* Evelinn Trouble, Steff La Cheffe and Velvet Two Stripes at m4music in Zurich *

m4music is a 4-days music festival which, since 1998, at the end of the March, takes place every year in Zürich and in one other city of the French speaking part of Switzerland (usually Lausanne). The event is organized by the Migros Pour-cent culturel. As a music festival m4music features four live stages in the beautiful Schiffbau complex. But m4music is much more then just another music festival. It is also a conference with presentations and discussions as well as a competition for next generation of musicians (Demotape Clinic). There are always interesting panel discussion on hot issues in latest music business held by industry experts. And at the venue, you can see many national and international people from music industry hanging around, sharing ideas, knowledge and opinions. And best of all you can meet them and join them as well. Therefore maybe m4music can be best defined as a type of an exchange platform between artists, clubs and cultural institutions with a strong focus on young artists. I have been visiting m4music for many years now, but this year I decided to review/cover one day of it and as usual, focus on the female factor on m4music. On Friday, 22nd of March, I've managed to catch two female artists: singer/songwriter from Zürich: Evelinn Trouble (real name Linnéa Racine); beat-boxer and swiss-german female rapper from Bern: Steff La Cheffe (real name Stefanie Peter) and all-female, rock band from St Gallen: Velvet Two Stripes for a quick interviews while they were getting ready for their gigs later in the evening. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tune in tonight to Gimme A Beat (20.05.2013) for impressions of their gigs and the festival, interviews and to hear selected songs from their new albums.
