THE QUINPHONIC FESTIVAL (Birmingham) : Weend’ô confirm they can play in Metal Festival too !

PermalinkNon classé

Unforgetable moments there, again !

To be honest, we did not feel very at ease because we are used to play for prog people or rock people.

At this festival (for metal bands with female vocals), we had to meet a new challenge : Weendo had to confirm/show they have their place in Metal Festivals !L

Well, Weendo received another success ! People were very surprised to discover our band, our music and they confirmed that we should play more in the Metal bands ‘ Festival !

It is up to the organizers…now you know ;)

SUMMER’S END PROG FESTIVAL 2017 : Weend’ô, the Revelation !

PermalinkNon classé

We lived a great moment at the Summer’s End Prog Festival in Wales last October !!

Absolutely insane ! The audience was so receptive to our musical universe that we sold nearly all our cds the same night !! Only 4 cds left to assure the merch the next day at the Birmingham’s festival (metal rock bands with female vocals only).

here after, pls find what people said above Weend’ô :

> Brian McAllister “To finish my top three acts of this year’s Summers End festival, this band was a revelation to a lot of people. They gave a fantastic performance.”

SATURDAY, 7TH OCTOBER 2017

A lovely day greets us as we drive back into Chepstow, park up and stroll to the Drill Hall. It promises to be a good day but it’s an unexpected highlight to start…

Weend’ô (F)

 Tony: Saturday; post breakfast, the machinations of mice, men and bowls of fruit, we arrive at The Drill Hall, Weend’ô have started and the powerful voice that is Laetitia Chaudemanche is demanding that I come and listen. It’s a wow, reminding me of Guesch Patti & Encore, it balances on the proverbial knife edge with both power and poise; without words the band of Térence Nguyen, Maxime Rami and Nathanaël Buis demonstrate a beautiful musicality, paired with Laetitia they become perfection. Yeah, okay, I am enamoured yet again by a great female voice. Yes, I bought their latest, Time of Awakening, and it is a cordon bleu banquette of sound. Do I recommend? Oh yes indeedy.

Jez: I certainly didn’t know much about Weend’ô beforehand, having noted to myself that I needed to investigate their music but never quite getting round to it, but their performance has inspired me to rectify that asap. They played a fascinating set with Laetitia Chaudemanche as the focal point, whether singing beautifully or at her keyboards, her solo piano piece a captivating experience. The band’s music does not fall into easy categorisation, an intriguing amalgam that moved from delicate to much more muscular, the band possessing all the necessary skills to pull it all off with panache. Another highlight of the weekend but from an unexpected source.

From the review on the picture of this article :  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156312193437784&set=pcb.10155983359699874&type=3&theater&ifg=1

“…Their focal point is the spectrally attired Laetitia Terence Nguyen, who combines dreamy, powerfully charged vocals with virtuoso piano playing. The band conjure up a late-night, smoky, atmospheric vibe, mixing ethereal keyboards with acoustic and heavy guitars”.

It is thanks to your support that Weendo keeps on creating !! “Time of Awakening” is an Hymn to Life (visible & invisible) – hard to describe with only words..it is more with the feelings that we understand what’s around and inside us…Another famous quote from Nietzsche : “The Artist has the power to awaken the strength to act that lies dormant inside other souls”.
