30 Jan - Brit Band To Rock French Pistes

British group Archive have been confirmed as one of the act for this year’s Rock The Pistes Festival in the French/Swiss Portes du Soleil ski region.

Archive , who have been playing together since 1994 and who have released eight albums, will be on the outdoor stage at Avoriaz on Wednesday 28th of March at 1.30pm in Avoriaz. The band have an electro rock and trip hop sound and their song ‘You Make Me Feel’ was used in a Levis advert.

The festival, which launched last year as the ‘Festival des Concerts Sauvages’ (Wild Music Festival) runs from the 24th to the 28th of March and promises the 2012 event will be, “more international, more fun and more rock!.”

It brings together seven French and international musicians for five days of gigs on the ski slopes which are all free for all skiers and snowboarders in the 12 Franco-Swiss resorts of the Portes du Soleil.

The Rock the Pistes Festival Fringe will ensure the resorts of the Portes du Soleil stay buzzing after the gigs on the slopes are finished.
