Pop Cultured: AIAS

AIAS' beat-happening goes totally grrrl group pop is right up our alley. But what else do they like other than a bit of Calvin Johnson? Not boys who dump girls by text message, that's for sure....

Video

Herman Dune : I wish that I could see you soon, “work in process”



I love this unfinished video, where we can see the green-chromed guys moving the letters. This is so sweet. My ex boss would say “ Gaia you just love any video where there are dogs or kids”…maybe she is right. This one in particular.

Book

“Letter from an unknown woman” from Stefan Zweig.



In a bit more than 100 pages, the most moving love story; representing love as obsessively unreachable, slowly tragic, entirely incontrovertible… as it as to be…

Record

Beat Happening - Jamboree



I am totally in love with Calvin Johnson voice. “Cat walk” or “Indian summer” for example just make me stop whatever thing I am doing, to enjoy this –as Johnson says “dark and sexy” sound.

Something you already know

Aias come from both names Laia and Gaia…it was a joke for a one-date concert. At the end when we decided to keep the band, we were already used to this name.

Something new

* I was born in South Korea, grew up in France, live in Spain and try to sing in catalan
* If I have a daughter one day I’ll name her June
* 3 different times they split up with me serious relationships by sms…grrr

AIAS play a one off UK show at the Old Blue Last on Saturday 11 September
