tHe pEneLOpe(s) at Backstage Live! Thursday, May 15
The pEneLOpe(s) is a Franco-Finnish duo based in Paris. Refusing to choose between electronic and rock, theirs is a deliberately elusive attitude, rather like that of a dandy cultivating the elegance of his aura to probe beyond the superficial coating of people and things. With their intense and incendiary live performances, tHe pEneLOpe(s) have caused a storm in Parisian arts circles and count authors like Regis Clinquart, or the designer Agnes b., among their biggest fans. Their concerts, following in the wake of Morrissey or Nick Cave, adhere to a tradition close to cabaret, to create a melodramatic, aggravated, but dance stage-setting of the human passions. Unforgettable performances that have indelibly marked many at Rex club, Dour, Culture Club, Sonar festival, Human League‘s aftershow, The Loft/Razzmatazz or South America’s festivals.
Musically, tHe pEneLOpe(s), have found the ideal range to depict their universe, mixing guitars and machines, somewhere between primitive constructivism inspired by post-punk (Fiction/Factory/Mute/Beggars Banquet/4AD nebula), synthetic disco, and German electro-tek.
Just recently awarded by Qwartz as the Best Discovery electronic band for 2007 on the album ‘Arrogance of Simplicity’, the Penelope(s) is going stronger than ever. In this Asia Tour they are promoting the re-released of the first album, the edgy and daring duo add unreleased tracks, live version, remixes, and video by Danakil to the already well-received album.
