2nd Hour
The band is renowned for their highly charged, sweat-inducing live shows. They’ve played in Paris, La Rochelle, London, Ljubljana (Slovenia), Canada, and across the US, occasionally touring with friends/labelmates Hello Stranger. In autumn 2008, they stormed the German-Polish border, playing a Green Party fête where Daniel Cohn-Bendit (aka “Dany le Rouge”), one of the leaders of the May 1968 student protests in France, danced his ass off (photographic evidence available).
Ménagerie (Aeronaut Records), their second album, was recorded over roughly a one-year period in New York, Paris, Los Angeles and Sacramento. Its title is a nod to the various friends who contributed to the recording sessions, including LA-based composer/producer Michael Andrews (Donnie Darko, Inara George, Brendan Benson, etc.) and drummer Joachim Cooder (Buena Vista Social Club, Hello Stranger).
The album was produced by Dan Crane (aka Björn Türoque, of Air Guitar Nation fame) who also produced their 2006 debut.
With their latest release, Nous Non Plus builds on their 60’s French pop influences to explore a new sonic landscape—mixing Moog synthesizers with string sections, horns with distorted guitars. Imagine Gainsbourg and Bardot as 21st-century indie rockers: elegant, sexy, chic, multi-lingual.
