GaBLé (FR)

No one had ever hear of this French band — much less cared about them — a mere few months back. But a few festival gigs were enough to secure their spot as the greatest concert sensation of the season. True to their DIY lo-fi roots, the band uses pretty much everything they can get their hands on, from acoustic guitars and violins, to electronics and seemingly useless objects. Frank Zappa must have inspired their rich imagination and sense of humor, but as soon as this group hits the stage, their debt to Elvis becomes immediately apparent. This explosion of positive energy and musical chaos cannot be described — you have to see it for yourself.
