VIDEO: Yelle Goes Gay for the New Gay

If you like this, check out more such content at The New Gay.
French pop luminary Yelle (nee’ Julie Budet) is the vocalist of her like-named band. While she is the vocal point — providing the voice, look and amazing dance moves at their unforgettable live shows — she is also joined by band mates Grand Marnier and Tepr. Together they combine the best features of, say, Hot Chip and Robyn as carefully controlled beats and lights combine with a white-hot frontwoman to make one of the more thrilling live dance parties in my recent memory.
Though onstage she is nothign but bombast, Julie in person was deceptively sweet and lowkey. If only all interview subjects were as easy to speak with as she was I might find myself drinking less (though that’s a post for another day.) Check out this interview and I strongly suggest you listen to Yelle’s new album Safari Disco Club if you haven’t already.
(and special thanks to Wes Della Volla for editing and camerawork. Check out his excellent blog Coffee and Bars if you haven’t already.)
