A 21st Century reflection of Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin, French rock ’n’ roll couple Marie (drums, vocals) & Lionel Limiñana (guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, vocals).
Married couple Marie & Lionel Limiñana decided to carry their mutual life over to rock ’n’ roll. They virtually revered the rock ’n’ roll attitudes of The Velvet Underground, Suicide, The Stooges, Nick Cave and Serge Gainsbourg. They adapted the musical revolutions of the 60s and 70s to modern times with a Francophone spirit. They drew inspiration from psychedelic rock, garage rock, blues, 60s French pop and music from the golden age of Italian “Giallo” movies. In 2010 they released their debut album named after themselves. ‘Crystal Anis’ in 2012 and ‘Costa Blanca’ in 2013 followed. In 2015 they released ‘Traité de guitarres triolectiques’ with French guitarist Pascal Comelade with whom they were to cross paths frequently. The moment they moved their fame beyond the borders of France, is when they released ‘Malamore’ in 2016. Former Joy Divison and New Order bassist, the living legend Peter Hook was featured in the album. Hook accompanied the couple on their song titled ‘Garden of Love’ with his trademark bass performance. They greeted Istanbul for the first time in 2017 with their EP titled ‘Istanbul is Sleepy’ realised in collaboration with Anton Newcombe, the iconic member of famed The Brian Jonestown Massacre. We witnessed the height of their vintage sound in their 2018 album ‘Shadow People’ produced by Anton Newcombe, where they reunited with Peter Hook and featured the famous actress Emmanuelle Seigner. The Limiñanas, who lives and keeps rock ’n’ roll alive, will be at Salon İKSV on April 13 for their first concert in Istanbul.
Like a black and white 60’s period movie shot in the 21st century. An all-out rock ’n’ roll night in the company of guitars full of effects and whispering vocals. Cure for those who enjoy Serge Gainsbourg, The Velvet Underground and Allah-Las.
