On Friday 17th and Saturday, April 18th, The Grand Brassage will take place. “This name is the link between different styles of music, people, and a nod to beer,” smiles Jesus. As for the price, the organizers have decided to set a “free and conscious” price, starting from 1 euro. “Everyone gives what they want according to their means,” explains the brewer. This amount will be given to the bands.
From punk to stoner
The program for these two evenings includes three bands each time. On Friday night, the rock band Empty Brain from Saintes, the third-placed winners of the Saintes Coup de Pouce competition, will open this first edition. The rock band Luma Project from Bordelo-Chapelains will then take the stage with their compositions, inspired by Queens of the Stone Age and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Finally, the stoner rock band Walnut Grove DC from La Rochelle will close this first evening.
The following day, Saturday, the punk band Cheun2garde from Saintonge will present their newly released demo. Syland (Saintes-progressive rock), who has already performed at the famous Crescendo festival in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, will come to amaze the audience. And to end on a high note, the veteran punk band Mind the Gap from La Rochelle will close out this first event.
