Le super-groupe de rock indé The Hard Quartet réunit Stephen Malkmus de Pavement, Matt Sweeney de Chavez (et auteur de l’album Superwolves), Jim White de Dirty Three et Emmett Kelly (de Ty Segall), qui a collaboré avec Bonnie Prince Billy. Il sera à l’AB Club pour un concert unique ; l’occasion de découvrir en live leur premier album acclamé, sorti au début de l’automne sur le label américain Matador. 
“On its self-titled debut, the quartet cracks open the rock’n’roll canon to rebuild it in its communal, irreverent image….The record traverses prog-rock epics, spit-shined power pop, gnarled punk, and baroque folk, flexing the vocal and instrumental personalities each member has developed over decades of road-tested rock…. The Hard Quartet beats with an insatiable hunger to grow in new directions, rather than retread the past.” - Pitchfork
“Rather than being a cosy back-slapping exercise, these veterans have brought the best out of each other.” - The Guardian
