What is the Tremplin Nice Zik Zak?
Every year, La Ruche (Imago Production) organizes a major competition to provide local musical groups with support and training for a year in the profession of a musician.
Tremplin Nice Zik Zak (Panda06 production and Fonétiq) has partnered with this program by offering promotional support: visual identity, website, portfolio…
On Wednesday, December 15, a grand concert will take place to determine who will be the lucky participants to receive the training and support.
Thanks to the combination of these two programs, the local scene of current music now has a comprehensive tool to integrate into professional music circuits.
Did Koala [Folk]
Poetic and bucolic. These are apt descriptions for Did Koala, a musician who roams with his guitar wherever the good wind takes him. Here, he is accompanied by Diego, a virtuoso violinist, and Marin on the double bass.
Little d Big B [Indie rock]
Born from the encounter between the bands Milkyway and Pop’curl, the now Little d Big B (referencing the dB of decibel) draw inspiration from groups such as The White Stripes, The Vines, and Arctic Monkeys to deliver a sound fueled by their diverse musical influences and to storm the new French rock scene.
Créateur de Sons Organisés [Electro folk]
Créateur de Sons Organisés is a young outfit consisting of Antoine, a multi-instrumentalist composer, and David on the drums. Alternating between folk, pop, and electro, CSO offers an ethereal universe served on a bed of reverb, directly inspired by Radiohead and the like.
Les P’tits Gars Laids [Chanson]
Les P’tits Gars Laids play with words and pluck all the strings of their instruments for a refreshing acoustic rendering. Accordion, piano, double bass, percussion, and guitars combine to make an audience dance as widely as possible.
Tapenga [Indie rock]
At the heart and origin of the band, Sébastien aka I am Pooh Loves Pretty Sybilline sets the tone: eclectic and independent tracks, like exquisite corpses walking hand in hand with Beck (“died in the 90s”?) or Grandaddy. A unique universe that dons its rock outfit live through Tapenga.
