Tallinn

Tallinn Music festival brings you two great French bands : Da Sweep and les Violons Barbares (The Barbaric Violins). They will perform 1 and 2 April.

DA SWEEP is an electronic musical project created by Sebastien Guérive (io’n) a multi-faceted composer (theatre, dance, cinema…) and Kevin Grosmolard (K20). Seb, a Drummer for many bands for over a decade, comes from a classical contemporary music background, while K20 is from Pop & Electronic music. Their common taste for the Iceland and Berlin electronic scenes (Apparat, Modselektor, Björk, Nils Frahm …) brought them together. The Duo shape a dancefloor universe mixing melodically ambiances and vocals. This high quality musical project is for sure promised to a bright future, combining accomplished musical writing and great stage performance, to dance or simply to listen, whatever you are an electro fan or not…
