Bonne année à tous,

Delighted to announce our first Disques Vérité of the year will be at Stir Stores on 3rd February. ✌️

With the enigmatic Zouzou on our poster, it’d be wrong for us to not go down the Counterculture/ Art Rock route this time. So expect a heavy dose of Mai ’68 vibes alongside your Garagey/ Freaky French/ Yé-Yé faves. 🔥

This one is 7 til midnight and it’s free in. Look out for more from us this year too.. some collabs and pop ups in other cities and so on.. ☾🇫🇷
