Nouvel album "Dans le ciel où j'habite" déjà dispo.
BoutiQue Rock Band is a Spanish Rock band, which writes its lyrics in French, influenced by the bands of the 70s, yet blending in with today's music. The fact that there are two guitar players and a drummer, make the formation quite unusual, but if we add the fact that the drummer also plays bass and keyboards at the same time as the drums, then that's what really arouses curiosity. They also use loops, although we cannot say if this is something new or unique in live music, since other formations also use them, but what can be said is that BoutiQue Rock Band have something new to offer. They also use loopers, although we cannot say that this is something new or unique in current music, since other formations also use them, but what can be said is that BoutiQue Rock Band has its own personality. They dress in white, wear hats, and take care of their repertoire to such an extent that the songs on their setlist are linked with instrumental passages that create a very special atmosphere between song and song. who were already together in other formations.
The members of the group are three, a drummer and two guitar players, who were already together in other formations.
• Michel « Llantias »: Author, Composer, Guitar, Voice.
• Albert « Txiqui »: Guitar, Backing vocals, Arrangements.
• Vincent Fébrer: Drums, Keyboards and Bass.
As we mentioned before, the chosen language of expression in this musical fusion is French, despite the band being based in Spain.
The music of BoutiQue Rock Band (or BrB as they like to call themselves) is basically Rock fused with French songs, although their influences come from quite contrasting styles, such as Blues or Funk, Symphonic Rock or Indie, just to name a few and they like to experiment with a ruleless music, from which a ballad begins to sound with its chords and clean arpeggios, and ends up being linked to distortions and electronic sounds that defy the standards of Rock, as can be heard in their single "Le Temps Perdu" or "The Lost Times". The duration of their songs are not within the current "timings", since they usually have an average of 6 minutes, which they do not care about anything, "We make music to be listened to, not to be consumed or simply heard". The songs are more intended for Live than for Studio album. "What we want is to invite the public to let themselves be carried away in our live shows."
The audience can interpret the lyrics of the stories told in their songs in different ways as the band wants everyone to imagine their own story from a literary narrative of simple words and sentences, inviting the listener to enter their own world. Their music also appeals to the imagination and easily lets oneself be carried away by their melodies as well as their text.
The members of BoutiQue Rock Band come from other formations in which Rock, Hard Rock, Psychedelic Rock or Vintage Rock, were the basis of their music, much more seventies orientated than they interpret now, but in which they already experimented and stood out with respect to other similar formations, earning them very positive reviews from the Spanish specialized press, and even being recognized for their own characteristic sound, often so difficult to define in a rock band.
By listening to their songs, you will surely recognise there are groups and singers of different styles, even if it is in the brief fragments of the music they perform now , among the many influences of BoutiQue Rock Band.
The objective of BoutiQue Rock Band is just to make their audience vibrate during the live shows, touching their souls with their music.
The Covid-19 pandemic caused them to reinvent the way they think and promote their music, giving priority to spreading it mainly through well-known digital channels such as YouTube or Instagram, broadcasting their live-recorded rehearsals in both audio and video, with every imperfection included, both in performance as in sound quality, thus skipping the recording of a studio album, at least for the moment, as the "window" provided by these channels is enough to make themselves known, both by their music, image, and even with their repertoire. The funny thing is that during the pandemic year, the group released an album entitled "BoutiQue Rock Band - Les Répètes - (The Rehearsals )", a compilation of all the recorded audio from the rehearsals that make up the setlist of the band."
In 2022, the group decided to release a studio single per month, and they were published on the main streaming channels. They can currently be heard on Spotify, YouTube, Deezer, Apple Music, Tidal, etc. All the singles will be part of an album planned for the end of 2022 and to be titled "Dans le ciel où j'habite" (In the sky where I live).
In November 2022 they appear on the Radio3 program "El Hexágono" within the space "Encuentro Hispano Francés 31", a special dedicated to French groups singing in Spanish, and Spanish groups singing in French. We can listen to them from minute 51:28 of the program from this link. https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/el-hexagono/encuentro-hispano-frances-31-12-11-22/6731811/
In December 2023 they release their album "Dans Le Ciel Où J'habite" with 15 songs, including their singles and new instrumental songs.
