Hi,

Try:


http://sorties.lematin.ch/


This question comes up quite often, so there are some good suggestions in other threads.


Plenty of good local bands, of course it's a matter of taste, for example: Stevans, Aloan.


If you're around in late June there are 3 days of free outdoor concerts with dozens of local bands playing (Fête de la Musique).

Stephen Poppell & the Wolfpack is terrific.
Original country rock/blues and they put on a terrific show.

They play around Geneva and Ferney and the next show will be this Saturday at Charly O'Neill's
