The band, from Rennes, were one of the bands I was lucky enough to catch live on my recent visit to the city, when they played as part of the Bars en Trans festival, an event that takes place in bars and nighclubs across the city at the same time as the Rencontres Trans Musicales festival at the Liberté and Parc Expo events.
Bars en Trans was a much lower key event, but with a vigorous lineup of acts at a wide variety of venues.
While the acts may not have been as widely known as the likes of Stromae, the smaller venues gave a much-deserved platform for emerging talent.
Sudden Death of Stars were one of the bands I managed to catch, and I have to say I was pretty surprised as I was listening to them towards the end of 2012, never imagining I'd have the chance to catch them live on their home turf a year later. A real pleasure.
Anyway, their new album -their second- All Unrevealed Parts Of The Unknown comes out on Ample Play Records, with live shows in Liverpool (Feb 28) and March (March 4). They play in Paris on Friday March 14 and in Rennes at the 1988 Live club in March 15 if you're lucky enough to be in the area.
You can listen to two tracks here on the Quietus website.
