RubiCan: Trouble​-​Fête EP

A new video by RubiCan for the track A la mémoire, which features on their EP Trouble-Fête which is released today.

RubiCan is a solo project by Pierre-Louis François, who recorded the music and performs live entirely on his own.  He's  a veteran of other acts ranging from grunge to dark folk, as well playing bass and guitar with Le Prince Miiaou.

The new release follows the five track Brise-Lame EP that came out in May last year, a release I very much enjoyed.

The new EP is a four track affair, with  punchy electro rock but grounded in some quality songwriting.

RubiCan have some dates  in France,  having played Paris on Wednesday they play La Rochelle tonight before some more shows in March and April including a  asupport slot for Jeanne Added in Angoulême on March 6.

New Acts: RubiCan - Par delà la pudeur

An inventive piece of electro chanson by RubiCan  for the track Par delà la pudeur.

RubiCan is a project by Pierre-Louis François, a veteran of French act Luis Francesco Arena.

Luis Francesco Arena was essentially a vehicle for Pierre-Louis François, latterly a three piece with François-Pierre Fol and Yohan Landry. There were four albums in their ten year career, the act receiving considerable critical acclaim for their folk flavoured indie rock.

The final show under the Luis Francesco Arena name took place in August last year, Francois saying that in recent months his music had evolved towards new horizons and that after careful consideration a new project had been born.

 Par delà la pudeur comes from a five track EP entitled Brise-Lame released earlier this month, featuring this track alongside Analphabet, Bittersweet, Once Meet and Le Large.

RubiCan plays at the Graine d'Arts Festival 2015 in Vouvray in France on Saturday May 30.
