Wednesday October 7th Faux Real w/ Babe America, Bryce Xavier \*\*\* It's hard to pin down Faux Real. The Franco-American art pop duo, comprised of brothers Elliott and Virgile Arndt, have been steadily broadening the scope of their project. Their high-octane DIY performances, involving matching costumes, synchronised dance routines, and crowd-splitting high-kicks, are taking on a more established and ever more unhinged form — think Iggy Pop meets Eurodance boyband. Toeing the line between undeniable pop potential and an off-kilter flair lies at the core of everything they do. The contradictions between order and chaos, between the visceral and the artificial — that’s where Faux Real truly shines. That said, no one really knows what is real and what is faux, and that’s the magic of it all. \*\*\* Somewhere between the tortured lover and the tortured artist lives singer-songwriter and actress Ava Morse, known as Babe America. Hailing from Naperville, Illinois, Ava first gained recognition as the voice of Miriam Mendelsohn in Disney and Pixar's Turning Red. Now, the 20-year-old triple threat portrays desire, delusion, and devotion with a voice unmistakably her own, offering an unflinching commentary on the pursuit of validation. \*\*\* Bryce Xavier is a Los Angeles native with a bold, unapologetic, and 110% queer approach to every aspect of life. A digital trailblazer since the age of 14, Bryce has cultivated a global audience of over 4 million followers, using his platform to champion authenticity, vulnerability, and self-expression. Bryce made his music debut in 2020 with the single “Bus Ride Away,” which was featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday as a “Quarantine” track. The single, along with its follow-up “Already Looking At Me” was co-written and produced by Linkin Park icon Brad Delson and acclaimed producer Danny Byrne. The trio worked to cultivate Bryce’s pop-synth sound, bringing light to the lives of his audience.
