With the Lala By at Berghain Kantine

Last week i performed with the Lala By-family at Berghain Kantine. As usual it was kind of a dark, mystical theatralic performance, this time we looked particularly good because of the beautiful masks created especially for this event by Guillaume Airiaud. It was a night to remember, especially as we will now take a longer break and don't know when we will be performing again. Here are some pics from behind the scenes:

 the master of the masks: Guillaume Airiaud

For those who don't know us yet: 

We are a european folk-pop band based in Berlin. Jules Etienne (voc, guitar) founded the band in 2010 with Yanneck Salvo (pianet, voc) and Jules Valeron (bassguitar, voc), in 2011 Maryz Blue (cello, voc) joined the band, now called "Jules Etienne e le volpi"(...and the foxes).

The songs can be described as diary music, intimate stories told with warm voices and bittersweet melodies. You might like us if you listen to Kings of Convenience, Nick Drake or Simon and Garfunkel.

give it a listen.

Oh and the new EP "Scars and Bandages" is on its way..

See you at Haus Bethanien or at Schalotte!

Yours,

Jules Valeron

London

I'm back from London and will start blogging regularly about my musical and photographic activities, but also about what inspires me and i will also be sharing some songs i've been working on over the past months, so stay tuned!

I went to London with my Band Jules Etienne as we got invited by Howard and Lucy from "The Local" to play at the the "Slaughtered Lamb".
We played a really good show, drank some pints and i enjoyed walking around this dynamic city. It felt good to see so many colored people, old majestic buildings and well-dressed ladies and gents. To feel traditional british flavour and the energy and high pace of London town. Had a great time - and glad to be back in Berlin!
Here are some impressions, more architecture photos will follow soon.
Cheers!
