Details of Christopher Owens' first live performance since the announcement of his highly anticipated solo debut, "Lysandre" has been received exceptionally well. With the first London date sold out, we are sure the second will soon follow suit.
The former GIRLS front-man, will premiere "Lysandre" from start to finish alongside the full band from the studio recordings. He has already played a special show in his hometown of San Francisco, at their acclaimed venue The Lodge. We learnt the show was filmed and only a small portion of tickets were made available to purchase.
Owens announced"Lysandre" last month and streamed two tracks, Lysandre’s Theme & Here We Go from his official website.

It is due for release via Fat Possum on January 15th, 2013, AND via Turnstile on January 14th, 2013, for ROW
