Cardigan Inn
Dynamic new wave group masterfully mixes 80s synthpop nostalgia with a modern, edgy twist
Cardigan Inn is an Amsterdam-based new wave band that seamlessly weaves the nostalgia of '80s synth pop with raw energy and a modern twist. Think of David Byrne leading Parquet Courts, or a glamorous version of New Order. Their music - infused with themes of love, desire, and digital mystique - is carried by frontman Pablo Nollet, a charismatic figure with the flair of a ‘wedding crooner on the dole’. Live, Cardigan Inn guarantees high-energy performances full of swagger and melancholy; expect to be swept away, challenged, and ultimately moved. It's no wonder that Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos also fell for their charm: “I love this band, they’re f(..)king magic.”
