Not
to missed is a rare New York appearance by the excellent French rock group,
VERSARI, featuring the voice of Jean-Charles Versari, who will be playing
with some New York musical guests: Andrew Innes, Ernest Adzentoivitch,
& Dawn Landes.
Versari is a three piece band lead by Jean-charles Versari, with Jason
Glasser (a.k.a. Fruitkey, and ex-Clem Snide) and Cyril Bilbeaud (ex-Sloy).
Their music is a subtle mixture of romantic-colored lyrics – mostly
in french, but some in english for the occasion - and mellow landscape
rock, sometimes flirting with tenseness.
Here is what the press thinks about it :
“... between Dominique A‘s temperance and Nick Cave’s
torments there is a small breach in which this parisian artist dives,
and we follow him.” Le Monde
“It’s the melody of a numb body, the murmur of a rock music
that knows that one can’t scream while in a dream : from Low to
Lambchop, Versari exists in this tradition of luminous depression, of
slow elegance.” Les Inrockuptibles
“... a powerfully dark and dissonant first album of chanson nurtured
with english electricity.” Rolling Stone
