Anyone who has seen Sebastien in action will know that his live performances are truly legendary - and the rumour is that he has a very special entrance planned for this!

So tune in and VOTE VOTE VOTE .... for the best musical entrant since Abba's Waterloo! "The best Eurovision entrant since Abba's Waterloo - the song is a frothy, fun-tabulous Beach Boys homage" Sunday Times Culture

"Tellier is part of the modern musical world, not the showbiz time capsule that is Eurovision, and his appearance couldwell be a watershed moment...." Sunday Times Culture

Check out this hilarious video too, filmed at the Eurovision 2008 pre-party earlier this week, where Seb may or may not have been having some serious time at the open bar. Keep an eye out for his interview around the 5:30 mark: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qa1TRRuc5g

Sebastien has also just confirmed the first live date of his full national tour in the UK at Shepherds Bush Empire on 2nd October -recent live shows at The Scala and ICA were both sold out performances so demand will be extremely high. Ticket Link on the right.

He will also be taking his unique electronic pop sound out on the road this Summer and will appear at the following.

Sebastien Tellier digitally releases his fantastic new single 'DIVINE' today(ish) - Monday 19th May - a supremely uplifting slice of electro-funk brilliance, and the second single to be taken from his recent widely acclaimed studio album 'Sexuality'. 7" and 12" vinyl formats are following next week - these are super limited so move fast here.

It's a perfect soundtrack to the Summer with ridiculously catchy beach-boy esque harmonies that's been getting big Radio 1 plays off Jo Whiley.

Finally, this week only Amazon has a special deal where you purchase Sexuality for a bargain of only £6.98! Check it!

Gotye - Hoxton Sold Out / New Date Added
1.05.08

We're extremely pleased to announce that Gotye’s show at Hoxton Bar and Grill on Weds 14th May has sold out. Hence, instead of the previously scheduled support show at Monto Water Rats on Mon 12th May he will instead play another headlining show - this time at The Metro, Oxford Street. Again, we are expecting this show to sell out pretty quickly. So please be quick if you want to come along. Hope to see you there! You can buy tickets here

Gotye - Our New Signing
22.04.08

Gotye (pronounced Gaultier - like Jean Paul) is a one-man indie success story, a Beck-style sample magpie and a huge-hearted songwriter. Acting as his own manager, plugger and record label while working in a library by day, Belgium-born Gotye has won a plethora of prestigious awards in his adopted home of Australia. He has won both the Australian equivalent of the Mercury Music Award (the AMP) and a BRIT Award (the ARIA for Best Male Artist), in 2007. ‘Hearts A Mess’, which we’ll be putting out as his debut UK single next month, was also voted ‘Track of the Year’ by the listeners of Australia’s equivalent to Radio One.

Check out our first bit of UK press from those ever-on-the-ball peeps at The Guardian HERE.

Oh, and we must mention the already multi-award-winning video. If you’ve not yet seen it then do yourself a BIG favour and check it out HERE. Truly breathtaking stuff, folks.

And last but definitely not least we’re also pleased to inform you of Gotye’s first-ever European tour dates! First he’ll be stopping by his native Belgium before coming over to the UK for dates in London and at the Great Escape festival in Brighton. Dates, ahoy:

07 May 2008: Les Nuits Botanique with Jamie Lidell - Brussels
12 May 2008: Monto Water Rats - London
14 May 2008: Hoxton Bar and Grill (headline show) - London
15 May 2008: The Great Escape Festival - Brighton
17 May 2008: The Great Escape Festival - Brighton

Tickets for the Hoxton show are available HERE, and you can still get your Great Escape tickets at the festival's website HERE

Sebastien Tellier - Divine Eurovision Scala
21.04.08

Sebastien’s second single off ‘Sexuality’ is ‘Divine’, which will be released May 19^th and comes backed with some seriously excellent remixes courtesy of Midnight Juggernauts and Danger and another fantastic sleeve design courtesy of Manu Cossu. Vinyl formats are strictly limited so we suggest you click on the links to the right quick sharp. Factor in an extensive European tour and the still brilliantly bonkers fact that he’ll be representing France at Eurovision 2008 in Belgrade May 24^th, and it’s readily apparent that everyone’s favorite Frenchman has got one hell of a Spring ahead of him. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, we’d be remiss in neglecting to mention Tellier’s return to London later this month when he takes over the Scala on April 28^th, this time with support from the lovely Lykke Li and up-and-comer Bridgette Amofah. Sadly for those of you who haven't yet secured tickets, this one's already sold out, but what did you expect? Dude is completely on fire.

Seventeen Evergreen - Encyclopedia Pictura
18.04.08

Our favourite Californian electronic/rock pop duo, Seventeen Evergreen, are currently holed up in a cabin somewhere in the verdant hills of California, hard at work on their second album. A bit too early to report on that front yet, but you may remember them teaming up with a then-unknown art/video directing duo called Encylcopedia Pictura way back when on their debut video for ‘Haven’t Been Yourself’ and also on their much admired artwork for their album etc. Well, the Encyclopedia boys are all grown up now and recently debuted their awe-inspiring and deservedly uber-hyped new video for Bjork’s ‘Wanderlust’ (to be formally released with 3D goggles soon, no less) to universal critical acclaim. What’s not terribly well-known, however, is that the EP collective also put together a number of short clips to accompany Seventeen Evergreen’s live shows. Although said clips were previously unavailable for viewing outside of the confines of the venues graced by the band over the last year or so - now, for the first time, we’re pleased to announce that these clips can be viewed via the all powerful YouTube. Please check out the individual links below as each and every video is superb or watch all of the bands videos in one session here

"Sufferbus"
"Andromedan Dream of an Octaroon"
"Sazerac"
"Constellation"
"Burn The Fruit"
"Atlas"

Sebastien Tellier will be preceding his sold out show at the ICA, London on Thursday 21st February with a special in-store performance at Rough Trade East at 7PM Wednesday 20th February.
