Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Free entry! Montreal new wave outfit Choses Sauvages cast disco, dance-punk and yacht rock into old school patchwork songwriting, while Bristol synthpop funk four-piece Tungz forge a groovy technicolor surround sound. Both purveyors of loping carbonated basslines and pearly synths that’ll enthral fans of: Currents-era Tame Impala, Neon Indian, !!!, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, drum filters."

GRAVY TRAIN & BLG PRESENTS:
CHOSES SAUVAGES • www.instagram.com/chosessauvages
Montreal’s Choses Sauvages will return in Spring 2025 with a third offering, just as danceable and carefully crafted as its predecessors. Pushing further into experimentation, this album features more post-punk elements that will leave no one indifferent.
Choses Sauvages impresses with the radical nature of its proposal. Their dance-punk songs unfold skillfully and intelligently on their albums and fully captivate the audience when performed live. Irreverent and explosive, Choses Sauvages' shows carry an inimitable electrifying atmosphere. Known for their stage presence, the members of the band led by the incandescent Félix Bélisle (La Sécurité) make it a point to set any stage on fire. The audience is inevitably treated to a hypnotic, heart-pounding, and more danceable concert than ever.
They have showcased their material in France, Spain, Belgium, the UK, Germany, and Mexico, at several festivals including Pitchfork Music Festival Paris, Printemps de Bourges, MaMA, Pete The Monkey, and Mad Cool Festival. They also supported American rock band The Bright Light Social Hour for nearly 30 shows across the US and in some English-speaking provinces of Canada. Their third album is scheduled for release in March 2025 on the Audiogram label.
TUNGZ • www.instagram.com/tungzzzzzz
Born out of a basement home studio in Bristol, Tungz are a self-produced synthpop four piece delivering shimmering grooves, funk beats and friendship. Nicky Green, Jamie Maier, Rick Holland and Ollie Horne first came together playing in the melting pot of funk, disco and confusing bands that surrounded them in the Bristol scene. Tungz began their career under the wing of Jamz Supernova and later voyaged M5-wards after their electric live show drew the attention of Manchester’s Heist or Hit who signed them for their debut album. Once described as 'Funky Pink Floyd', Tungz are now working on new tunes between London and Paris, drawing inspiration from DJ sets, dusty synth plugins, over consumption, near misses, marketing teams, old technologies and books.
