Le Rev is the Los Angeles area duo of C.C. Sheffield (vocals) and Nico Chiccotelis (guitar). Based in Echo Park, the group combines "Hollywood histronics and indie Eastside aesthetics" to create a gritty alt-pop sound filled with theatrical lyrics that is a bit like Blondie meets Blonde Redhead.

While gaining momentum with their Le Rev project around Southern California, the two also are becoming sought-after songwriters and producers. Most recently, C.C. co-wrote for the new Deadmau5 album, and in the past she has collaborated with Max Martin, Ladytron and Devendra Banhart. Not to be outdone, Nico is also writing with and producing the emerging NYC band GENPOP and his own solo project XXIII

Remixers Ernest & AMz turn Le Rev's crunchy new "Lucky You" up its head to create a remix that morphs from a pulsating electro pop number into a grinding dancefloor filler. I'm loving the intrumental breakdown around the 5 minute mark. That should kick your Tuesday into gear without hesitation.
