Valerie (France), Anoraak, Russ Chimes + 33Hz Live (Event Over)

The Valerie Collective – New York Debut at Webster Hall on Friday January 23

Featuring: Anoraak, College, Russ Chimes, Lovelock - With JDH & Dave P
Plus 33Hz Record Release Party & Live Performance

On Friday January 23rd, GBH presents a night at Webster Hall with a distinctly French flavor…

The Valerie Collective is not just a music blog - it is a group of like-minded DJs and musicians  from West France that fuse authentic 80s synths with modern indie/electronica. They sound like Daft Punk doing an '80s movie soundtrack... their tracks are startling in their consistency, mood and feel; they offer a sense of a time that never existed, but we all somehow understand… a future that once seemed possible. Their retro/futuristic artwork (by The Zonders) sums it up nicely.
There are several artists under the collective's umbrella, (including College , Anoraak , Russ Chimes and Lovelock – all of whom will be performing). This will be their first time in the US - and the buzz is out.

Brooklyn’s 33Hz (who have been rocking NY for a while now with their glossy blend of disco, r&b, electro and hip-hop) will be hosting their record release party and playing a full live show in the basement Studio room on the same night. These guys have a strong following in France – which is probably why the influential French blog ‘ Fluokids’ selected them as one of the first artists to be released on their new record label – Fool House Records. The E.P. is out this month (Jan 20) – and it features two new tracks: ‘I Feel Alive’ and ‘Sentinel of Love’ – with remixes by The Shoes, Boombass of Cassius, Eli Escobar, and a host of other top producers. All this activity comes hot on the heels of 33Hz’s excellent remixes for Duran Duran and The Teenagers –   which you can hear on their myspace page.

US Royalty will also be playing live (come early to see them, they go on at 10.30 sharp).

Plus there will be a lot more going on... the indie-hipster  Trash! party will be happening downstairs in the Studio and the excellent  Alaska in Winter will be playing an early live set. Dimitry!!! (High Voltage) will be spinning party tunes and classics in the Marlin Room,  And you can expect to see JDH and Dave P (of Fixed) opening for the Valerie Collective in the Grand Ballroom. And there will be drinks specials.
