The video for Night Generation... enjoy it friends!
La Fleur Fatale is a psychedelic, power pop & full-on rock band that emerged from the wreckage of one of Sweden’s most promising bands, Planet Superfly. That dysfunctional and psyched-out arrangement came to an end but resulted in a new, glorious, musical dawning with a spectacular sunrise largely due to the arrival of new manager, Papa Bear. His spiritual, inspired and persuasive methods led the musicians to put aside their differences and embark on a psychedelic journey of sound after years of apathy and opiate-induced confrontations.
La Fleur Fatale is both behind and ahead of its time, riding high on the upcoming wave of the psych revival. Their 60s-inspired groove is embraced by the younger generation of today and those who actually saw that original era bloom. “Night Generation” is an album that has a feel of the 60s, but looks toward the future. It was released in Sweden in late 2007 and the single, “Children of Neon Lights”, was heard all over Swedish TV when it was used in the trailer for the launch of a new national station, TV4 Sport.
Following radio support in the US the band was signed to Promoter Missing Beat and invited to support the Electric Prunes on their US tour next summer. Album track, “Straightway Ride”, is included on a compilation album that one of the country’s leading health care providers gives as a gift to patients and clients. David LaFleur says, “Glad we're helping people to heal.”
The album has been subsequently released in Germany, Holland and got worldwide distribution through Cargo Records. La Fleur Fatale toured the UK in July to promote the release of the album there and enjoyed early rave reviews and airplay on XFM, Mark Radcliffe & Stuart Maconie’s BBC Radio 2 show, BBC 6 Music, Express FM and Total Rock Radio.
La Fleur Fatale’s Sunshine Underground and Night Generation are used on the soundtrack of film maker Peter Svensson’s recently released documentary on windsurfing and some of its biggest stars, including Marcilio Browne, Francisco Porcella and Jason Polakow. Svensson has agreed to direct and shoot the video for the band’s next single (the first to be taken from the new album) in spring 2009. See or download the film at www.mistral.com. American Airlines has also just announced that a track off Night Generation will be playlisted on all its in-flight podcasts from October.
As the band’s growing following on MySpace and overwhelmingly positive response from the public and media all over the globe for their debut album, “Night Generation” shows, La Fleur Fatale is blooming beautifully.
