Pastel Vespa and the Muchachas

Discover all the shades of Pastel Vespa. Imagine a Latin blonde with the charm of Judith Durham and the silky voice of Claudine Longet surrounded by musical maestros that could be re-incarnations of Bacharach, Jobim or Tony Hatch. Think of a cabaret star from Australia, a real Queen of Easy Listening, a groovy and cheesy Shirley Bassey. OK? Then put the best bossa nova and easy listening moods and camp cover versions of hits by The Sex Pistols, Astrud Gilberto, Kiss, Chumbawamba, Ian Durie or Alanis Morrissette. This is The Experience.

Enjoy the unique sounds of Pastel Vespa . . . Exotica? Lounge pop? Mambo Pop? Anarchy Cha-cha? Odd kind of nostalgia? Time for action. “I first heard Pastel Vespasing at The Lido. Or was it The Sands? Perhaps it was in a dream? No matter, what is important is hearing Pastel Vespasing. To do so is to instantly replace everything that was ever mundane in your life with a world of colour, beauty and love. But who is Pastel Vespa? She hails from Brazil, that's Brazil just south of France, west of St.Tropez and a stone's-throw from Dreamsville.

Pastel Vespa is the voice of Spring, a fresh daisy in dappled sunlight, but just as comfortable après-ski after an Audrey Hepburn-style day on the slopes. Sports cars, impossibly long white scarves, knitted daisy dresses. This is the world of Pastel Vespa.
