"Kentucky Derby Festival: Managing City Services and Partnerships"

Bio

Classique dans le fond, moderne dans la forme, Cannon Fodder, formé de Chris Martini (guitare, claviers/chant) de Miss Alice Martini (basse, chœurs) et de Nico Wireman (batterie, chœurs) teinte leur swamp rock classieux de nuances sombres toute en s'attaquant à un rythme incandescence. Le combo made in Le Mans, inspiré par Spencer P Jones et BEASTS OF BOURBON a tout pour plaire en nous plongeant dans des paysages sonores addictifs… Une mécanique puissante et nerveuse estampillée Beast Records.
