Champagne Superchillin' Tickets

When the French expat Juliette Buchs was homesick for her country, she'd sing French-pop songs to her friends karaoke-style, with a few bottles of wine, as is custom. In the increasingly diverse Nashville scene, some of those friends, Fly Golden Eagle's Ben Trimble and Clear Plastic Masks drummer Charles Garmendia, were convinced to start a band — not a throwback to classic country or Americana, but something more chic, from across the Atlantic.

Now based in New York, Champagne Superchillin' is getting ready to release its third album in as many years, Taj. It still mines the New Wave of yesteryear, with nods to Françoise Hardy and Serge Gainsbourg, but Champagne Superchillin' has now been dipped in cuban rhythms, haunting electronics and a syrup-thick production that coats it all in a psychedelic glaze. It's intoxicating pop music for the dark corners of the dance hall.
