New Discoveries

"The name Phoebe Killdeer suggests an action hero to rival Lara Croft and on stage she is that and much more than a member of Nouvelle Vague" one critic wrote for the superb Australian Paris-based chanteuse who recently released her first solo album "Weather's Coming". And it is quite true. Phoebe is a brilliant performer on stage (in the theatrical sense), constantly reaching out to her live audience making you feel you are there and contributing to the show. Even when the gig is taking place on small stage in the courtyard of the French Institute in London as part of the annual Fete de la Musique festival held in the streets of South Kensington in plein daylight, she makes a real difference. This is a voice to watch and enjoy both physically and mentally.

Her band The Short Straws is formed by Cedric Le Roux (guitar), Raphael Seguinier (drums) and Alex King (bass).
