Vive La Fête is the cutest couple on the scene in quite a few years! It was love at first sight when Danny Mommens, at that time dEUS bassist, and his blonde goddess Els Pynoo first met in 1997. They could have left it at magnetic attraction, but instead of gazing into each other’s eyes all day long, the two lovers decided to combine their talents and create an entire universe dedicated to glamour, humour, and love. They had the good idea of naming themselves after the best possible kind of command: Vive La Fête!
The musical combination is pretty surprising too! Groups like the Klaxons might be getting lauded for their originality these days, but never forget that VLF were some of the first to dare to merge two seemingly incompatible musical trends and make of them something wild.
Vive La Fête is kind of like, if you took an 80’s pop sample, a bit of cold wave, the best kind of electronica, a smidgen of rock and the voice and lyrics of 60s French songstresses under the influence of Serge Gainsbourg… and then shook them all up. The resultant cocktail is one hell of a unique explosion! A true shot of pure eroticism.
Add the fact that Danny and Els are hot with an innate sense of sexy showmanship (Make up? Check! Costumes? Check! Energy? Check!) success had to be just round the corner…
After their first albums, 2000’s Attaque Surprise and 2001’s Republique Populaire, Vive La Fête were soon spotted by Karl Lagerfeld, who went on to declare himself their number one fan! They did the music to accompany the 2002 Chanel shows, and quickly gained media and public recognition. Then came more albums (Nuit Blanche in 2003 and Grand Prix in 2005), and tours all over the world, and passion ... wherever they go. In 2007 Vive La Fête released their fifth album “Jour de Chance” (Lucky day).
With every new album comes of new live show ! Check them out, Vive La Fête live is lots of positive energy on stage and very rock’n roll!
