They call themselves "prisoners of gravity". Lend your ear to Isaac Delusion, one of the best Indie groups of France, tonight
Spontaneous and space-y, Isaac Delusion plays at Blue Frog tonight to sedate you into the “sleepwalking” zone with a mix of Pop, Electronic, Funk, Hip-Hop loops and what not.u00a0A complete antithesis to the humdrum of the city, their funky music aims to transport you to your own land of lotus-eaters.

He tells us that gravity doesn’t exist so it’s a delusion of Isaac Newton.
He adds, “If you listen to our music, it will feel like space.” For more reasons to get zoned out this evening, Luce tells us, “I am beautiful. You should come and watch me.”u00a0
