Traktorkestar — The band that tears your heart and head off, that knocks out any big band and can motivate any town band between the Iberian Peninsula and Asia Minor. High-speed disco-grooves, wild siren sounds, tear-jerking melodies, nostalgic tunes that rock the skies, always gritty and dangerous! The contemporary interpretation of the genre is fully expressed in live concerts. For some, the performance culminates in a frenzy of dance, for others too. Traktorkestar not only combines its own music with that of the Balkans, it also builds bridges between city and village, between tradition and modernity, between the tractor and the orchestra!

Le Bel Hubert is a singer and garage mechanic from the Jura who is said to be “the man who spoke in the ear of the two chevaux”. He sometimes trades in his tools for his guitar and his beautiful, cheerful, mellifluous songs. These tender, generous little tales draw on the absurd, offbeat imaginations of Bobby Lapointe, Boris Vian and Bourvil. Yves Jamait says that he has a mischievous look in his eyes, that he sings songs that are seemingly outdated, where naivety rubs shoulders with deep intelligence and barely feigned rebellion. Feet on the ground, head in the stars…

Perfect Strangers — Immerse yourself in the golden age of Deep Purple.
Perfect Strangers places “The Roots and Trees of Deep Purple” at the centre of their musical creation. Deep Purple, that legendary icon, gave birth to many bands such as Whitesnake, Rainbow, Black Country Communion and many others.
Perfect Strangers revives legendary songs such as Fireball, Burn, Smoke on the Water, Child in Time, Knocking At Your Back Door and many more, with a faithfulness to the sound and a closeness to the original. The five experienced musicians from central Switzerland, Arnd Sommer (vocals), Urs Künzli (guitar), Stefan Schmid (Hammond), Daniel Schällibaum (bass) and Remo Sommerhalder (drums), are the guarantors of a rocking atmosphere on stage.
Perfect Strangers has captured the spirit of this legendary rock band and travels back in time with their live performances.

Drinkers Soul — What the F…. that mean…? To get drunk … is to get closer to your soul. From time immemorial and among all peoples. People have sought to ingest various potions in order to release or bring into themselves this source of life that is emotion.
Kiki Rais Guitar and vocals, José Trémols Drums, Daniel Chariatte Bass.
Das ist die Musik! It’s the music! They let it flow in and out of them, taking back a little of its soul along the way. The music of their youth, inspired by blues, rock and jazz. The big brothers of the seventies. Deep Purple. ZZ Top. Santana. Jimi Hendrix. Pink Floyd. Rolling Stones. “All that shit…Man”.
Over twenty years of torturing the notes of these Lords of “Blues Rock”. Three CDs of covers… recorded on the altar of reincarnation… so as not to forget… to bring to life and revive “the old-timers that haunt our ears and memories”.
2022 is the fourth opus! “FIRE’D” 19 tracks and this time only original compositions but so inspired and tinged with the past. On the “Live” stage, the “Power-Trio” give priority to the moment… the living… The adrenalin of improvisation… the energy… And it moves, it travels, it sways, from a calm sea to the wildest of storms. Not always Noble, but always True.

OPEN SEASON — Keep My Fire Burning… Open Season is the number one reggae-ska band in Switzerland. With sold-out shows in the best clubs, performances at all the major Swiss festivals and several tours in European cities, the band from Bern is heating up the audience far beyond the national borders. The band has been playing on national radio stations and has releases in Europe, the USA and Japan. Open Season brings its own version of reggae, rocksteady and ska and, after more than 700 shows, knows what counts: it has to be loud and powerful.
Open Season plays ska, rocksteady and reggae. Lots of bass, jazzy horns, charismatic vocals and sophisticated electro sounds… The band’s authentic sound bridges the gap between the crackle of vinyl singles and the scream of synthesizers.

CRAZY DIAMOND – The Pink Floyd Tribute — It’s like a good wine: it gets better with age. Crazy Diamond has been rocking the stage for over 20 years. A couple of grey hairs may have been added, but the message remains the same: pure Pink Floyd! The fans know the songs inside out. Crazy Diamond performs them with a disconcerting authenticity, but always adds a few extra bricks to the fire. The live shows are a treat for the ears. The songs are more powerful and dynamic than on the albums, with a special flavour and a few personal notes. Songs like “Another brick in the wall”, “Wish you were here” and “Time” resonate with a new strength. The band can’t help but regularly dig into the archives, bringing out a long-forgotten oldie to make it shine again. So: soak up the good vibes, delve into the past, listen to “echo of a distant time”, feel the goose bumps and “breathe in the air”. Pink Floyd is alive!

The Boogie Heads were born in 2017 from the ashes of the band Charlie Gilbert & The Rockin’ Bluesmen. Charlie Gilbert (vocals, guitar), a veteran with a passion for blues and old rock, invited Charlie G., a rock guitarist since the70’s (Atlantic Sound, Longway) and Angelo Oliva, a drummer with a 25 year background in the blues and rock scene (Seven Moon, Les Talus, Kissing Toads) to join him following departures. The style and sound of the band, now renamed The Boogie Heads, took a more rock direction than before, while revitalizing some of the blues of the old repertoire.
In 2020, Claude Maître (Marenghin’s rock bass player) became the band’s bass player. In 2022, Luca Maturo was invited to reinforce the formation, having convinced thanks to his experience and his talents as a multi-instrumentalist (guitar, harmonica, singing).
The Boogie Heads have played an average of ten concerts per year since 2017, from Geneva to Basel, although mainly in the Jura arc. The Boogie Heads play in a natural way rock or blues in the style of the 60s and 70s, music in which they were immersed in their youth, whether through their own compositions, adaptations of some known titles or other more obscure ones. There is no doubt that The Boogie Heads will make you shake your head, tap your foot, and even jump up and down with pleasure.

DJ — A Journey trough Music and Space
DJ Jubia3000 (Lucerne) has been searching for “THE” sound for a few years now: The journey moves from the sixties with psychedelic rock, garage, beat in a wide arc over the beginnings of the eighties with Italo disco, new wave and punk rock, closely followed by a chop to funky seventies and soulful tropical tunes on top of which a pinch of Italianità can be sprinkled.
The bags are always packed with lots of black gold, according to the motto “Everything can, nothing must”.
Obscure Cosmic Disco: Once around the globe and back from Beirut via Sao Paolo with a detour to Napoli, closely followed by Abidjan with a little excursion into space. Always in the pockets: Body Moving Rhythm and lots of Emoción!
