New album 𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐃 out now: http://tristessecontemporaine.lnk.to/UNITED

TRISTESSE CONTEMPORAINE : Leo, Narumi and Mike.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE BASS.

We will always have that fantastic feeling inside us of hearing that bass getting louder and louder as we are carried closer and closer to the heart of our favourite dance floor.
We will always have in our minds that bass line of that rock song that will stay with us for all our lives, Peter Hook, Simon Gallup, Mani...You name it.
Tristesse Contemporaine is glued together by three adopted Parisians, a Japanese girl and two guys, one British, one Swedish.
Raw, desperate and hypnotic energy engulfed by memories of Shoegazer and Krautrock.
The trio flirt in the shadows of Suicide with catchy melodies and synth-pop, held together by that androgynous voice, suspended on the razor's edge of that beautiful vintage bass.

Romantic and flamboyant, arrogant and haunting, their first album imagines a world in chiaroscuro, where the electrical illuminations of shoegazing merge with electronic beats, with a heightened new wave sensitivity.
Climb to the dark side of modern pop as you enter the fractured, hypnotic, dance of Tristesse Contemporaine.

My new single ‘Goodbye Never Felt So Bad’ is out now ♥️  https://jamesbay.komi.io/

A sultry and sweet pair. Paige Wood and Steven Dies.   Formed in California but existing elsewhere. Crispy velvet-dipped pieces of psychedelic doo-wop soul, electric riff country and interstellar outlaw jazz.

Together they have aggregated their influences and landed between genres, citing inspiration from artists like PJ Harvey, Gary Numan, Nancy Sinatra, The Cramps, Lee Hazelwood, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Led Zeppelin, DEVO, and Portishead. The Peach Kings live in a sweet spot between the polish and the dirt, the glide and the swagger, the analog and the digital.

In 2014, Gold Coast six-piece FAIRCHILD began a series of pre-production sessions, with each band member contributing ideas, unhindered by genre expectations. FAIRCHILD worked individually and in small groups, at times swapping instruments, sharing half-baked riffs, beats, bites and grooves during an exacting four-month period of brainstorming and noticed parallels between their recordings and the songs of the 80s bands they’d always loved.

By early 2015, FAIRCHILD began recording what would become their debut album under producer/mixer Catherine Marks (Foals, Wolf Alice, Alex Lahey). The band then packed their bags and moved halfway across the world to Manchester, UK. A city in which they had no following, no homes and no source of income - in order to shake up their senses and focus on touring, performing and finishing their record.

After two years, FAIRCHILD returned home and released their debut album ‘So Long and Thank You’ on August 4th, 2017 - a collection of songs that traces their experiences from Australia to the UK, and back again.

In the lead up, FAIRCHILD released three EPs and multiple singles, with ‘Relevance’ and ‘Start Again’ entering the Spotify Viral 50 and FMQB SubModern Charts in the US, respectively. The band has toured Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and North America, playing showcases at Canadian Music Week and Music Matters Live. During their stay in the UK, FAIRCHILD embarked on a nation-wide tour with MOTHXR, supported The Human League on their ‘A Very British Synthesizer’ arena shows and opened for US rockers MUTEMATH on the European leg of their 'Vitals' tour.

Currently spread across the world in various locations, FAIRCHILD released new single ‘I Said’ on April 30th, 2020 - along with a bunch of older material to commemorate 10 years as a band. During this time, they've supported a whole range of bands locally - including Red Riders, Neon Indian, Cassette Kids, The Medics, Northeast Party House, Parachute Youth, Cub Sport, Battleships, Nantes, Canyons and played at the Gold Coast Big Day Out.
