« Don’t kill the cow » est un groupe de musique indie, créé en 2016. Nous sommes un groupe franco-suisse composé de quatre membres âgés de 20 à 23 ans. Après quelques concerts, l’envie de s’investir pleinement dans une carrière musicale nous est rapidement venue. Nos créations artistiques sont influencées par le grunge, le rock, le blues, le folk et le métal. Comme nous ne voulons pas nous limiter à un style, nous nous laissons la liberté de jouer ce qu’y nous plait. Le plus important pour nous est d’aimer ce que nous faisons et de nous amuser ensemble.
Our start
It all started in our music school called « Groove Guitare ». We were all playing in the same music class. At the beginning, we only played covers like Pixies, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana and many others. Over time, the four of us just wanted to get further. We had the desire to be independent. So we left our music school in 2016 and found our current music local. This was a big step for all of us, whether for our music or our own experience. We learned a lot. We learned how to handle ourselves to be productive and to compose together. In short, we learned how to manage a band by our own…

Our experiences
During these past three years we had many opportunities to play live. We played many times in bars, sometimes for private events. We participated in a few springboards like “Vaches Folks” or the international contest called “Music city tour”. Every year, we take part in the “Fête de la musique” on June 21st. It’s always a joy to be part of this event. We also had concerts in festivals like “Versoleo”, “Châto-Bruyant”, “Festival Tôt Ou T’Art” or the “Pop rock festival”.
About music
One of our priorities is composition, it’s the best way for us to define ourselves as artists… We compose intuitively, often one of us suggests a bass line or a guitar riff and we start from there. We jam for a while and then we look at what works and what doesn’t work. Then we structure and think about what inspires us in the music. Sometimes we have a project or a style in mind and we start from there to compose. Through our lyrics we transmit stories, emotions or values (poverty, love, ecology…) We really enjoy playing our music.
