Bands Named After Hotels, Part 1
If I were to say that there was a Parisian electronic group churning out a slew of bonkers remixes and carefully releasing their original music in the wake of those remixes, I wouldn't be surprised if you said, "Oh, you're talking about Justice circa 2006." While that would be accurate, today we're talking about Chateau Marmont. The foursome is responsible for remixes of Peter, Bjorn & John, Royksopp, La Roux, Midnight Juggernauts, Ladyhawke, etc. They also have a few EPs and a new mix called C-M-X. Devotion to synthesizers, electronic music pioneers, vocoders and clear adoration of a lot of thumping beats tie Chateau Marmont together.
Chateau Marmont's first US show is Wednesday, March 9th, at the Abbey. They open for Tahiti 80. Chicago locals Gemini Club and the Nurse Novels open at 8:30PM. The show's 21+ and $15. The Abbey's located at the corner of Elston & Grace.
