Lewis OfMan w/ Julia Logue, Vickie Cherie, DJ Drew Cornwall – 21+

“Beware of nightlife vampires though, they will take you to a corner and enter in your mind by making you feel like your life is a mistake. If you see one, just run away or kiss your lover on the neck.” Night-time is often an adventure. At twilight, tongues loosen, the tempo speeds up and the volume of the speakers increases. From the hit “Attitude” to the single “Boom Boom”, Lewis OfMan welcomes us into his sonic world. The songs that play there are nocturnal poems, assembled in his very first album, the aptly named Sonic Poems. From his first compositions at 11 years old on Garageband, to the well-received Yo Bene (2017) and Dancy Party (2021), Lewis OfMan has always prominently featured music that resounds in the distance when the sun is only just starting to sink. With Sonic Poems, the Parisian producer takes a step deeper into the heart of the night. “Let’s get drunk and keep it light” proclaims the song “Misbehave”, which invites us to raise our glass to the mistakes we make when we’ve had too much to drink, to the encounters we make at club exits (“Love Parade”), and to the messages sent in altered states (“Too Much Text”). An unsurprising tribute, given the way in which encounters shaped Lewis OfMan’s journey in music. It all started with a remix project, which turned into an original song for Vendredi Sur Mer (“La femme à la peau bleue”). A surreal session in a bedroom with rapper Rejjie Snow followed, then openings with Yelle and productions for The Pirouettes and Fakear. It is no surprise, then, that to finalize his first album, Lewis Ofman, born Delhomme, visited Tim Goldsworthy and Bruno Ellingham (Massive Attack, LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture) in England. However, although the disc is permeated with an anglophone touch, starting with the texts, which are practically all in English, it is not exempt from other scattered influences, inspired by OfMan’s travels. First with a trip to a fantasized Barcelona, contemplated from the Montjuïc hill (“Las Bañitas”), then with Tuscany (“Sorry Not Sorry”) before returning to Paris with softer love songs sung in French, like a nod to the songs that got Ofman known (“Regarde moi”). Songs constructed like poems, rollercoasters, or perhaps both.with local support from Julia Logue and DJ Drew Cornwall, and touring support from Vickie Cherie!

Mama Sam and the Jam (single release party!), Vonnie Kyle, Fawkes Glove – 21+

Portland based, Sparkly Psych Pop band, Mama Sam & The Jam lifts vibrations and gives goosebumps. Like Mazzy Star meets Fleetwood Mac, catchy melodies and powerful harmonies over trippy guitar and groovy beats leaves listeners feeling high on vibes. The group’s fresh, intense synergy makes Mama Sam & The Jam fun to watch as they tug at your heartstrings and make you move!Vonnie Kyle is a singer-songwriter based in Portland, Oregon. Her music has been described as “A masterful blend of indie rock and folk-tinged storytelling.”1 Kyle’s songs are upbeat, poignant, and exude a 90s pop-rock sensibility. In the studio and on stage, Kyle is an energetic and fearless performer. Since 2013, Kyle has released four EPs, but in 2022 she released her first full-length album, Imperfect Parts. Its traditional rock band lineup is complemented by lush strings, punchy horns, and intricate vocal harmonies. Thematically, Imperfect Parts explores existential loneliness, longing, and loss, but it’s ultimately a story of self-acceptance. The earliest incarnation of Fawkes Glove was created in 2019 as a side project inspired by the raw delta blues and garage rock sounds of bands like The Strokes, The Black Keys, and the White Stripes. Finding the right members and fighting through a global pandemic put a halt on the project for some time. At the very end of 2022, after the final line up had been set in stone and their sound forged in the fires of the Portland live music scene, Fawkes Glove descended into the basement of a friend’s house to record How it Feels. A 7 track EP that finally captured exactly what the band had envisioned for their sound. Now, armed with the debut EP, Fawkes Glove has set out to conquer the local music scene and make their way steadily outward into the ears of anyone who appreciates music with a little grit and a lot of heart.
