About this concert
DIET CIG (US) - Pop/Punk/Indie THE SPOOK SCHOOL (UK) - Rock/Indie/Pop Jeudi, 28 septembre 2017Portes 20h30 / Concert 21hDiet Cig, cest le genre de projet que seule la scène new yorkaise peut engendrer, un duo guitare-chant + batterie en mode pop-punk / indie-rock avec ce quil faut de lo-fi et de SWAG pour que ça fonctionne. « Swear Im Good At This », le premier format long de la paire Luciano / Bowman, est un petit bijou de fraîcheur et dimmédiateté. Avec ses 12 titres qui senchaînent en 28 minutes, la galette se révèle variée, efficace et bigrement bien foutue. La recette de lentité bicéphale ? Des distorsions - avec ce quil faut de fuzz auxquelles sajoutent des vocaux tout en douceur et une rythmique martelée qui va droit au but. Diet Cieg, cest un des groupes les plus attrayants du moment, un must-see réjouissant à ne pas manquer et aussi un peu lidéal du band quon voulait tous avoir à 18 ans. The Spook School se chargeront de chauffer la salle en mode pop punk / queer indie pop du meilleur goût. Formé en 2012 à Edinburgh, le quartette est engagé dans la lutte anti genre, pro LGBT et évolue dans un style qui nest pas sans rappeler les Buzzcocks ou The Shop Assistants. Ils se réclament également de linfluence de David Bowie.

Diet Cig Biography
Diet Cig are here to have fun. They’re here to tear you away from the soul-sucking sanctity of your dumpster-fire life and replace it with pop-blessed punk jams about navigating the impending doom of adulthood when all you want is to have ice cream on your birthday.
Alex Luciano (guitar and vocals) and Noah Bowman (drums) have been playing music together ever since Luciano interrupted the set of Bowman's previous band for a lighter. The New York duo have since released the infectious, 2015 ‘Over Easy’ EP that introduced consistent sing-a-long lyrics with thrashing drums and strums that never held back.
‘Swear I’m Good At This’ is the first full-length from the band and accumulates their tenacity for crafting life-affirming, relatable tales with a gutsy heart at their core. Luciano has the ability to write lyrics that are both vulnerable and badass, perfecting a storm of emotive reflection that creates a vision of a sweaty, pumped-up room screaming these lines in unison. Diet Cig make it okay to be the hot mess that you are.
But there’s also a deeper, more powerful fuck-you among the bangers that see Diet Cig grow into an unstoppable and inspiring force. “I’m not being dramatic, I’ve just fucking had it with the things that you say you think that I should be” spits Luciano on “Link in Bio”; “I am bigger than the outside shell of my body and if you touch it without asking then you’ll be sorry” she yells on “Maid Of The Mist”. It’s the sound of a band doing things on their own terms.
Wrapping up ‘Swear I’m Good At This’ on Halloween 2016, exactly two years after they finished recording ‘Over Easy’ on Halloween 2014, Diet Cig’s first, full-length LP validates the experiences of punks who aren’t always accepted first time around; the punks who throw their deuces up at the dominating bro-dudes and ignite the importance of owning everything that you are.
