“New Adventures In Pop” collection [Issue 050]

Already available on our online store!!

We at Elefant are back with a new release on our New Adventures in Pop Collection, a collection we use to support new projects we find highly interesting. This time we’ve got some really special singles; this is the first time we’re presenting new projects formed by members of other groups and interestingly, and coincidentally, enough, it’s the first time it happens and it’s true for all three singles in these new releases. Musicians who have been writing and playing songs with different groups join forces to give shape to BELLE GHOUL, TEACHER TEACHER, and EDINE AVEC LISLE MITNIK ET SON ORCHESTRE. 

BELLE GHOUL is the band formed by Christopher Tait (ELECTRIC SIX) and Jesse Smith (Patti Smith), who have created an indie-pop and northern soul journey that we could even on occasions link to THE BOO RADLEYS. Then there’s the Hong Kong – Chicago connection, EDINE AVEC LISLE MITNIK ET SON ORCHESTRE, a precious collaboration between Edine (THE MARSHMALLOW KISSES) and Lisle (FIREFLIES, TINEY FIREFLIES, VERY TRULY YOURS) that carry us to a delicate and melancholic pop sound with sixties roots and its sights set on France’s Cote d’Azur. And finally, from Spain, there’s TEACHER TEACHER, the band formed by María (THE CHARADES, MITTENS), Cristina (LAS SEÑORAS, SHELLAC FAMILY), and Guillermo (MITTENS, WILD HONEY), a punk-pop trip that has inherited a lot from bands like T [ Read more ]

On March 3rd we have the “Mad Madrid 5×25” party, where 5 groups from the capital city will play for 25 minutes each, with a range of groups from established ones that have already put out albums, like BLA, to Belén and Luis from L-KAN’s parallel project, to others that will soon form part of our “New Adventures in Pop” collection – as is the case with TEACHER TEACHER (a super new band formed by María(CHARADES), Cristina (WILD HONEY) y Guille (WILD HONEY, THE MITTENS) – and including some who already form a part of that collection, like ULTRANOL, BAND À PART and CAPITÁN SUNRISE. Some of the best representations of the new pop being made in Madrid, who can ensure that it will be a special, magical night, where surprises abound. And there will be DJs to finish off the party on the highest note possible.

Elefant ClubC/ San Dimas 3 [Sala Siroco]Madrid 

21:30-03:30

Dj [Luis Elefant]

Luis Elefant [DJ Polar] aka Luis Calvo, hence Luis Calvo aka Luis Elefant [DJ Polar]. One wouldn't exist without the other, of course, and viceversa. Luis Calvo started spinning records and growing a passion for music, and Luis Elefant [DJ Polar] took the flame and kept on djing and spreading the best recordings in pop music whilst his alter ego became one of the most important persons in the last fifteen years [ Read more ]

As many of you already know, the first Saturday of every month is the day we celebrate Elefant Club in Madrid’s legendary bar, Siroco, located on 3 San Dimas Street. Siroco has been totally remodelled, to better suit their fantastic concerts and unforgettable DJ sessions, which are becoming more and more popular. Groups like THE SCHOOL, BAND À PART, FITNESS FOREVER, PAPA TOPO, LOS BONSÁIS, SINGLE, CORAZÓN, GUATAFÁN, CAPITÁN SUNRISE and DJs like Guille Milkyway, Pepito Prieto, Bob Stanley, and our very own Luis Elefant have already made stops on Siroco’s stage, making every single person in the audience twist and shout, in events that are already basically obligatory for anyone who loves the best pop. Nights like these get written indelibly in one’s memory.

We now have new, confirmed dates for the upcoming months. To start, on March 3rd we have the “Mad Madrid 5×25” party, where 5 groups from the capital city will play for 25 minutes each, with a range of groups from established ones that have already put out albums, like BLA, to Belén and Luis from L-KAN’s parallel project, to others that will soon form part of our “New Adventures in Pop” collection – as is the case with TEACHER TEACHER (a super new band formed by María (CHARADES), Cristina (WILD HONEY) y Guille (WILD HONEY, THE MITTENS) – and including some who already form a part of that collectio [ Read more ]
