So Frenchy So Chic Australian Tour (Perth)

Featuring: Emilie Simon and Melanie Pain (Nouvelle Vague)

Lovers of sophisticated pop, intriguing melody and all things French will be delighted to hear that So Frenchy So Chic artists Emilie Simon and Melanie Pain will be gracing the Rosemount Hotel on Sunday, October 3.

This double-header promises to showcase both artists effervescent, engaging and offbeat take on contemporary pop, as both Emilie and Melanie take to the stage with their Gallic backing ensembles.

Emilie Simon, the artist who makes every song an adventure, will be showcasing her third album, The Big Machine, which was written and recorded after she moved to New York. The breathtaking result is a collection of rich and sensual songs featuring musicians like Kelly Pratt and Jeremy Gara of Arcade Fire, as well as Beirut’s John Natchez.

If Melanie Pain were to sing the phone book, she’d make it sexy purely on conviction. Best known as the lead singer of the French band Nouvelle Vague, Pain seduced audiences with her breathy renditions of ’80s pop. Her romantically-tinged solo album, My Name, draws on influences such as Nick Cave, Harry Nilsson and Leonard Cohen, but audiences will also hear Pain’s love for American folk and pop intertwined with chanson.

This beautifully matched double-header tour promises an intimate evening from two brilliant and well-travelled singer songwriters who have featured on one of Australia’s most popular compilations.
