Tight and accomplished, La Femme open the series with a night of psychedelia, surf rock, electronica, and plenty of sass.īrit Award nominees for Best International Group, LA-based trio Gabriels join the bill on Friday 7 July with their dazzling vision of spiritual soul-pop. The psych-punk band – formed in Biarritz by keyboard player Marlon Magnée and guitarist Sasha Got – shot to acclaim when they booked a US tour despite only having one EP.
