Juniore (FR)

“To our wonderful fans, it has been an unbelievably tricky year, and we find ourselves in a very different place to where we thought we would be. The plan was to have a new album recorded, and be releasing new music ahead of our 2022 tour dates but due to covid we have not been able to be in the studio safely.” As a result Juniore have decided not to undergo further reschedules, and instead cancel the upcoming tour. All tickets will be fully refunded. “Please rest assured we will be back celebrating with you just as soon as we can!”

The “yéyé noir” of Juniore has always been rooted in the cinematic as much as the musical. The Paris outfit’s blending of 1960s French pop, hazy psychedelia, seamless pop, surf grooves and lush orchestration feels as intertwined with big screen aesthetics as greatly as it does being found in the grooves of vinyl. From playing huge venues to thousands of people opening for the likes of the Dandy Warhols, the band are now set for their first Prague show. And what are we to expect? “Hopefully a fair amount of fun, social awkwardness, bizarro dance moves, bad jokes and silly Frenchness.”
