There is music that will never disappear, as much as it awakens the senses. That of Electric Pyramid is part
of it. It is classic rock, as Americans say: guitars, bass, drums and a singer, a formula
constantly returned to the workbench, in search of the perfect track. If there was a club where Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam,
U2 or the Eagles guarded the door, no doubt they would enter without knocking.
On the mic, Ol Beach. English, he grew up in Switzerland and was headed for a career as a concert pianist, before
choosing to write and sing. He also grew up with Queen, of which his father was manager. So when his
band, barely formed, opened for Queen + Adam Lambert in 2016, from Helsinki to Padua, the loop was closed.
Since then, Electric Pyramid has never missed an opportunity to play: TRNSMT in Glasgow, Summer Sonic in Tokyo
and Osaka, and the Bus Palladium in Paris from 2018. In 2025, they played in some thirty large venues in
France with Queen Extravaganza then The Dire Straits Experience, and sold out Café de la Danse. Then come
Richard Ashcroft at the Zénith de Paris and ZZ Top at the Adidas Arena. "After the Queen, the arena", summarized
GuitarPart.
In the meantime, there was Lion, the second album, produced by John Cornfield (Muse, Oasis, Robert Plant). Ol
misplaced the first master, and had to re-record everything. The record speaks of resilience with "Lions", written for his
daughter, of wonder with "Diorama", and of what remains of us after us with "Land of Ghosts". Rolling
Stone ranked "High Flying Kind" No. 3 on its September 2025 playlist, behind Foo Fighters and Van Morrison.
After a new tour with The Dire Straits Experience this coming December, they will return to basics
in January: ten clubs, a few meters from the audience, including Point Éphémère in Paris, in the sweat and sweet scent
of rock’n’roll. On the program, tracks from previously released albums and some surprise new tracks. Guitars
out front, obviously, because, as Ol says laughing, "in a band, they're always the ones making the rules".
Who is going to complain?
