After the Xmas song, we now have written our first World Cup Song. it’s called “WC baby” or “World Cup” and it’s available here through the We Want 2 Wigoler (wigoler, is rigoler with a w, which means “have a laugh”) blog. This tuesday at Le Motel (Paris), we’ll celebrate the release of the 10”inch vinyl, the games, the coming of summer etc. by performing our song. Some bands involved (Fugu, WHEEL, Lecube…) will perform too! it’s fun and it’s cheap.

Crack up For Amnesty International

Hey!

Did you know there was a new T80 song available online?

we recorded “Crack Up” (an A.R Kane cover) for Buffetlibre DJ’s who’ve been producing a HUGE compilation for Amnesty International. Our song has been given out to blogs around the world but you can also get the whole package on their website. it’s for a good cause, so…

love,

News from the Lab

Helloo,

We’re almost there, putting the final touches to the songs for our #5 album. It’s too early to describe it (and I’d love to avoid the usual promo crap “our best album to date” “we took risks” etc…) but I guess that it will be quite different from what we’ve done so far. New dynamics, new themes, new grooves…It’s also definitely the first album we do as a six piece, and the 2nd since Puzzle that we do on an indie label. I’m pretty sure it will color the final results. What next? the music will remain in Rouen for a while before traveling to the West Coast of the USA, to the North of Europe and to the fashion capital…waouh, now that’s what I call teasing people!
