Sacré nom d'une pipe ! 12XU is the first french band ever who'll play at the Fest... they're still a young trio (Gwen-bass+vocals, Hugues-drums,Julien-vocals+guitar) from Lyon, France, born 2 years ago... Tube amps and loud mid tempos lead their songs, as well as the idea of mixing classic emo roots with punk rock influences.
They're currently ending a series of 4x7" as a debut release after a demo tape, released also a 7" split with Old Growth on Purepainsugar and Bakery Outlet this summer... And the Fest will be the beginning of a small US tour w/ Old Growth and Tubers!
Some of them are also currently playing in Daitro and also used to play in Baron Noir and The Flying Worker! some years ago as well...
Sacrebleu !
