Bon Jour Au Revior Simone
















Kudu, Ratatat, and Au Revior Simone have a couple things in common. One: New York, Brooklyn/ Williamsburg in particular. Two: they are kinda marvelous!! Well I am happy to tip you off that Au Revior Simone will be performing at The Troubadour this Friday January 25, 2008. Tickets are $12 in advance and doors open at 8pm. I am excited to go to this show as I came across this band and have been digging them ever since. Here is a small write up of the group from Julian Hooper:


Named after a hilariously unforgettable scene in Tim Burton's Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Brooklyn girl-band Au Revoir Simone sing serious pop harmonies with electro-synth spunk. The Williamsburg women's ethereal tunes have earned considerable critical love of late (David Lynch listed them as his favorite new band of 2007). Tonight, at the tail end of a minitour that bounced them around the country, ARS blaze a trail to the Troubadour stage for some surreal chick rock, including tunes from their second album, The Bird of Music.

Over the last few weeks when out driving I have come across a couple galleries that are a bit more one off than the all known LACMA & MOCA. I encourage you all to check out these along with other galleries that exhibit and support fresh up and coming talent as well as those local faves we already adore..explore the unknown and unfamiliar, it can turn out to be good for you.

..and your colored tights! Isn't it funny how great minds think a like. The A-LIST does this freakishly frequently. The other nite the gals ventured out for a nite on the town. And to our surprise we came to realize that we were all dressed within the same color schemes and beyond that we were all in tights. Unplanned, mind you, we promise!
