and Hyphen Hyphen at Rock En Seine 2012 *

It is becoming some kind of yearly tradition for Gimme A Beat to visit and review Rock En Seine festival. What is the reason that every year I keep on going back to this festival? I guess it is a perfect balance of phenomenal line-up, location very close to Paris town and lots of cool, stylish visitors that are not only taking care of the style and what to wear, but really know how to enjoy the music and give it all when the artist they love is on the stage in front of them. Since 2003, Rock En Seine festival is happening every year at the end of the summer, last weekend of August, at Domaine National de Saint-Cloud, at Château de Saint-Cloud's park just outside Paris, inside the garden designed by Le Nôtre in 17th century.  In the beginning this festival was happening only during one day and had 2 stages and 10 bands. Nowadays, over the 3days this festival features many local and international bands that play on one of the 4 stages: Grande Scene, Scene De La Cascade, Scene De L'Industrie and Scene Pression Live. This year, Rock En Seine celebrated 10th Anniversary and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac created very cool T Shirts for the occasion (I got one of course). As it usually happens every year, and whenever I attend the festivals, I’ve seen loads of good bands and artists and even discovered few new ones.  However, since Gimme A Beat is all about female artists, all-female bands and bands with females as a leading vocalist, I will of course focus my review on them. Tonight, I will focus on the following artists: Deap Vally, sexy, powerful all-female rock duo from LA; Grimes, aka Claire Boucher, young, talented Canadian experimental pop artist; UME, mind blowing rock trio from Austin; Family of The Year, charming indie/folk rock quartet from LA and Hyphen Hyphen, electro rock french band based in Nice. My review of the Rock En Seine festival will include impressions of their performances as well as whole-festival experience, while playing the interviews with these artists and chosen songs from their albums/EPs. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tune in for ...
