French Flair



Bed Supperclub and Grey Goose Vodka Present tHe pEneLOpe[s] (FRENCH FLAIR) Organized by the French Embassy in Thailand and Alliance Francaise, French cultural festival "La Fete" and in particular the electronic music portion of this series of events known as "French Flair", is an eagerly anticipated element of Thailand's clubbing calendar.

BED SUPPERCLUB is honored to be the host of this year's French Flair as it celebrates its fourth edition in 2007. This year's crop of prominent DJ's and producers of the French electro scene descending on Bangkok include: tHe pEneLOpe[s]

A Franco-Finnish duo based in Paris and the authors of a decadent and theatrical electro-pop, tHe pEneLOpe[s] give new relevance to a sound too often neglected on the dancefloor: a music that is brutal, bright, and existential. Refusing to choose between electronic and rock, theirs is a deliberately elusive attitude. With their intense and incendiary live performances tHe pEneLOpe[s], have caused a storm in Parisian arts circles and count local luminaries such as author Regis Clinquart and designer Agnes b. amongst their biggest fans. Their concerts adhere to a tradition close to cabaret, to create a melodramatic, aggravated, but dance stage-setting of the human passions. Their unforgettable performances have indelibly marked many at Rex club, Dour, Culture Club, Sonar festival, Human League's aftershow, The Loft / Razzmatazz and South America's festivals...
