Karl Lagerfeld had Vive la Fete play at his presentation of the Fall 2002 Chanel collection in Paris. Quite the fashion imprimateur for this little pop band. But they deserve the spotlight. Their mix of Gainsbourg-esque French and 80's new wave synth pop is super cool. If you like Air, Blondie, Human League or the Cars, chances are you will dig this. Just listen with tons of attitude. P.S. They made their US debut in Las Vegas recently, reprising their Chanel performance at a fashion show for Neiman Marcus.

No track listing? I will save you the effort of googling it.

Trust me, they sing better in French than they do in English...listen to the song "Vive Le Rappinghood" (a B-Side from one of their singles) & you'll know that perhaps English should not be the universal language.

C'est vraiment belle! Groovy Jazzy Funky!

Vive la fête is a Belgian band (Danny Mommens=bassist of dEUS, a fabulous rockband + Els Pynoo=Dannys girlfriend). They make funny pop songs with a beat. In french. With new-wave influences. pretty good cd!
