Rhumba Club

Rhumba Club at Paper Dress Vintage

Rhumba Club is the project of Tom Falle, whose recent work combines live analogue synthesisers, Italo-style beats and a crooning vocal delivery. The material tied to this show places the act's themes in identity, nightlife and queer culture, and presents the concert as a retro-futurist discotheque of the project's own invention.

The programme looks back over the act's catalogue, from the album Welcome to the Rhumba Club to HONCHO, the more recent record that features Juno Francis of Italians Do It Better and Patrick Wolf. Over the past year HONCHO was taken on tour with Mind Enterprises and played at festivals including Mighty Hoopla, KVIFF and Athens Music Week. Tom Falle has also written the score for the film Kluci to vidí jinak než holky, which is due to premiere in October.

The support act is Maximilian Tanner, an independent synth-pop artist from Essex, who has recently supported John Maus on tour. Paper Dress Vintage is a London venue on Mare Street that mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music.
