LE VOLUME COURBE
Le Volume Courbe (French for 'The Volume Curve') is the band helmed by Charlotte Marionneau inspired by the do-your-own-thing ethos of Nico, Patti Smith and Yoko Ono. After moving from France to London Charlotte Marionneau began composing and making tracks, receiving vital encouragement from musicians like Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval and David Roback, My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields and Colm O'Ciosoig, all of whom contributed to her record 'I Killed My Best Friend'. Most of which was recorded at home - a lo-fi punk record in attitude rather than in musical style. "A strange, otherworldly concoction of sounds filled with fragile vocals and haphazard guitars, flowing like an enchanting and elusive diary of dreams." (Forced Exposure)
Le Volume Courbe’s “Theodaurus Rex” EP was was released on the 7th November 2011 through Pickpocket Records. It is the first release on the label formed by Le Volume Courbe’s leader and lynchpin Charlotte Marionneau with Kevin Shields. It includes “I Love The Living You” (featuring Shields), “Born To Lie”, “Lazy”, and an interpretation of the Nico song “Le Petit Chevalier” – which Le Volume Courbe played at their first ever London gig: a Nico tribute show.
LONESOME FRENCH COWBOY & THE ONE
Lonesome French Cowboy and the One are a French band originally from Nantes. Their two members are Federico Pellegrini on guitar and vocals and Eric Pifeteau on drums. They are a stripped down version of French Cowboy who released three albums: “Baby face Nelson was a French Cowboy” (2007), “Share Horses” (2008) (co- written with Lisa Li Lund) , an EP ‘(Isn’t my bedroom’) in November 20009 and (Isn’t My Bedroom) a masterpiece in 2010. Currently they are working on new material and playing live gigs around France. This is their first gig in the UK.
