Martina Topley Bird live at "Nuits Zébrées" of Radio Nova, Paris

Concert information

The lineup of Radio Nova's Nuits Zebrees parties are always a sure shot. Martina Topley Bird played at the Bellevilloise (the same night as Jamie Lidell) for a live show on Radio Nova. Accompanied by her faithful musician on drums, Martina Topley played mischievous and feverish soul music... torturing a few crisp beats here and there to win over the (already conquered) crowd. Fresh live, Martina heated up the room.

Artist

Martina Topley-Bird

Martina Topley walks out of the beaten path of cliche English mainstream pop. And it feels great, with a bit of sould mixed in with electro & hip-hop. Straight out of the London that we love: imperfect, unique, cosmopolitan and so fresh, Martina Topley layers rich texts over danseable and lively compositions.

Martina Topley Bird sort des sentiers battus et rebattus des exigences de la musique mainstream anglaise. Heureusement. Cette jeune anglaise à l adorable minois et à la coupe aussi originale que son ancien mec (Tricky) écrit, compose et chante une soul teintée d électro et de trip hop. Tout droit sorti du Londres qu on aime : Imparfait, unique, cosmopolite et tellement frais, Martina Topley pose des textes riches de sa voix pétillante sur des compos entrainantes et surtout dansante. On va voir la belle anglaise faire trébucher les junkies de leur podium, et ça c est très plaisant (comme sa musique) !

Promoter

Radio Nova "Nuits Zébrées"

Always INSANE ! French reference Radio Nova (101.5FM in Paris) kicked it in 2010 at the Bellevilloise. 3 stories of non-stop partying from 8pm when the concerts start downstairs to way late in the venue's cool labyrinth of rooms, used to the max by the Nova staff!
