* Moriarty at Les Eurockeennes De Belfort Festival 2011 *

Last year, I discovered the rock festival in France with very diverse and interesting line-up and very close to Switzerland, location-wise. I've decided to visit it this year, again. Les Eurockéennes de Belfort is a festival that is taking place on the peninsula of Malsaucy, near Belfort, France. Amazingly enough, even if this festival is happening since 1989, it’s line up seems to be always fresh, but not overwhelming, having just right amount of more and less known artists. Easy to access: if you are staying at the campsite you could take a walk or a shuttle buss and if staying in Belfort, there are free local trains running every half an hour, even during the night. There are four stages on the festival: Grande Scene (main stage), Club Loggia (that got covered up this year), Esplanade Green Room (which replaced smaller Chapiteau from the last year) and La Plage (that moved to even better location from the beach to the water)...  All of the stages are surrounded with beautiful scenery, water and green hills reflecting in it. My review of Les Eurockéennes 2011, in tonight's Gimme A Beat, will consist from two parts. In the first part I will focus on Moriarty, band with members of French, American, Swiss and Vietnamese origin, who took the name from the lead character of Jack Kerouac's On the Road novel. Their music is as diverse as parentage of the members of the band as they play something between folk, country, blues, jazz and cabaret. The real magic, however, happens on the stage when, with their theater like performance, Moriarty takes you to their fantasy land. I've managed to catch up with Rosemary, Stephan and Thomas Moriarty, backstage, in the press area, for a short but fun interview, that, together with the music from their latest album The Missing Room, will be featured in tonight's show. Second part of the Gimme A Beat will be dedicated to the selected music of other female artists and bands with female leading vocals that contributed to my Les Eurockéennes experience. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tune in tonight to Gimme A Beat (15.08.2011) for...
