CATE LE BON

Event information

CATE LE BON
Following hot on the reels of a sell out Cassette only print, Irony Bored Records [& Tapes] released Le bon's magnificent debut album Me Oh My! to ubiquitous praise. A new force in song craft, she grew up in Cardiff’s infamous French quarter and befitting a songwriter who only writes in the dark, this album is a heady and highly personal Gallic stew of equal parts Nico, Malkmus and the chronicler’s own emotional observations on the impossibility of existence http://www.myspace.com/catelebon

Bobby Gentry and Nico fight over a Casio keyboard. Melody wins - GRUFF RHYS

If you told me this record was 30 years old - I'd probably offer you £100 for it - ANDY VOTEL

angelic folkster with a sweet tooth for the off kilter - NME

a quiet charm and elegance that’s rare - GUARDIAN

blessed with a unique line in imagery, and a ramshackle innocence - INDEPENDENT

DJs Dadrock & Fitzrovian Knight will be on hand to light the way and answer any questions.

TRASHROVIAN PHONOTHETICS the cosmic sounds of two mighty labels super-colliding. While eggheads at the Fitzrovian Phonographic society trained theirtelescopes at the outer reaches of the universe, hardhats at Trash Aesthetics have been getting spooked-out digging in the foundations of popular culture. They¹ve come together to share their findings.
