Soirée this weekend

The next L’Amour Electronique takes place this Saturday at The Penthouse (above The Freebutt), Phoenix Place, Brighton. Join us between 8pm and 1am. Entry is Free. Do come, we will miss you otherwise.

See previous post 22 MARCH 2008 – Setlist and Podcast for a free mix we did last month.
The flyer tells you more…

And here’s a short film Verity made last month
Serge Gainsbourg/Grotesque Animal

This post is dedicated to our poorly-sick Roland ProMars synth, which is now in the capable hands of James at Synth Repair Services.

Fat Truckers – Fix It

The ProMars has led an exciting life. Before joining the Miss Pain arsenal, he was in the service of Billy Mackenzie’s younger brother, who gave him all sorts of weird and wonderful noises to make. That’s a fact, fact fans.

Get well soon ProMars.

Georges day

We’re not particularly patriotic ‘round here…

But we couldn’t go through St George’s Day without paying tribute to San Giorgio

So as you probably know he invented electro-disco and gave Donna Summer a helping hand with some dirty arpeggiator action on ‘I Feel Love’. He also produced 2 classic albums for Sparks and recorded countless film soundtracks including the ‘Electric Dreams’ OST with Mister Phillip Oakey, which spawned the cheesy synth-pop anthem ‘Together in Electric Dreams’. If you’ve not heard the ‘Electric Dreams’ soundtrack, surprise Verity and request it at L’Amour Electronique on Saturday… ;-}.

Moroder even created a Supercar, in between producing some sleek 70’s electro-disco himself...

Giorgio Moroder – Utopia–Me Giorgio

Something I just discovered on the interweb: Moroder co-wrote (with Michael Holm) a couple of German language hits for France Gall, including this bit of bubblegum from 1970:

France Gall - Mein Herz kann man nicht kaufen

And now, here’s an informative promotional film about the man

BONUS Georges
Yes it’s our favourite, now defunct, Georges from Montreal. We miss you Poney, Bobo & Mingo.

First a slow-burning hammer horror post-punk rattler from their first LP ‘Deux Hot Dogs Moutarde Chou’.

Les Georges Leningrad – Georges V

And here’s a film capturing some live antics:
Les Georges Leningrad – Ennio Morricone


Happy Georges Day

22 MARCH 2008 - Setlist and Podcast

It was something of a battle that night (see previous post J’ai un probleme). Somehow Dom has managed to stick together a podcast from the interrupted sets (it wasn’t easy).

Then there was the idiot monkey-boy who insisted on drumming on the table throughout Dom’s first set. This got to be rather an irritation, and drastic action in the form of a percussion-less Messiaen organ piece soon put a stop to it…
