Lio was HUGE in the 80s, I think she was … The Lovers http://weheartmus… Fred and Marion are a real couple in their band, The Lovers. They’re currently based out of Sheff… Stereo Total http://weheartmus… I’ve already mentioned Stereo Total, but that was mostly about their “Do the Bambi” album. Well,…

Real life Belgium couple, Danny Mommens and Els Pynoo are Vive La Fête, which means “long live the party”. The band first caught my attention when they chose to cover Lio’s “Bannana Split” and made it more electro on their Hot Shot EP (2005).

Apparently these guys are quite popular in the fashion world because Germany designer, Karl Lagerfeld is one of their biggest fan.

Vive La Fete – Banana Split Vive la Fete – La Route (black strobe remix)

Not counting their compilation and remix albums, Jour de Chance is their 5th album since they started releasing CDs in 2000.

“Une Par Une” sounds a lot like Stereo Total^[W♥M] to me. It’s my favorite song, next to the remix of “La Route”.

The remix of “La Route” actually appears on their latest remix EP called Jour de Chance Remixs which features the an altered image of the original album artwork.

As you can see between the original version of the song (see their video) and the Black Strobe Remix, they are completely different songs. More information on the French band, Black Strobe, on myspace, where it shows that they are currently on tour.

Speaking of tour, it looks like Vive La Fête are also on tour. I have included their tour dates here.
