STOLEN NOVA 

On April 7th, 1985 Prince concluded his Purple Rain tour at The Forum in Los Angeles. The following day he ventured down to Venice Beach. He stumbled upon a house party where Suicidal Tendencies were playing and went inside. He borrowed a skateboard from Jay Adams and did a wallride in his high heels. He took a pink spray paint can and graffitied his name in the bathroom. He even sat in on guitar for a few songs with Suicidal before the party was busted by the police…None of this is true, but if it were the results may or may not sound something like Los Angeles native Josh Landau’s Stolen Nova.

MARLON MAGNEE 

After fifteen years of touring the world with La Femme, the band he co-founded, earning numerous gold records, a Victoire de la Musique award, over 600 million streams, and 400,000 albums sold, and leading it to some of the biggest stages in France and abroad (Accor Hotel Arena, Zéniths, Glastonbury, Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza Chicago, Osheaga Montreal…), Marlon is now returning as a solo artist with a debut album that reconnects him to his earliest passions.

The record showcases his taste for unexpected blends and his unmistakable style: a mix of rockabilly, punk, cold wave, and psychedelic psychobilly. The songs , in both French and English, are built on ’60s guitars, an ’80s “synth orgy,” powerful drum machines, analog delays, and a deliberately raw energy.

His influences run throughout the album: The Velvet Underground, The Stranglers, Motörhead, The Cure, The Stray Cats, JJ Cale, the Nuggets compilations, as well as French icons like Gainsbourg, Les Rita Mitsouko, Métal Urbain, Plastic Bertrand, and Marc Charlan. The result is a fast, fierce record (tempos reaching 240 bpm), at times radical, crafted “for those with bleeding hearts and a desire to fight back.”

Co-produced with Renaud Letang (Feist, Manu Chao, Peaches) at the legendary Studio Ferber, this album marks a true return to roots for Marlon and powerfully signals the revival of rock in today’s music scene.

SAM QUEALY 

Australian-born, Paris-based composer, songwriter, and performer Sam Quealy creates a world where TECHNOPOP , anarchic pop, and hyper-feminine chaos collide. Her debut album Blonde Venus introduced a fiercely original universe....dark, volatile, and theatrical, shaped by her background in cabaret, ballet, and global performance.

Her upcoming sophomore album JAWBREAKER (out January 30) continues expanding that vision, amplifying the sweetness, danger, and maximalism at the core of her sound. 

A multidisciplinary artist, she blends choreography, fashion, and persona into a singular aesthetic. Onstage, Quealy becomes a high-voltage force, part showgirl, part rock star, part otherworldly creature...channeling raw energy through storytelling and unapologetic presence. Her work defies convention, offering a world of glamorous anarchy where vulnerability and spectacle collide.
