A unique show for film buffs and music lovers alike is set to tour the UK & Europe this September.

‘Wes Banderson: The Music of Wes Anderson’, a celebration of the original score music and deep cut needle-drops from the films of Wes Anderson, is scheduled to come to Manchester, Bristol, London and Birmingham for four special shows this year.

Performing in Team Zissou livery, the five-piece ensemble effortlessly switch between instruments as they move between the soundtracks of ‘Rushmore’, ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’, ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’, ‘The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou’, ‘Moonrise Kingdom’, ‘The Darjeeling Limited’, ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ and beyond.

The group performs pieces from composers Mark Mothersbaugh, Alexander Desplatt, Sven Libaek, Shankar-Jakishan, Maurice Ravel and more, accompanied by live projected visuals.

Creator/Director Adam Znaidi, who you may also know as the bass player of The Go! Team and co-founder of The Physics House Band, says: “The aim for this show was to make it feel like a ‘gig’, something that anyone could enjoy, even if they weren’t that familiar with Wes Anderson’s films. It gets really loud, it gets really quiet and takes you on a journey through a whole load of genres.”

For a taster, watch Wes Banderson perform ‘Shark Attack Theme’ from Wes Anderson’s ‘The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou’ here:

Naomi Aguilera casts her spell with her new single BB ILY

Two years ago, Naomi Aguilera walked onto my radar with EGO, an infectious soulful pop debut that made it impossible not to move. Fast forward to her debut EP Mosaïques, and it was clear she wasn’t just passing through. Personal, colorful, rooted in her Spanish heritage & Brussels upbringing, it even earned her a spot as Apple Music Benelux’s Up Next artist!

Now she’s back with BB ILY, marking the start of a new era. The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.

First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
