Free Fridays: Valerie Launch Party @ Cargo, 19/06/2009
For more info, click on flyer.
The Valerie Collective is not just a music
blog – it is a group of like-minded DJs and musicians from the West of France
that fuse authentic 80s synths with modern indie/electronica. They sound like
Daft Punk doing an ’80s movie soundtrack… their tracks are startling in their
consistency, mood and feel; they offer a sense of a time that never existed,
but we all somehow understand… a future that once seemed possible. Their
retro/futuristic artwork (by The Zonders) sums it up nicely. There are several
artists under the collective’s umbrella, (including College, Anoraak and Russ Chimes – all of whom will be
performing, plus their friends Fear of
Tigers). This will be official launch party for their eagerly awaited
first compilation – and the buzz is out.
LIVE: RUSS CHIMES + ANORAAK + FEAR OF TIGERS + TESLA BOYS
