Hot Gully Wind - Les Grys-Grys à travers l'Europe
<p lang="fr-FR">
</p>
<p>
Cardboard coffins ripping apart, ecstatic crys of amps with holes in the them, screeching tires of a mountain bike : English-style blues-rock is alive and well, Les Grys-Grys brought it back from the dead and intend to spread their voodoo into the darks of squats in the bowels of Europe.</p>

<em> "Blouson Noir et Boudin Blanc" - Canal B </em></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
In November 14, in a journey across Europe, the band will visit 9 different cities through 6 country, play in 2 festivals, differents bars, clubs and basements in Prague, Hambourg and Brussels. They will go from squat places to italian ski resort, crossing Les Alpes in their mini-Van till the north sea, for a two weeks tour.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
You don't plan to be in Germany at the beggining of November? We have the solution. All along the travel, several cameras will tape the concerts, and the life of the band, to make the very first movie about them.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Documentary about the tour as much as a retranscription of a certain state of mind, <i>Hot Gully Wind</i></p>
<p>
sprouted as a project in the mind of Joachim, long-time friend of the group, who follows and films Les Grys-Grys since their beginning in 2010.</p>

3 cameramen and a sound recordist will follow Les Grys-Grys' van along the 8 stops of their tour. Froms the bars of Leipzig to the streets of Roubaix, from improvised concerts to the stages of festivals, we won't miss a thing of the energy transmitted.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Images et excerpts from the concerts will be regularly posted on the internet. Staying true to the band's spirit, we will exclude no format (Super 8, DV, HD, …)</p>

<p>
The finishing results will be a film about the ON as much as the OFF, and reproduce the atmosphere of electric whirlwind that is the music of Les Grys-Grys. </p>

Jochim, filmmaker and director of photography knows Les Grys-Grys from a long time ago. He is the one who first got the idea to make a real documentary project about them. For years he used to shoot concerts with his cellphone and dv cameras. He wants to take advantage of this new tour to release a full movie. </p>

UPDATE N°1</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
What if we get more than we expected ?</p>
<p>
Halfway through the end we can already start to think about it, thanks to you ! </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If ever we get more founds, we will use the money to rent hostel room and appartements to shoot Les Grys-Grys in unusual situations. At least one or two differents concerts could be set up in those places. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Anyway, whether we get more than we asked for, it would always be usefull regarding unexpected costs due to travel ! </p>
