Excavation & poésie offers traditional anarchist music that makes you want to heal the wounds of humanity with a jig and a bastringue. Climate emergency, capitalism and obsessive growth, ageist neglect, police brutality, vulnerability and humility: these musician-activists excavate many subjects.

Whether harmonizing their voices in protest against inequality, Excavation & Poésie will have you dancing and thinking in an atmosphere reminiscent of the holiday season, when we really can’t wait to get back to our families and old friends.

About:
Founded in 2018 in a spirit of collective revolt, Excavation & poésie has quickly carved out a place for itself on the emerging Quebec scene. After a mini album, a poetry collection on bookstore shelves, an eponymous beer, and over a hundred shows across Quebec, both in the bush of environmental protests and on the stages of major venues and festivals, the FRIMAT 2021-winning band launched its first full-length album on March 10: Ranger l’hiver. Their eponymous song won the Hydro Québec song award, and the band also won the MaTV best performance award for their appearance in the semi-finals of Ma Première Place des Arts.
