69 is Armand Gonzalez and Virginie Peitavi and they call their music “Novo Rock”. Vocals, Guitar, Moog, Baritone Guitar and Vintage Beat-boxes: with their instruments, they create a kind of rock music that uses synthetic and analogical sounds to reinvent itself. The two musicians were previously part of French underground cult trio Sloy. Feeding on a common background of older influences (Devo, Public Image Limited, Talking Heads, The Cramps…), they turn it into something new that paradoxically sounds catchy and twisted at the same time. These influences have been so deeply integrated and digested that the duet manages to develop a unique musical personality stretching beyond mere references that could be identified in specific tracks. First through their inventive pop songs that sometimes revel in minimalism.
