ahhh, this is the kind of disco i just can’t get enough of. BELLE EPOQUE! glass candy covered this song, but i have to say, the original holds up just fine.
i mean, seriously, these gals have everything. gold lame + weird TV appearances, CHECK.
silver lame + dancing on bavarian rooftop, CHECK.
studded leather jacket + scarves, CHECK.
sparkly leggings with matching eye shadow + white pantsuit + playing in front of a giant roulette wheel (introduced by a cutie in a rainbow-striped shirt, no less!), CHECK.
and i can’t even begin to figure out what this is supposed to be—there’s no way this is the original group, but it sounds just like them—weird russian lip-synch television spectacular, anyone?
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE REAL BELLE EPOQUE IS NOT THESE CHOAD-BURGERS. (btw, if you watch that video, the bass player’s screamy vocal bits are kinda priceless—it’s like chunk from the goonies found emocore).
