Monsterwatch (Usa) + Après-Garde + Mixture

Monsterwatch, a Seattle garage‑punk trio led by singer John Spinney, are at Le Chinois in Montreuil on 13 March 2026. Formed in 2017, the band solidified with Ben Parker on bass and David Cubine on drums. Live, they run through short, nervy songs—saturated guitars and clipped beats—with a frontal vocal delivery edged with persistent sarcasm. Between noise, punk and a grunge inheritance, their heavy yet melodic riffs keep the set taut and without a dull moment.

Garde, a Parisian post‑punk quartet, plays tight and without frills: angular guitars, a hammering bass and drums that cut. At the crossroads of punk, post‑punk and bursts of noise, the group favors impact, sudden accelerations and sharp breaks, producing a compact, efficient format.

Mixture lays down raucous rock where noise mixes with emotion. Between saturated surges and slower, more open passages, the band shifts textures and tensions, seeking a balance between collision and fragility, and delivers a raw set forged for the stage.
