Tonight at the Dolphin: DFA dude Jacques Renault with Les Profesionnels

If you’ve never been to the Dolphin Tavern – the new South Broad drinkerie with a DJ-centric events calendar – tonight might be a good time to start. On tap is Jacques Renault, a DC-area post punk turned electrohead on the DFA Records roster. He’s worked with the likes of The Hundred In The Hands and Chairlift, and has a few selections on Dolphin co-proprietor Dave P’s RVNG International Records. Also on the bill is Les Professionnels, the three-piece Philly crew whose craft for classic club bangers may be as much of a winning point as their ambition. Last time I chatted with the dudes, they told me they were working on their first LP, which was described with phrases like “space opera” and “Tommy, in the year 20,015.” Zoinks.
