Wandering Oak brings you:Los Bitchos
plus Faux Real
at The Grove
• Los Bitchos • (AU / SE / UK / UY. City Slang)
Los Bitchos is back and better than ever! Since the launch of their much-loved debut album, 'Let the Festivities Begin,' with City Slang in February 2022, the London-based, pan-continental female instrumental four-piece has captivated audiences worldwide. They've performed over 200 shows, including legendary appearances at Glastonbury, supporting tours with King Gizzard, and a legendary stint to Australia. Their dynamic live presence remains unparalleled.
The excitement continues with their new single, “LA BOMBA,” setting the stage for headline shows across the US, UK, and EU starting in September through autumn 2024.
Serra Petale (guitar), Agustina Ruiz (keytar), Josefine Jonsson (bass), and Nic Crawshaw (drums) hail from various corners of the globe but were united by all-night house parties and mutual friends. Their unique sound—a retro-futuristic blend of Peruvian chicha, Argentine cumbia, Turkish psych, and surf guitars—binds them together. They've already made waves with their much-loved album, 'Let the Festivities Begin,' which cemented their status in the music world. If 'Let the Festivities Begin' was just the pre-party, then with their new single and upcoming music scheduled for 2024, the party is truly about to begin.

• Faux Real •
It's hard to pin down Faux Real. The Franco-American duo, comprised of brothers Elliott and Virgile Arndt, have been steadily broadening the scope of their project. Their high-octane DIY performances, involving matching cut-up boiler suits lined with fringe, barefoot dance routines, and crowd-splitting high- kicks, are taking on a more established and ever more unhinged form — think Iggy Pop meets campy Eurodance boyband.
Exploring themes of pastiche, hustle culture, anxiety and authenticity with an often brutalist sound — and en franglais (s’il vous plaît!) - the band of brothers cite a broad range of references from Talking Heads to Björk, from the outsider ballads of Tommy Mandel to fellow Franco-American bard Joe Dassin, from 90s Eurodance to Prefab Sprout, the California-drenched synth bangers of Mylene Farmer to experimental pop futurists Art Of Noise or industrial dance duo Chris & Cosey.
At the core of Faux Ever, Faux Real interrogate what constitutes “real” art, and seek a home within their practice. They have built an entire philosophical framework, acting as a duo of alternative jesters infiltrating the pop space. Toeing the line between undeniable pop potential and an off-kilter flair lies at the core of everything they do. That said, no one really knows what is real and what is faux, and that’s the magic of it all.
