Les Ramoneurs de Menhirs

Les Ramoneurs de Menhirs bring Breton traditional music into collision with punk rock, carrying fest-noz rhythms into an amplified, politically charged concert. Their songs defend a Brittany committed to its cultural integrity while remaining open to other people and generations. That combination of dance energy, distorted guitars and anti-fascist conviction gives the band a sound rooted in tradition without treating tradition as a museum piece. Toxic Frogs open the bill with an all-female strain of Celtic punk that pairs explosive performance with attention to current social issues. Together, the groups make the Bateau Ivre a meeting place for folk continuity and dissenting rock. The pairing creates a forceful dialogue between regional identity, collective dancing and music used as a public voice.
