Here's the deal : I am Nicolas Salmon, I am French, I am very keen on music and live performance, and I am organising a short UK tour for a French band in order to complete a training in performance production.

They are called La Mouche, and will be supported by Immigrant Swing (from Bristol).

Their genre ? Hard to describe... Anyway, they are far from common. Here's how they describe themselves :

"Our music is like a contorted puppet, where your knees collide to the beat of a revisited foxtrot. It's the Specials rude boy ska, meeting the White Stripes gritty rock, and smoky fuzzy sounds. It's the Cramps and the B52s meeting Tom Waits and Tim Burton. On stage, it's a festive and macabre furious show."

Listen to their music on their soundcloud.

Quite a challenge, for a beginner like me...

And though, le most difficult part is done, and here are the dates :

- 30/04/16 : Totterdown (the Oxford)

- 03/05/16 : Cardiff (the Gwdihw) FB event

- 05/05/16 : Bristol (the South Bank Club) FB event
