Justine — Europe 1997

About this series

This European tour will see Justine following a rather busy schedule: ten days, nine concerts, nine cities in four different countries. Austria: Linz, Ebensee, St. Martin. Germany: Ulm, Reutlingen, Hanau, Magdeburg. France: Mulhouse. Switzerland: Neuchâtel.

Improvised rock, punk-jazz, post-modern ethnic: Justine’s music is hybrid in nature. From jig to digital, from tango to noise, the band serves up an assemblage of sonic layers and musical chunks. A textured sound in which soul is expressed through synthetic instruments and surprising twists.

Justine can easily switch from instrumental tunes to songs. Lyrics are half playful, half metaphorical, sweet, and activist. Four voices, each with its own hues, contribute their rough, light, chanted and whispered tones to the message.
