Sun 20th Live Nation presents AU REVOIR SIMONE + Slow Club + We Are Marching On
Doors 7.30 The Brooklyn indie pop outfit Au Revoir Simone features Heather D'Angelo (vocals/drum machine/keyboard), Erika Forster (vocals/keyboard), and Annie Hart (vocals/keyboard). Borrowing their name from a minor character in Tim Burton's comedy favorite Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, the Casio-centric group came together in late 2003; Forster and Hart befriended one another while traveling by train from Vermont to New York. From there, they became fast friends and began writing songs. D'Angelo and Sung Bin Park (keyboard/vocals) were added to the dreamy pop fray after sitting in on many practice sessions, but Park left in January 2005 to pursue other projects. A year later, Au Revoir Simone issued their debut album, 'Verses of Comfort, Assurance & Salvation'. It was self-released in the United States and appeared on Moshi Moshi throughout Europe. 'Through the Backyards was included in the season finale to Grey's Anatomy in the Spring of 2006. Main support are Slow Club and, in Slow Club's own words; I am Charles I like chocolate covered peanuts. I play guitar and move my lips to a backing track. I am Rebecca I love tea and cake, anything can be solved with a cup of tea and a piece of cake, I play a rhythm station, its mega. And I sing with my mouth. We are Slow Club. We met after the millennium, in a garden with fences, but have been travelling as our two man band bonanza since September 2006. In this period instruments have come and gone. Some even made their way back. Still trying to find a place for Miles the friendly organ. He just can’t seem to get his act together and stay in tune though. We tell stories with our voices and put them to music with a guitar and drums and spoons and chairs and anything that you can hit with a stick. We didn’t have traumatic childhoods that we want the world to know about. We just like to do things that make us happy, and it's great if it makes you happy too. And even better if makes you dance. Opening are We Are Marching On. Singing with bass, keyboard, drums and guitar, the four boys of WAMO find great joy playing with parts and bringing shit to life. Rock, Pop and Experimental permutations coalesce into a sound that welcomes anyone and everyone to join in.
"What this band lacks in meaning on paper they make up for in sound." [Exclaim]
