Take us to the discotheque
“It's 1980, you're wearing Armani and you're driving down the Pacific Coast Highway in your Mercedes-Benz 450SL”
That’s how Douglas Chow describes his Montreal electro-funk outfit AXXE, whose '70s/'80s disco pop unabashedly borrows from the Bay City Rollers and 10cc. We love their video for the ¡BORRACHO! remix of Hard Candy made up of deliciously bad '80s fashion and clips from Boogie Nights.
Perfectly suited to fashion runways and Friday night cocktails, its upcoming EP Mainstream includes a kick-ass S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y. Night Neon Workout remix that can be heard on the Hugo Boss website.
Who said disco was dead?
AXXE EP launch party, from 7 p.m., October 4th, tickets $5, $35 with dinner Restaurant Atma, 3962 St-Laurent Blvd., Montreal, 514-798-8484.
