Can’t believe Juniore are celebrating 10 years together. Seems like a few days ago they were gigging around, getting a name for themselves and winning fans in the process.
Still fresh as ever – still embracing the Yeh-Yeh movement of the 60s with hints of Ennio Morricone, surf, some early B-52’s tossed in and a pile of originality as is evidenced on “Tois, Deux, Une”, their second and latest album which came out only a few days ago and which this session for the French FM-outlet FIP and this 18 minute sampler and further reasons for you to fall by their website and pick up your copy. Do it soon because the only thing that’s left is the signed limited edition lp and there are only two copies left of that.
In case you’re just finding out about them now:
Juniore have been seen opening for Dandy Warhols, La Femme, Miles Kane, Interpol and Feu! Chatterton. Singer and guitarist Anna Jean (daughter of writer JMG Le Clézio) also writes and plays keyboards while Swanny Elzingre is on drums and backing vocals. Samy Osta (who also left his mark on the records of Feu! Chatterton, Rover and La Femme), plays keyboards, bass, guitar and refines the sound of Juniore. Since their first 45, Juniore revisits this carefree period of the 60s when everything seemed possible. The twist, the yéyé sounds, the music of old science fiction films or Ennio Morricone Westerns, the surf rock …. Four years after the album Un, Deux, Trois , Juniore returned to the studio to record the thirteen tracks of Trois, Deux, Un, (yes, yes) a FIP selection from October 2024 which is released on the Le Phonographe label.
Okay – time to dive in and get acquainted or get motivated to support – enjoy Juniore no matter what.
And now for some shameless self-promoting:
Wow. Can’t believe it – 2024 is almost over already. Past Daily is still standing, still cranking out history and pop culture and still looking for your support. Fundraisers are pretty much tapped out this year – everybody seems to be doing them and even I’m sick of being hounded for money.
But the fact of the matter is – some of these things are expensive to pull off. In case you didn’t already know, Past Daily is an extension of my archive – the stuff I have collected since the beginning of time (it seems) – my goal is to share all of it with you, and since we’ve started there are over 11,000 posts which you, as a subscriber can explore and there are thousands more waiting.
Better still – once you subscribe you get notified every time we post something and you can download the audio file which you can’t do if you don’t subscribe. That’s the catch.
But it’s my way of saying Thank You for your support and helping me pay all the costs of keeping Past Daily up and running every day.
And subscribing is easy and painless – you can do it with Patreon – you can stretch it out over months, years or just today. You can do a trial subscription for 7 days and then you can either join us or go “no thanks” and life will continue.
But your support is critical. Over this past year we’ve resumed running ads – simply because it’s helping offset the costs we can’t get around, but don’t have enough subscribers to do away with ads completely (believe me, I hate ads just as much as the next person – maybe more). Right now, a little over 100 of you are foregoing a cup of Starbucks in favor of downloading a concert or a World War 2 newscast – and I am completely over-the-moon for your support. But we need more of you. We need 900 more to make a difference.
So all you have to do is click on the red banner below and make your pledge – you can also do Pay Pal or Buy Me A Coffee if you just want to do a one-time support.
But however you decide to do it, we’re grateful. We’ll be here as long as you are.
We could use the company.
