The Sarah Olivier Band, Garance & The Bloodychondries

Seek out your finest costumes for a pumpkin-exploding Halloween party of live Dirty Tango, Rock'n'Roll, French Chanson, Burlesque, Cabaret, Gypsy, Rockabilly and Blues via the debauched streets of Paris, France and Limehouse!

Headlining the night is devilish Parisian diva SARAH OLIVIER and her Band. Olivier's live shows are a sweet explosion of chanson, rock'n'roll, rap & blues. The Daughter of renowned artist Olivier O. Olivier, Sarah imbibed the bohemian atmosphere of her childhood eagerly, and struck out into the worlds of alt.cabaret, theatre, circus and film as an actor (including for cult auteur Roland Topor), dancer, clown and singer. She released her first solo album, the thrillingly eclectic, critically acclaimed 'Pink Galina' in 2013, and has been touring since with her formidable Paris-based band.

"The voice of a diva; the heart of an expressionist cabaret artist; and the energy of a rock 'n' roller." Télérama

"Sarah's writing is a delicious fantasy where life and death join in some sort of trance. The idea of partying is precious to the singer. A deep attachment to this moment lost in the night when everything splits in between self-abnegation, promiscuity, heat, intimacy, seduction, intoxication, when real has never been so real, when life vacillates and still wins at the end.

"Her voice is alternately hypnotic on Ophélie, tenderly melancholic on Matin d'été, rakish on Voleuse and furiously funny on Miss Coquette. Poetry is everywhere even in her crudest words. Lyrics reflect a magical world with a very real vision, a fantastic bestiary with wolves bumping into each other, flying mollusks, mink wings and chicks in distress. In the middle of all these digressions, this album still reaches a surprising feeling of serenity. On stage, Sarah Olivier commands respect while showing a cheeky sex-appeal, she still defends the values she has always stood for: femininity, independence and freedom."

Garance and the Bloodychondries (otherwise known as the Mitochondries) are a spellbinding dirty-tango / rock'n'roll band that haunt the margins between Tom Waits, Edith Piaf and 60s French Pop, informed by charming burlesque and cabaret flourishes and sublime Gypsy accordion touches. Let them dance into your dreams.

...The Story of Garance the Halloween Queen, Her Zombie Twins and the Bloodychondries:

"It was 1956 and a ship was at peril at sea. It sank in the dead of night with no survivors. The dead included Garance, a pregnant countess. After 10 years submerged in the water, in the cold winter of 1966 the countess and the ship's resident rock'n'roll band, formed from the punks of the sea, are resurrected alongside Jesus Christ. Hand-in-hand they rise from the wreckage and begin to haunt the seas. 9 months later the countess gives birth to Zombie twins. Garance raises them with the help of the ghost band, bestowing a knowledge of the netherworld, and passing the treasures of their musical insanity.

"After 50 years of entertaining the living dead beneath the seas, for this night they rise to give Jamboree a shot of music from the depths of hell. There shall spout forth a spectacular tremor ringing with screams from the core of the earth"
