Two U.S rock bands are to play in the Dordogne this weekend, bringing explosive live music to a traditionally peaceful day.

This Sunday punk rockers The Bellrays and The Fleshtones will play Rocksane, a popular music venue in Bergerac and one of the most popular venues in the Dordogne. The concert will start at 6pm, with tickets costing 18 euros on the door or 15 euros pre-ordered.

Unlike many gigs at Rocksane, this explosive concert is likely to only be suitable for 18s or over.

The Bellray’s performance is part of their European tour. The rather odd choice of a Sunday evening for a rock concert is the result of their hectic schedule; the band is playing a different venue for every single day they are on the continent. According to SudOuest.com, this non-stop schedule reflects the quartet’s non-stop style of music, characterised by punk tempos, edgy guitar riffs and the soulful voice of singer Lisa Kekula – a combination of garage rock and soul singing that fits their slogan of “Maximum Rock N’Soul”.

As well as the Bellray’s, concert-goers will have the opportunity to see New York garage rock group The Fleshtones. Since forming in 1976, this band has amassed a huge cult following, though their independent streak has stood in the way of mass commercial success. 

With over three decades of experience playing alongside names like Iggy Pop, James Brown, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley and relative newcomers The Strokes, arguably it’s The Fleshtones who should get top billing this Sunday. If you love rock n’roll and you’re in the Dordogne, there’s no better way you could spend your Sunday.
