Two bands with funny names, who fish in the same colorful kitschy pond. Mad&Moiselle is from Belgium, they are the amalgamation of Flemish roots, French chansons, Dutch hormones, German detectives and Brussels air. The songs on their MySpace are 10 years old, but sound fresh today. M&M brought themselves back to life because of an art show, and hopefully their poptastic hearts keep beating.
DKDent (pictured) is a duo from Cologne/Dusseldorf, Dirk has a past in various electro/ebm-bands, singer Stephanie did the rounds in jazz- and soul-outfits. Their ways crossed in 2003, and their influences range from Pizzicato 5 to Nina Hagen. Leçons Françaises is their only French song (that I know of), hopefully their upcoming album will feature some more!
Mad&Moiselle - Chupa Chups
DKDent - Leçons Françaises

DKdent really has the Pizzicato 5 thing going for them :)
