Van She

They're from Sydney, Australia. They formed in 2005, Van She are that unique beast that one was beginning to believe no longer existed – a band that takes all these influences from days gone but makes them sound unique, modern, and…. fresh.

Thieves Like Us

Thieves Like Us are a Swedish-American trio based in Paris, France. With a true charm, they developed a fresh, romantic aesthetic between a pop, funky, naïve universe à la Hot Chip and the German krautrockscene. As all parties seemed to be mainly soundtracked by electro and techno, they began to DJ, playing old Krautrock, italo disco, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Factory Records stuff, and even new hip-hop. Later on they discovered French filther house and added this to their repertoire.

Sam Sparro

There aren’t many artists able to elevate themselves from the confines of musicianship and into the consciousness of popular culture. There are few that are as creatively talented as they are musically, Sam Sparro is one of the few. Not only a brilliant, multifarious musician that writes, performs, produces and arranges all of his own material, he’s one crazysexycool character too.

I’m just a guy who likes to sing and wear fun clothes, who wants to have a laugh and wants everyone to get along. I want my music to take people out of their own life a bit and make them feel happy and feel that they’re more than what they think they are, whatever that is. The world is not as ordinary as people want you to think it is. If the music can make you forget about your stupid job and your bills and your relationship problems for half an hour, I’m happy with that. SAM SPARRO

Friendly Fires

Friendly Fires is a dancepunk/new wave band which formed in 2006 in St Albans, England. Formed out of the ashes of First Day Back, they formed while still at school, Friendly Fires make razor-sharp post-punk that burns through the memories of all the dismal, skinny jeaned ‘80s revivalists you’ve been hearing these past few years. Sounding brittle, knotty and urgent, Friendly Fires are the real deal.





THANKS TO MY GIRL NOIMNOT. ARRIBA CHILE :)
