Laetitia Sadier + Ralph of London + Alex Irvine
"Sell out warning! A teeeeeny tiny cap showing for a star of modern avant-pop! Laetitia Sadier’s solo output carries Stereolab’s pioneering legacy into new territory – marrying chanson, electronica, dream pop and kosmische with her unmistakable, ever-mesmerising deadpan vocals. She’s in fine, fine company with unruly art-punk two-piece Ralph of London and Alex Irvine’s dark pop mutations."

LAETITIA SADIER
https://laetitiasadier.bandcamp.com
During her 30 year career, Laetitia Sadier has never shied away from the hard topics, or stopped advocating for self determination and emancipation in the face of the powers that be.
This is an essential part of the foundation she co-built with Stereolab and continued with Monade and an additional five LPs under her own name. 2024’s gorgeous Rooting For Love is her most recent release.
Few musicians can claim to have made such a mark on the British music scene in the last thirty years as Laetitia. With Stereolab, she released ten full albums, gaining along the way a large dedicated fanbase and acclaim that rightfully singles Stereolab as one of the most influential alternative bands of the '90s.
With influences as wide as Krautrock, bossa-nova and French pop, the band sculpted a truly original and distinctive sound, one that journalist Simon Reynolds describes as "always the same, always different". Solo, Sadier’s work is both a continuity of her time in Stereolab, and unafraid of change. Laetitia Sadier has collaborated with the likes of Mouse On Mars, Atlas Sound, The High Llamas, Blur and Common. She is one of the most innovative and influential musicians of our time.

Special Guests:
RALPH OF LONDON
https://ralphoflondon.bandcamp.com
Ralph Of London is a shit-pop double act originating in East London, currently based in the North Of France. Their sound is a compound of synthesised Rock and Roll, West African polyrhythm and English Folk tradition, fused into melodic pop, bringing together an unconventional sonic tapestry delivered with sincerity whilst definitely maintaining a touch of introspection and self derision.
ALEX IRVINE
