Sadboi Simon: an intimate and visual concert at Cafard’Naüm

Cafard’Naüm opened its walls for a timeless evening. On Tuesday, June 10th, we rented out the venue for a first: Sadboi Simon, a Normandy-based artist who has been living in Remiremont for some time, presented his new set in an intimate circle, in the soft shadow of soundcheck and songs still alive.

A rehearsal-like concert, halfway between practice and confession. Not quite a stage, not quite a living room, but somewhere in between. A rare opportunity to hear the music just before it hits the road.

Sadboi Simon is the solo project of Simon Delguste. His world blends indie rock, dream pop, and lo-fi, driven by synthetic sounds and introspective lyrics. He gently addresses themes like loneliness, generational anxiety, and the passage of time, drawing inspiration from Anglo-Saxon indie rock (2005–2015), bedroom pop, and synthpop.

After several years devoted to writing and production, he revealed his songs in guitar-and-voice format, accompanied by samples and self-made projected videos, for a live set of about an hour. The intimate atmosphere and sincere energy made this concert unique, allowing the audience to discover Simon in a more raw, closer way, and to take the time to connect after the show in the warm kindness of the venue.
