NEW GOLD DREAMS - Listen to this! "Noblesse Oblige"
Noblesse Oblige invite you into their exotic world of mysticism and new wave melancholy. From their intoxicatingly provocative live performances, to their unique recordings; this raw art duo commands feverish tribal sounds and acoustically grounded electro-fusion, and stitch them to their theatrical backbone of visceral pop, voodoo musings and eerie sparse electronics. Embark on a hypnotic journey into the dark temptations of the heart!
Noblesse Oblige was formed in London by French actress Valerie Renay and German producer Sebastian Lee Philipp. Their debut album Privilege Entails Responsibility includes "Bitch" and "Daddy, Don't Touch Me There", now classics of the Independent Electro underground scene. After moving to Berlin in 2007, the band released their second album In Exile, winning an endorsement by the German ministry of Culture and the Russian Steppenwolf Music award. Their third album Malady is the conclusion of an exploration of the occult. The dark temptations of the heart expressed in the album's eerie tales of voodoo gods, soul electrification, witchcraft, and tropical fevers are underlined by the band's use of exotic instruments, electronic beats, and tribal percussions, mixed with their traditional blend of melodic kitsch and new wave theatricality. Noblesse Oblige have performed their raw, dramatic and visually striking live shows throughout Europe and South America.
Besides her work as half of Noblesse Oblige, Valerie is a trained actress (aka Femme Facade) directing, writing and performing her own work and appearing at Performance & Art Festivals around the world.
Sebastian is a music producer with his own Berlin based studio in which he records and produces artists and writes film soundtracks. He also releases music as half of Der Räuber und der Prinz.

NEW GOLD DREAMS - Bienvenue Super Pop Corn! La nouveax band fantasme les 80's (et Telex aussi)
Super Pop Corn fantasme les 80's pour les rendre élégantes et faire danser les filles avec des synthés, boites à rythmes, et autres batteries électroniques vintage. Mais Super Pop Corn n’est pas le rejeton de Début de Soirée ou d'Image: C'est dans les 80’s version Electro de Human League, Jacno ou Dépêche mode et la Pop New Wave de Telex ou the Buggles que l'electro duo composé de Julien Mayerus (Chant, Basses, Guitare et Claviers) et de Nicolas Boquet (Batteries et Drums machines) va puiser son inspiration.Grace à sa collaboration avec Jacques Le Honsec (ex-chanteur de Goût de Luxe, groupe Gothico New-Wave des années 80...) qui, séduit par le projet, dépoussière ses synthés et impose une production où aucun instrument ayant été créé après 1989 n’est admis, Super Pop Corn prend la forme d’un Ovni Electro-Pop intemporel, furieusement dansant et qui ne choisit jamais entre la dérision et le sérieux.

LET'S TOUR - Gentlemen say "sorry"...Rinviato il tour di David Sylvian
(ANSA) - ROMA, 31 GEN - ''Con profonda tristezza siamo costretti a comunicare che David Sylvian non potra' sostenere il tour europeo previsto in Marzo e Aprile 2012''. Cosi' scrive il management dell'artista, atteso in Italia proprio per le date di debutto il 1 Marzo a Padova, il 2 a Milano, il 4 marzo a Roma presso l'Auditorium Parco della Musica e il 5 a Bologna. David Sylvian ha subito un infortunio alla schiena che e' causa di forte dolore e limita sostanzialmente la sua mobilita'. Di conseguenza - spiega lo staff - al momento e' impensabile che possa viaggiare o esibirsi in alcun modo ed e' stato cancellato tutto il suo Implausible Beauty 2012. David Sylvian in persona ha inviato una nota ai fan tramite il proprio sito ufficiale davidsylvian.com: ''Questo e' il messaggio che non avrei mai voluto scrivere. A meno che la memoria non mi inganni, non mi e' mai capitato in tutta la mia vita di dovermi sottrarre completamente all'impegno di un tour. Tutte le persone coinvolte mi hanno sommerso di messaggi generosi e amorevoli, che mi augurano di rimettermi presto in salute, il che per me e' la testimonianza di quanto meravigliose sono le persone con le quali lavoro. Le mie scuse piu' sincere e gratitudine infinita vanno anche a chi aveva comprato i biglietti per i concerti, sembra siate molti piu' di quanto avrei potuto immaginare. Al momento mi sto sottoponendo a esami e cure e, se tutto va bene, spero di potere annunciare quanto prima che il tour sara' riprogrammato entro i prossimi mesi del 2012. Se c'e' un aspetto positivo in questa storia e' che, con piu' tempo per prepararlo, lo spettacolo alla fine sara' eccezionale''.

Memories fade
"Memories fade but the scars still linger,
I cannot grow,
I cannot move,
I cannot fell my age,
The vice like grip of tension holds me fast,
Engulfed by you,
What can I do,
When history’s my cage...
Look foward to a future in the past".
