About Me

ALL THE POLKA DOT BANDITS EP OUT NOW All The Polka Dot Bandits EP (Goodnight Joe / All The Polka Dot Bandits / Pop Art Blues / Shelagh Is A Mod / We Are Beautiful) ORDER/COMMANDER: 4 euros (delivery charge included / frais de livraison compris)....just click on the button below! un simple clic sur le bouton dessous! ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------------" The Existentialists would like to have you all as friends. As the Spice Girls once said, "friendship never ends". The Existentialists love their friends and hate their ennemies. Their ennemies hate them in return but The Existentialists deserve it: they're stuck-up, self-obsessed little wankers who haven't got a clue about who Jean-Paul Sartre is. Jean Paul Sartre hates The Existentialists but they just don't give a fuck, they're far too busy writing love letters to Ringo Starr (who won't replied). Talking about this Liverpool's beloved child, the four Popes of Pop once sang "all you need is love". God knows how much The Existentialists would like to make love to you but, the thing is, they are way too shy." ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- The Existentialists are a Lo-fi Mod/Punk band from Toulouse, France, born on a midsummer’s night in 2006 when 60s lover Jimmy, 24 (now 26!), obsessed with the likes of The Who, Creation, Syd Barrett and The Velvet Underground, decided to record and perform his own songs. Now consisting of a varying line-up of like-minded friends, The Existentialists play a brand of ramshackle, 60s-flavored indie pop influenced by the DIY spirit of various artists such as Television Personalities, Beat Happening, Daniel Johnston and Jeffrey Lewis. And for those who might give a fuck, let it be said that the Existentialists despise cynicism, eat hamburgers, watch ace british sitcom "Black Books", often forget the names of people they meet (sorry about that) and, most of all, got traumatized after finding out Jimmy was born on the very same day as Britney Spears (December 2nd 1981)------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------lu quelque part sur le web: « The Existentialists flirtent allegrement avec le son ‘Mod’, la Lo-Fi et le Punk. Le resultat : une indie-pop délabrée qui fait de l’oeil aux 60s et qui s’inspire de la maniere DIY de mener sa barque, une façon artisanale de construire des morceaux faits de bric et de broc »---------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------...then learn a fourth chord, please, for Lou Reed's sake!YOUR WICKED DREAMSWE'LL SEE YOU IN THE MOVIES The Existentialists-Cri de la Mouette-27.01.2007
