Forgas Band Phenomena, France

News: Forgas Band Phenomena's 6th album L'Oreille Electrique will be released by Cuneiform on October November 9th. Most curious how this one will turn out.

Location: Paris

 Overview:  What makes the Forgas Band Phenomena so great is the synergy of an instrumental 7 piece band. So in addition to the standard rock quartet of guitar, keyboards, bass and drums - you also have dedicated members providing violin, trumpet and sax/flute. The music is tight and energetic, while never forgetting that their main premise is to rock your britches off. How many progressive bands today forget this last component?
