PRIORITE A GAUCHE ON FACEBOOK

MySpace?- So last season. Get with le programme, it's all about Facebook now. See you there...


PRIORITE A GAUCHE ON MYSPACE
Do YOU have a Priorité à Gauche CD?

If not, too bad – we’re pretty much sold out at the moment, and they are not available in the shops. Getting hold of one on eBay can be difficult too, although we did see one with a starting bid of £1.99, but no-one bought it. Sadly, not everyone is as discerning in their taste in music as you.

However, as a special treat we are offering our fans the opportunity to download all our songs for FREE from MySpace.

That's right! FREE! GRATUIT!

The system is simple: you leave us a message on our MySpace page indicating which songs you want from the list, and we will make them available to download. As we are only allowed to post four songs at a time, we will rotate them until everyone has what they wants (in terms of PaG songs, not life in general. Although some would argue it amounts to the same thing).

So get writing and send us a message with your request by visiting:

PRIORITE A GAUCHE SHOCK FANS BY TURNING THEIR BACK ON RAP MUSIC!!
'Unplugged' the way forward, say France's hippest pop duo

Priorité à Gauche yesterday announced that they are to abandon all forms of synthesised music
in favour of an 'unplugged' acoustic style. The move, which is set to surprise and delight their fans around the world, has been in the pipeline for some time, sources close to the gallic musicians claim.

Famous for cutting edge rap hits such as 'Tricolore 3A', 'Ecoutez et Repetez' and 'Bonjour', Priorité à Gauche redefined the ex-patriot French rap scene and electrified audiences from Inverness to Ipswich. Now they say they are going to 'electrify their fans without even being plugged in', although it is believed that their guitars, double bass and harmonica will need some sort of amplification. Asked to clarify, a spokesman confirmed that no-one would literally be electrified, though went on to admit that 'instruments would in all probability be plugged in, but the spirit and style of the music would be of a non-electronic nature'.

Following a highly acclaimed experiment at Edinburgh 2003 where they performed three sell-out secret late night 'unplugged' gigs, Priorité à Gauche continued their success at the Albany in Great Portland Street with four gigs, featuring a kaleidoscope of musical guests.

Asked to comment on the change of direction, the French songsmiths said:

"We want to get back to our roots - without the artifice of synthesised music. We feel that the world needs to hear us once more in our naked, stripped down form. We have become too commercial so we are going au naturelle and doing 'pure music' turning our back on the money-grabbing, consumerist music industry."

Asked if this meant an end to PaG rap music, the pop duo are quick to reassure:

"We still do rap occasionally, mainly for corporate events, weddings and bar mitzvahs. Also some of our new set includes the raps we used to do, but with new acoustic arrangements. We are just saying au revoir - but not adieu - to rap."
