LYS & STEVE HEWITT | Music Tour

LYS & STEVE HEWITT (PLACEBO)

European Tour | currently on tour

MUSIC TOUR | DAKOTA PRODUCTION

To celebrate the 10 anniversary of the band LYS, RODOLPH NASILLSKI worked closely with their founder and lead singer, NICOLAS VERON,  to make that event a gift to the audience. The idea came up quickly: push further the act that RODOLPH NASILLSKI directed at Olympia Hall in Paris in 2012 and make it a tour through Europe. Launched in 2018, the story hasn't ended yet, dates are scheduled in 2020 and a third album is coming.


It's a long story between LYS, STEVE HEWITT (former Placebo drummer and songwriter) and RODOLPH NASILLSKI. If LYS and STEVE HEWITT had met a couple of years before working with RODOLPH NASILLSKI, he was the one who brought them on stage for the very first time at Olympia Hall in Paris for his show "DÉPART IMMÉDIAT !". Since then, he's kept in mind the project to put them on tour through Europe. The 10th anniversary of LYS was the perfect opportunity. Planned to make a few dates in 2018, that show toured in 2019 as well and more dates are to come in 2020 while a new album is in the pipe.The story isn't ready to end.

First French indie rock band LYS spotted in London by STEVE HEWITT (drummer & songwriter in the multi million selling PLACEBO) in 2011 the band has won a first album recording thanks to the label Warner Music, produced by STEVE HEWITT himself and mixed by PAUL CORKETT (The Cure, Placebo, Bjork, Fiction Plane, Nick Cave, Radiohead & many others).

Their second album is co-written with CRAIG WALKER (Archive), mixed by PAUL CORKETT with STEVE HEWITT on drums. The mastering was done by CHAB (Grammy Awards with Daft Punk). The band have played across the globe including SXSW, CMJ, Olympia Paris, Printemps Bourges, Midi China and Oxjam London Festival.
