 Very intimate gig with Asaf Avidan in the DailyMotion studio with Ouifm in the heart of the 6th District, two minutes walk from Gérard Depardieu's house.
No more than 30 people, everybody seems to know each other, we're all seating at the very back, I guess they could have done a better setting with the audience seating on sofas down the front and the cameras in the back as we were just a handful attending.
Asaf performed 5 songs on his own and with his band , all acoustic, songs were stripped down and they sounded good this way. It lasted for 25min+.
After we had a 30 min+  interview.
That was our second show with Asaf this week after the gig he did @ studio 104 @ Maison de la Radio (link with pics and video below).
Very nice event.
Should be online very soon on Oui FM and Daily Motion ( links above)

Petit concert vraiment intime dans les locaux de DailyMotion pour OUIFM dans le 6e arrondissement , juste à coté de chez Gérard Depardieu. Très peu de monde , pas plus de 30 personnes qui semblent toutes se connaitrent. Asaf est en train de répéter pendant que nous attendons à la réception.
Le studio est assez petit, c'est cool, mais la disposition n'est pas top, il a des canapés devant nous pour l'interview, et la scène est au fond.
Concert acoustique d'une petite demi-heure pour 5 titres, seul ou avec son groupe. Puis interview d'une demi-heure, Asaf sera de dos, dommage.
Franchement très sympa, les nouveaux titres passent vraiment bien en acoustique.
On a rarement assisté à un concert aussi intime dommage que la disposition laisse un peu à désirer surtout qu'on avait les spots, situés derrière la scène, en pleine poire.
Dire que des chanceux ont pu voir Billy Corgan dans ces conditions , j'en mange mon chapeau.

Asaf Avidan @ France Inter, studio 104, Paris, Jan 09 2015

First concert of the year 2015 for ROCKERPARIS

See ya there

Asaf Avidan playing a free concert at the new studio 104 @ Maison de la Radio for a France Inter broadcast (Live on air). Beautiful place with a capacity of 800+, all seated.
He's here to promote his new album  "Gold Shadow" to be out on Jan 12.
That's his first concert with his new band to promote new album and he's playing 10 new songs tonight for the very first time in front of an audience.

The concert is introduced by none other that the big boss of Radio France as we're in the middle of difficult circumstances with the terrorist attacks ( the Police has just raided and killed terrorists a few hours before the concert), you have to have in mind that Asaf is from Israel...

Anyway... Asaf is making his way to the stage with his band including 3 sexy girls on guitar, keys and percussion. + two guys on bass and drums.
Mostly pop-folk songs with cabaret influences... That's OK not really the kind of music that we're usually grooving to.
He has a high pinched voice that sometimes can get on your nerves but he's a good showman playing the part like an actor would do.
He did a couple of songs on his own (here's one on video below)

 

 Le mois de janvier est traditionnellement extrêmement calme, juste après les fêtes, surtout la première quinzaine. Heureusement pour faire la promotion du nouvel album de Asaf Avidan,  France Inter a la bonne idée d'organiser un concert au nouveau studio 104 de la Maison de la Radio. La salle est superbe d'une capacité d'environ 800 places assises.

C'est le premier concert d'Asaf avec le nouveau line-up de son groupe (5 musiciens dont 3 jolies filles), la quasi-intégralité de son nouvel album qui sortira dans quelques jours est interprété ce soir. Pas de changements radicaux avec son premier disque: du folk rock gentillet fortement influencé par le cabaret. La voix est toujours aussi haut perché.Le bonhomme sait tenir une scène, il aura quelques mots pour évoquer l'actualité brulante.
Pour le rappel on aura tout de même droit à quelques "vieux" titres.
Concert très sympa dans l'ensemble.

He had a few words about what happened in Paris recently without doing too much which was a good thing.
Encore were songs from the first album which get a better reception from the audience.
Overall good show

Asaf is promoting his new album with some more showcases in Paris, after playing L'Album de la Semaine for Canal+ last week , Taratata tv show for France 2 and a showcase for Le Mouv' radio (click on link for podcast) yesterday night at the Maison de la Radio in Paris.

Very cool 8-9 songs set with Asaf alone on acoustic guitar performing songs from the new album, many girls in the audience, lots of people were already queuing 30 min before 6:00pm.
He was in a chatty mood between songs and even joked about the fact that he sounded like a girl.
After his performance , he signed cds for fans
40 min show + 20 min signing
