Offman band + Avalon Bloom

OFFMAN BAND: Dense Rock & Folk Founded in 2023 in Marseille, Offman Band is a project led by David Hofmann, a guitarist-singer from the independent rock scene. With Offman, he develops a personal universe at the crossroads of raw rock, sounds inspired by the 2000s and dense, deeply felt folk. Influenced by figures such as Neil Young and Danny Whitten, the project draws on a sincere rock tradition, combining organic guitars, electric tension and dreamlike textures. On stage, Offman Band relies on a strong lineup: Sasha Vaughan (guitar/vocals), a distinctive artist, formerly a member of Avenoir and now pursuing her own project, with influences ranging from Stevie Nicks to Jeff Buckley. Marine Sahakian (drums), also a member of the band Parade, is an experienced musician on the Marseille rock scene. Marie Fleur Hofmann (bass), formerly of the Parisian band Claire Dance, has always been active in the rock scene, with an instinctive and musical approach inherited from an artistic family environment. Together, they create a world of not necessarily conventional rock songs, with dream-pop flights, combining raw energy, folk-rock momentum and immersive atmospheres. Offman Band delivers an intense, deeply felt live performance, oscillating between electric power and suspended moments, and is currently recording its first album. AVALON BLOOM: Rock & Post-punk After two sold-out shows at Rockstore and tours marked by packed venues in Paris, Marseille, Lyon and elsewhere, Avalon Bloom continues its journey on the independent rock scene. Driven by an electrifying live performance that is sensual, fraternal and fiery all at once, the group carries along a young and loyal audience that grows day by day. Driven by an abrasive and deeply felt sound, Avalon Bloom draws as much on the raw energy of The Smashing Pumpkins as on DIIV’s urgent melancholy, the feverish tension of Fontaines D.C., the romantic darkness of Rendez-Vous and the direct intensity of Title Fight. These influences are absorbed and reinvented in the service of a sincere, incandescent and profoundly living universe. Avalon Bloom does not tell stories with a beginning and an end. The group captures sensations, flashes of life and overflowing emotions. Each song captures a suspended moment: the bittersweet tenderness of a final glance, the tender violence of a memory, the feverish quest for an unnamed love. There is something profoundly sensual and electric in their music.
