Cinémathèque originally formed in Roanoke, VA, in 2011. The main goal was to have an outlet for producing and performing a wide array of cinematic music influenced by niche genres such as surf rock, exotica, spaghetti westerns, Ethiopian jazz, and Afro-Beat.

Cinémathèque is a surf rock and exotica dance band that comes to life with unique world rhythms and familiar themes on guitar, keys, bass, drums, horns, and aux percussion.
