Ground Control Touring

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.
