CHRISTINE AND THE QUEENS LISTEN TO NEW SONG "STAYIN’ ALIVE ! CHRIS VERSION"

CHRISTINE AND THE QUEENS 


LISTEN TO NEW SONG "STAYIN’ ALIVE ! CHRIS VERSION"


ACCLAIMED NEW ALBUM 

PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE 

OUT NOW


“Stayin’ Alive ! Chris Version” art


Christine and the Queens today completes a triumphant year with the surprise release of his reinterpretation of a Bee Gees classic. “Stayin’ Alive ! Chris Version” first debuted live in a performance at the Cannes Film Festival this summer and now arrives as a fully realised studio version, alongside a video shot in Venice and directed by Chris himself.


Art heals! Brings us all together again and again! Art is the experience of humanity, the joyful boat of the imagination, the fireside where we reinvent together - childhood

My masters use art as a magical refuge and I, in turn, take them along

masked, free of themselves into the sovereign realm of their own dreams.

Made in a few days, in an emergency with fabulous friends, generous strangers, the inhabitants of Venice the beautiful, this is our fond farewell to 2023

our PUNK gesture for a better future

see you soon, 

Chris


Watch / listen to "Stayin’ Alive ! Chris Version"


“Stayin’ Alive ! Chris Version” ends a year that saw the artist releasing his second acclaimed album in less than 12 months; curate and perform at London’s legendary Meltdown Festival; headline stages at Coachella, BBC 6 Music Festival, Glastonbury Festival and Wilderness Festival; and tour the globe to sold out audiences.


The acclaimed PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE, released in June via Because Music, is written, performed, and produced by Christine and the Queens, with co-production by Mike Dean (Lana Del Rey, Beyoncé), and features guest appearances from powerhouses Madonna and 070 Shake. The stunning 20-track record is proving a mainstay in album of the year round ups, including lists by BBC 6 Music, Sunday Times Culture, Rolling Stone, Variety, Clash and Rough Trade, amongst others. Highlights on the new album include the newly released single “A day in the water”, the hypnotic “Tears can be so soft,” the “thoroughly obsessional” (The New York Times) “True love (feat. 070 Shake),” and the “stellar” (PAPER) lead single “To be honest.”

PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE artwork by Paolo Roversi


The 20-track LP is hyperpersonal but enigmatic, spiritually minded but extremely horny, extraterrestrial but grounded.”  Vulture

“a patient and pleading unfurling of atmospheric sounds” The New Yorker

“Melodic, clever, stylish, serious, fun, addictively unexpected and euphorically danceable” - 5*, The Guardian

“There are songs of breathtaking beauty… frequently extraordinary” - 5*, Evening Standard

“A new magnum opus” - 5*, DIY Magazine

“An astounding mausoleum of heavy emotions and heavenly longing” - The Observer

“One of the most complex entries into our recent pop lexicon, it’s a revelation” 

- Album of the Month, DJ Mag

“A sprawling odyssey” - 9/10, The Line of Best Fit

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE CLOSE OUT THE YEAR IN STYLE

Performing TONIGHT on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

there’s no denying that the five-piece are one of the greatest rock bands on the planet —NME

Queens of the Stone Age are one of the last great legacy rock bands left, because no matter how fickle the music business, maybe it just doesn’t really matter when you’re that damn good — Dallas Morning News

After gracing the rest of North America and Europe with legendary shows all year, “U.S. rock gods” (The Telegraph) Queens of the Stone Age have finally landed in their home turf of Los Angeles to close out the 2023 in epic fashion. 

The festivities kick off with tonight’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! for their first U.S. television appearance in support of their latest album, In Times New Roman…  The band will perform the hit “Emotion Sickness,” which moved Pitchfork to rave, “alternates fluently between high-octane blasts of acid-damaged guitar and a chorus that luxuriates in the band’s melodic chops. ‘Baby don’t care for me,’ goes the deceptively sun-kissed refrain… there’s a playfulness, a thrilling push-and-pull between melody and attack, that recalls the band’s heights.”

Saturday the band will return to Los Angeles’s own Kia Forum, their first Los Angeles performance since their 2018 headline performance at the Forum. Ticketed fans will be treated to Queens Colosseum, an official pre-party hosted by Queens of the Stone Age where guests are encouraged to “dance like no one is surviving.” 

Queens Colosseum is located at the Forum’s terrace with food and drinks available.  The parking lot party will include performances by local bands DeathbyRomy, Return to Dust and Ramonda Hammer, plus DJ set courtesy of Rock Night Out, carnival games, burlesque performances curated by Kitty Lane and friends from Jumbo’s Clown Room, flash tattoos, tarot reading and specialty goods vendors. Guests are encouraged to bring an item of clothing for screen printing as well. Toys for Tots will be collecting holiday gifts for donation – one lucky participant will win a ticket upgrade for two.  

This event starts at 4PM and runs through the start of the show, and is for ticket purchasers only. More information can be found at https://qotsa.com/news/
