Spirit of Eden

So we’re back, after a long spell over Xmas and New Year holidays. It’s time to wish you all the best for 2012, hoping on our side that this SOE festival will definitely happen this year ! Nothing too sure yet, as we still need to find financial back-up and this is not easy at the moment…
Anyway, we’re proud to announce that there still will be three ‘special nights’ on February 24/25/26, with three exclusive acts scheduled at the festival, in three unique venues in the West of France :
- Friday 24/02 : TOURS - Le Temps Machine
- Saturday 25/02 : NANTES - Lieu Unique
- Sunday 26/02 : BORDEAUX - IBoat (teatime party at 6.00 PM)

We’ve already posted on SLIME and MONEY - two big UK hopes for 2012 - but we’re particularly proud to say that on this occasion, Will Archer aka Slime will perform his very first gigs with a band and this is not to be missed. For any true music lover, is there anything more exciting and memorable than ‘being there’ at the early stage of a great new artist ?
Money -Letter To Yesterday (non official video but what a great song)

The third one comes from Brooklyn and is one of the latest signing of DFA Records. Well, FALL ON YOUR SWORD is LCD Soundsystem guitarist Phil Mossman’s project with two other pals… As the videos below can indicate, FOYS is quite different to the rest of DFA’s releases. It’s still electro, pop and danceable but very witty and tongue-in-cheek as well. A track like ‘I Might Be Gay’ reminds us of a time when pop tunes used to really matter ! Entertaining tunes with a message…and we need this so badly these days ! For those february dates, FOYS will be in a dj set mode, with Phil and Will Bates only, but we still can expect a sort of live performance, where they’ll be mixing their own tracks with some of their remixes, the whole set being illustrated by their own great videos, often diverting classic film footage.
FOYS’ latest single… A special dedication to football hooligans and Clockwork Orange.

And a previous single with Captain Kirk…
