V FESTIVAL TORONTO Just a few weeks away is the North American debut of rebel billionaire Richard Branson's Virgin Music Festival. The event is proudly being hosted on our very own Toronto Island, where thousands of expected attendees will ferry across to the lush outdoor setting facing the Toronto skyline. If you haven't been checking recently, the roster has swelled to ginormous proportions, with recent additions including The Strokes, MSTRKRFT, The Flaming Lips and Amon Tobin, among others. This French band and cliptip pop favourite is also amongst the marquee bands playing the inaugural event. This is the second video from their third long player is directed by Daniel Askill. It's a beautiful stop-motion piece combining performance photography against wonderfully composed landscapes. In other news, the band, also makes a guest appearance in the latest Sofia Coppola feature film, Marie Antoinette. In other other news, Sofia and Phoenix lead singer Thomas Mars are expecting their first child together. Watch the music video (qt).
