Neon Neon - Stage Of The Art

Just came back from a very very refreshing show: Neon Neon. Thanks to Stage Of The Art and The Palais de Tokyo who already allowed me to attend last April to an amazing Aidan Moffat performance (LS/2008/03).
In few words, Neon Neon is a neo Disco-Pop-Electro project created by two geniuses Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals) and Boom Bip. They just released an album full of hits, Stainless Style (Lex), their first one, which is already one of the most rejoicing albums of the year with MGMT, in that specific style of course. To be convinced, I only had to watch the audience during the show, every face were showing smiles, including me... It was also the first Neon Neon live show in France.
S.C.U.M opened the evening with a very freaky and scary act. But I’m not against once in a while, 25 minutes were just enough to make me satisfied with the sound they proposed, but not more.
