If you like your music multi-lingual then boy are you in for a treat or, indeed, un petit plaisir next week when Berlin-based duo Stereo Total hit town on Saturday 16th. I fell in love with the kooky electro-garage rock-à-billy popstars a few years ago when I discovered an album of theirs that sounded like the B52s mixed with Peaches with a couple of Sugarcubes stirred in. Their “homemade” ironic pop combines French chanson with German electronika, with a euro-linguistic twist, so that on one album you get a song that croons “j’aime l’amour à trois” then a few songs later the same track pops up declaring “I love love with the three of us”! You can listen to some of their new songs on their Myspace page and buy tickets for $30+bf at Slowboat (Cuba St) for next week’s gig at the San Fran Bathhouse.
On 6th August a group drawing show is opening at ROAR! Gallery.
The show features work from artist in residence Yelena Barbalich, as well as 75 other artists.
El Horno on Courtenay Place might suck the big kumara as far as a bar experience might go…
… but… (more after the jump)…
