The Pierces

The Pierces -- comprised of photogenic sisters Catherine and Allison -- took root in the siblings' hometown of Birmingham, AL. Home-schooled by their musician father and painter mother, the Pierce girls were encouraged in the arts from a young age, and quickly learned to play guitar and harmonize. Though they each became accomplished ballerinas, by 1995 both Catherine and Allison had left dance to attend Auburn University and play music. Sony soon took interest in the duo's sound, and the Pierces moved to Nashville to record their self-titled debut album. Appearing in 2000, The Pierces was a slick blend of folk harmonizing and adult alternative textures. Unfortunately, the record quickly disappeared due to a lack of label support. Moving to New York City, the Pierces worked day jobs, continued writing songs, and performed acoustically at clubs and residences around town. The perseverance paid off in the form of a new record deal -- this time with Universal Music Group -- and the release of another album, 2005's Light of the Moon. Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge followed in 2007, and the Pierces made a cameo appearance on the All-American Rejects' third album, When the World Comes Down, in late 2008.

Nouveau Casino

Following a discrete opening mid June of 2001, and a handful of magical parties, Nouveau Casino launched itself into the Parisian musical scene.
Nouveau Casino is determined to defend a different perspective of music, one which privileges hybrid expression and cutting edge initiatives. It has positioned itself as a host for concerts, images and unique parties where musical discovery is linked to a resolutely convivial atmosphere.
Entirely isolated from its immediate neighbours by a wall of colossal thickness and endowed with highly professional technical equipment as well as a team that possess know-how in multiple fields, Nouveau Casino is a remarkable concert hall that has the ability to welcome different artistic expressions, namely those from digital arts.
Moreover, when night falls, Nouveau Casino has the rare privilege of transforming itself into a veritable club where live electronic music mixes with the pleasure of the dance floor for groovy and sparkly parties.


Ouvert à la mi-juin 2001, Nouveau Casino a pris son envol dans la comète des lieux musicaux parisiens.
Plus que jamais décidé à défendre une autre vision de la musique qui privilégie les expressions hybrides et les initiatives marginales, le Nouveau Casino s..emmêle avec le plaisir du dancefloor pour des soirées groovy et pétillantes.
Cette salle composée de 2 espaces (salle de concert et mezzanine) est le terrain de jeu idéal pour tout esprit créatif et pratique. Ses parois entièrement composées de tôles triangulaires en acier réfléchissent les projections vidéo et habillent ainsi la salle de vos tonalités préférées . Elle cultive le décalé grâce à ses deux grands lustres façon 19ème qui surplombent la salle, et ses lampes type salle d’opération chirurgicale qui mettent en avant un bar coloré. Ce détournement des matières brutes et industrielles crée une atmosphère sophistiquée et conviviale. Elle peut accueillir jusqu’à 400 personnes.
