May 24, 2014 By WG News + Arts Leave a Comment

benoit and sergio at cameo gallery“Benoit & Sergio don’t make dance tracks—they tell stories. A sense of place and narrative infuse their rhythms and melodies, transcending the confines of ‘tech-house’ or ‘electronic pop’ and entering a genre-free realm of cinematic imagery and visceral pleasures.” Head over to Cameo Gallery on N 6th Street and revel in their sleazy, romantic pop sensibility, with lyrics about loneliness, French girls, wine, and cocaine. What could be better than that? Cameo Gallery @ 11pm Facebook event
