LITTle E and the R's met 2 years ago and brought back their hands and voices together, giving birth with a little help from Smudie, a few friends and a few children too, birds, roosters and bees to - One 5 tracks EP named "GOODBYE GHOSTS" in 2008 - and soon One Album to be released during Autumn 2009. ONe part of eliotE & The Ritournelles plays the guitar and the trumpet, is very serious with choir's arrangements, listens to Paul mc Cartney, Nick Drake, Shellac, Deerhoof and Guns'n'Roses, ANOther part of the band is truly comitted to the 90's spirit classics, as long as Neil Young and some Bonnie Prince Billy's side projects, likes to mess with a lot of toys instruments and guitars, ANd the last part of this 3 mouths band sings along most of the time and plays little drums' instruments, learned to sing with Ella Fitzgerald, listens to every guitar playing and singing along bands (From Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Sybille Baïer, Nick Drake to Ane Brun, Marissa Nadler, Bon Iver, Joanna Newsom, Jolie Holland) and other great musicians like Patrick Watson, Sufjan Stevens and The Dirty Projectors, but also recently got into a wild passion for 80's band such as Devo, Television and The Talking Heads.

Mercredi 21/10 au Vieux Léon (Paris) POLLYREZA WELCOMING ... V.O.
Petit rappel du concept : pour ces rendez-vous trimestriels, Pollyanna et Reza ouvrent la soirée en acoustique avec 3 morceaux chacun, avant le laisser la place à un invité venu d'ailleurs pour un full-show unique.
Pour cette 5e édition, nous avons la joie d'accueillir V.O. , projet de Boris Gromberger, guitariste de Françoiz Breut, batteur de Soy un Caballo et fer de lance de l'excellent label belge Matamore.
Le Vieux Léon, c'est sympa, bien situé (métro Etienne Marcel, rue de la Grande Truanderie), l'entrée est gratuite et c'est toujours entre 20h30 et 22h00.
