French pop quiz

French pop culture from the 1960s has found a new home in the San Francisco Bay Area nightclub scene in recent years. The clothing, films and, of course, music of the era have attracted many local fans, including radio DJs at college stations like KALX and KUSF. Bardot-a-Go-Go is an occasionally scheduled event that features groovy French fashion, videos and pop music. Organized by local DJs and event promoters, Bardot-a-Go-Go is a swinging evening of fun and dancing that brings back figures like Serge Gainsbourg, Françoise Hardy, Jacques Dutronc, and Jane Birkin. Club-goers dress up in period outfits (or interpretations of 1960s pop fashion) and pack the venue of choice for a night of “joie de vivre” with friends and like-minded strangers. The film and video projections include scenes from classic and obscure French films of the era, with the iconic Brigitte Bardot prominently featured. Also shown are cult movies and early music videos, featuring French pop stars lip-syncing along with their latest hits. Throw in an old-fashioned psychedelic light show and the crowd is ready to twist the night away.
