Around 300 guests and competition winners for this showcase to promote the new album by Maroon 5
They are not too popular over here, they were supposed to play Bercy (17000 capacity) a couple of years ago but the show was cancelled, they will be playing @ Casino de Paris ( 2000 capacity) on March 2nd 2011.
If I can remember well I saw them @ Trabendo in Paris but i'm not sure.
The music is OK, very radio orientated for a mix of pop-rock with a bit of R'n B.
The kind of music for 17 year old girls.
Things have been done nicely as there is a free drinks reception before the gig, lots of very sexy girls in the audience.
First we have a French shitty pop-rock band Hangar for a few songs, they've just been signed to Polydor, as they're from the south west coast of France , their record Cie dressed them as if they were surfers coming back from the beach ( ridiculous)
Then it's time for Marron 5 to play a 40 min set of new songs (?) a a couple of hits at the end (see setlist).
Good show but too radio orientated for me.
Then we went to see a few friends to make sure we could make it for GUNS N ROSES' secret show @ L' Arc club.
