Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Using interviews and observations, this article analyzes the practices and meanings of drinking and cannabis use among 32 Finnish non-professional young adult rock musicians, mostly male, in the late 1990s. The practices of drinking and marijuana use are described in certain social contexts, thus showing how substance use and music-making coexist and intertwine. The results illustrate a tight and complex, yet contradictory, connection between music-making and substances. Drinking is experienced as an unavoidable part of amateur band life. The article also presents a brief review of studies of substance use among popular musicians and of research on non-professional rock musicians. Although these two fields have remained relatively separate, it is argued that a closet-connection between them would provide new, more complex insights into the everday life of musicians and into gendered processes in rock music.
