Trouver les musiciens qui allaient faire de ce motel LE Rock Motel, est la mission qui m'a été confiée, avec quelques (petites) contraintes : ne pas se limiter à une époque, essayer de couvrir (presque) tous les aspects du rock, qu’il y ait des femmes, des hommes, des groupes, des légendes, des moins connus...mais qu’il soient toutes et tous ROCK! La difficulté n’a pas été d’arriver à trouver suffisamment de rock stars intéressantes, le plus dur a été d’en supprimer pour arriver à un nombre de chambres limité. Et il en manque, forcément. L’un de vos groupes ou artistes préférés, est probablement absent… mais pour l'heure, je suis ravi de voir que ce 1er booking du Rock Motel affiche COMPLET! Quant à vous, il ne vous reste plus qu'à passer de chambres en chambres, de punk en glam, de stoner en new wave, de grunge en P-funk, de metal en électro. Ouvrez grand vos yeux et vos oreilles, soyez les bienvenus dans le Rock Motel... ... Il compito che mi era stato affidato era solo apparentemente semplice, selezionare i musicisti che avrebbero reso il nostro motel IL Rock Motel. Inoltre andava portato a compimento secondo alcune (piccole) condizioni: non limitarsi ad una sola epoca, cercare di proporre (quasi) tutti gli stili del rock, includere donne, uomini, gruppi, leggende della musica e artisti meno conosciuti... L'importante è che fossero tutti indiscutibilmente ROCK! La difficoltà, infatti, non era quella di trovare rock stars interessanti, bensì di rimuoverne alcune dalla lista per raggiungere un numero definito di stanze. Con l’ovvio risultato che qualcuno dei vostri gruppi o artisti preferiti potrebbe essere assente... ma per ora, sono lieto di vedere che alla sua apertura il Rock Motel risulti già al COMPLETO!

Quanto a voi, non vi resta che passare da una stanza all'altra, dal punk al glam, dallo stoner al new wave, dal grunge al P-funk, dal metal all'electro. Aprite bene gli occhi e le orecchie, state per immergerevi nell’atmosfera elettrizzante del Rock Motel...


Finding the musicians who would make this motel THE Rock Motel was the mission entrusted to me, with some (small) constraints: do not limit to one specific period, try to have (almost) all aspects of rock represented, include women, men, groups, legendary artists and less famous acts...but everyone essentially ROCK! The difficulty was certainly not in finding enough interesting Rock Stars, but in having to remove some to fit in a limited number of rooms. And of course some were left out. One of your favorite bands and artists are probably missing ... but for now, I am delighted to see that the first booking of the Rock Motel displays FULL! As for you, all you have to do is go from room to room and move from glam to punk, from stoner to new wave, from grunge to P-funk, from metal to electro. Open your eyes and ears, welcome to the Rock Motel... Luc Frelon
