I love their MYSPACE presentation:

They have dazed heads that can explain the psychedelic style of their music, but they seem sympathetic^^
The goal of the topical movement is to construe contemporary preoccupations, especially environmental problems. The cracking is a process who makeover oil in plastic. Those artists use humour and irony, a kitsch iconography and monumental sculptures or “coned” to stimulate consciences. Their first demonstration was “SOS world”: 8 giant tortoises was present in the 49th biennial of Venice in 2001. One of its have been sold for 2400 euros in Rome in 2004. Omar Ronda is the leader and theorist of the movement.
We have discover this band whith ” je vais bien, ne t’en fais pas”. The music his as sad as the movie but so beautiful. The 2 french singers had choosen english language to convey the sadness of their melody but it’s Then, Aaron means Artificial Animals Riding on Neverland. The purport of the name can be ” carrier of martyr”, in hebrew.
Whereas Artists of Pop art denounced mass-media and the mass-consumption, that’s now an instrument of communication of industrial groups, specially urban brands. There are 2 years, Levi’s has passed an agreement with Andy Warhol foundation to create a collection called Warhol Factory x Levi’s. Today, that’s Pepe Jeans who sign with the foundation the Andy Warhol Collection by Pepe Jeans London. Burton agreed with it too and the creator, Jean Charles de Castelbajac, pay tribute to the artist and the movement through his modern and fanciful collection.
Pop art and Andy Warhol is deeply rooted in the fashion and communication world. It stirs up always to attract because it’s not just an artistic movement, it’s a society phenomenon with values and a popular style misknown by people. But, it’s reference to a “quich” period and popular figures. Brands and communication exploits those bright colors and the principle of screen process. But, the case of Levi’s and Pepe Jean show the lack of variety and creativity. Who have to turn over a new leaf.
Ayo follows a respectable philosophy which is “don’t have country is to be free”. This generous artist who prefers to helps ten children in need instead of buying ten Louis Vuiton bags was born from a nigerian father and a gipsy and heroïnowomen mother. This beautiful half blood is 26 years old and sings in English because she lives in London since 2001, that’s why she figures on this blog. But presenting her I’m presenting you more : the reggae. Her inspirations are not weak : Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Stevie Wonder and Billie Holiday! She likes above all the music of the 70’s because she convey more sensibility and emotions than nowadays…more synthetic cold and technic…I agree with her when she says she prefers the sound of the piano and not this of the synthetisor.
Obviously, fashion turns around…like Claude François would sing it : “it goes and comes back…”, musics of past are tendancy in this period, don’t you think? Thatum is the proof more I’m right ; tastes turn back to the real instruments, those of the orchestra and of the classical music which inspire again musicians which make us feel pleasure to listen to them…
Thatum is a perfect point of balance between Jazz, song and electro…
Visit their site, it features arabic colors…and make you feel in the company of Emirs…
1) Seem rebel: associate rockstar with tattou, make “fuck” to photographer, drink beers…
2) Say to the world how you love it: shed tears at the end of your concert
3) Threaten to stop everything: Advertise that you are overworked, tired, depressed. Make freak out your fanatics.
4) Stop everything: let pass some months and stop when your account is well-filled. Announce you will engage in a humanitarian cause.
5) Come back with the “ripeness album”: come back serevals years after with a real album with autor’s music pieces, give few interviews. You are considered by media like a ” artist” and not just like a “pop star”.
312 shops New Look distribute the collection of the singer, lilly Allen: 6 dresses inspired by the 80’s.
With Lilly Allen, topical figure of british pop, the dress has been generalizes. Then, her wardrobe counts at least 300 dresses.
Would you ever like to feel you like in a cocoon? That’s easy, listen to COCOON…I know, it’s not a group of pop music again, moreover they are not English, but French! But you will learn I’m not narrow-minded, and I have the desire to make you discover all I think is good for soul.
They have the same taste than me, they remixed a song really dancing ; “Hey Ya!”, and I think it’s original. They used above all the acoustic and dooble bass songs.
