Two Door Cinema Club + The Aerial @ Studio SFR, Paris Sept 12 2012
The Aerial
First on stage in this tiny space near La Madeleine is The Aerial, we already saw them opening for Paul Personne for a free show @ the 3rd district Town Hall this July.
Up-tempo electro-pop-rock that all the kids like, not really our stuff but they were OK.

The first time we heard of them was when they opened for Phoenix @ Olympia on March 22 2010, we were not there but they did a showcase the afternoon at the Fnac Montparnasse store and played a 4-song acoustic set.
They came back later that year for a sold-out show @ La Cigale and @ the Rock en Seine festival on August 28 2010 in front of a huge audience on the second stage.
It's one of those bands that are playing the same kind of music as The falls or Vampire Weekend, lots of up-tempo songs with a disco beat and some African influences, well... it's less obvious than for Vampire Weekend for the African influences.
They have a couple of very catchy tunes but everything seems to sound a bit the same in the end.
Nevertheless they did a powerful & enjoyable show.
