First important thing about 10 rue d’la madeleine : you HAVE to get the album of this group from Nîmes to pretend to have a good view over this gang’s musical expense.
A gang made of Peter Goldberg (violin), Brad Bronstein (voice), Bill Nuggets (guitar), Mike Flanagan (bass), Eddy ‘ED’ Flint (clarinet) et Andy Burke (drums).It does sound english, doesn’t it ? Is this the French Connexion from Nîmes ? Nope. 10 rue d’la madeleine is a french sextet filled with energy, humour, and claims.
They describe themselves as the link between Rage Against the Machine and Goran Bregovic.
10 rue d’la madeleine releases its first album called « Sur les murs », 12 tracks for 40 minutes. The rock influence is very sensible throughout the major part of the album, along with ska rock..

Maurice Ravel’s Bolero is a ballet for orchestras in C major, composed in 1928 and created on November 22 of the same year at the Garnier opera by its dedicatee, the russian dancer Ida Rubinstein. A danse move with unchanging rythm and tempo, a monotonous and repetitive melody, Ravel’s Bolero gets its only variations from the orchestration effects, its progressive crescendo, and a short modulation in E major.
This singular piece, which Ravel considered a simple orchestration study, has been since its creation played very often and is today one of the most played musical pieces. But the Bolero’s great popularity tends to hide its originality and its author’s real intentions.

Guitarist Pascal Corriu is one of those artists who, far away from trends, evolve through multiple experiences without disowning the roots of their art.
Considered as one of the most talented heir of blues in the South of France, Pascal has always trusted his musical instinct to polish his act, his sound and to develop his own language, which draws its authenticity from the best standards of Jazz.

Listen to the voice of the mineral lines drawn from eternal sleep. Hidden in each standing stone, we are the immortal she-guardians of space and time. At the dawn of mankind, the wise men you call Druids knew how to talk to stones and twang the magic spark which was asleep within each of them.
In exchange, we used to spread our invisible beams around the Earth. From Aswan to Carnac, from Stonhenge to the Valley of the Kings. Our network could abolish time and those who could tame us could travel in the past as easily as one crosses the threshold of an inn. Mankind then lived a golden age, of peace and tolerance.
Alas, evil or unconscious men put an end to the travelling era through the violation of our ancestral rules. During their time travels, some of them chased their enemies’ ancestors to eliminate them. Others seduced ladies of old and gave birth to impossible descendants. We could not tolerate such paradoxes. Our legions of infernal creatures descended to earth to restore the natural order. Mankind then experienced a dark age, haunted by fear, disease and madness.
For this nightmare to cease, the disciples of the druids swore to keep silent and forget the song of the lines of stones. At the end of the era you call the 20th century, Terracotta succeeded in extracting the fossil sounds imprisoned in the heart of the matter. This alchemist of sounds immediately developed an interest for the Armoric Menhirs. Thanks to the technological tools your absurd world had created, he exhumed a sacred stone, the echo of the prayer had sent us to travel through space and time… with his confidant, Marc de Ponkallec, he started to visit the past, searching for forgotten harmonies and lost instruments…
In remote epochs, they met long-gone musicians with whom they tied anachronistic friendships: Kervador, the knight of the Winged Whale, and Lachilaout, the Bard of the Bigouden land, soon joined the travelling band. We are once again spinning our invisible web through space and time to let our stowaway passengers advance through the night, the “Stone Age Chronotravellers“.
