Alternative rock group based in Lyon, France

AFFECTION PLACE are an alternative rock group based in Lyon, France, born out of the international New-Wave / Post-Punk music scene of the 80’s. The original formation played from 1979 to 1981 performing many concerts in France and Switzerland and touring with groups such as Magazine, the Cramps, A Certain Ratio, Marquis de Sade and many more.

Since 2019, the band has filmed music videos and performed numerous concerts with much music press interest. Affection Place formed a close relationship with keyboard player and producer Dave Formula from the band Magazine/Visage. Dave produced and features on 4 tracks recorded during lockdown.

In 2022 Affection Place recorded an album Smouldering Fire in Dave Formula’s studio (The Sweet Factory) in the UK and is available now on CD/LP/DIGITAL and all STREAMING platforms.
