Omg that’s second place I’ve been to if you count walking past it.

Is this were the first Eurovision contest was held? If so I missed a fucking opportunity to take a pic of it.
 
And now for the ARTISTÉS (in a completely different order)...


1. ELODIE GERVAISE (France/Australia)

Elodie Gervaise is a French-Australian artist who creates beautiful, ethereal electronic music awash with synths and her powerful, hypnotic voice.

After spending many years singing and playing guitar in bands across Australia including Galaxy Girls and Candy Lucid, she moved to Paris in 2018 to immerse herself in her French roots and the European scene. She soon formed a band, releasing an EP and playing live shows, before the pandemic brought everything to halt. She has since launched a solo career, and late last year she released the EP Syzygy.
 
2. ULTRAFLEX (Norway)

Norwegian band Ultraflex’s sound is inspired by the disco, italo and funk of the 80’s, blending it with new-age sensibilities, unexpected jazz chords and melodic twists. The result is a catchy, contemporary whirlwind of dance floor weirdness, nodding to their ancestors in the historical lineage of spectacular electronic music. The duo’s material is both kitsch and high concept – pushed through a contemporary pop culture filter Ultraflex creates their own brand new lotion carefully tailored to your needs.
 
3. LADANIVA (Armenia)

The group was founded in October 2019 by Armenian singer Jacqueline Baghdasaryan and French multi-instrumentalist Louis Thomas. Ladaniva immediately became famous with the song ‘Vay Aman’, which presented a fresh style and a new approach to world music.

Voggue was a female disco vocal duo from Canada composed of Chantal Condor and Angela Songui. Because band creator Denyse Lepage was already known from her Lime club hit 'Your Love', the label management didn't wanted to 'confuse' the public and so hired two girls which had absolutely nothing to do with the creation and production of the music: Chantal Condor and Angela Songui who did it for the promotion, eventually owned the name and took the formation further without the formation originators even being asked. Denyse Lepage and Denis Lepage learned the new management move from watching television when the new duo appeared, the couple left off the project before the completion of first album. The group recorded two albums and released a number of singles which appeared on the US dance music charts.
