Many gigs tonight in Paris, we chose to stick with BABYSHAMBLES for their LIVE return to Paris. It's been may years, way too long. I guess we all have enough  of Peter's shambolic acoustic gigs.

We want some proper Rock 'n Roll and BABYSHAMBLES is the right band.

Jake Bugg is opening, we already saw him once @ L'Album de la Semaine TV show. He's OK, the audience likes him. Lots of beautiful girls in the audience but it seems that many people are here just to be with their friends , talking and having a drink, more than to attend a proper rock concerts.

Then we have a walk backstage, the band is ready, Peter still in his port cabin. We walk on stage with them and their entourage.
Of Course we have a perfect view, not sure but it sounds like they've played the new single ( just heard it on the BBC, it's rockin' and smokin') then some of the hits including "Fuck Forever", the last song of a VERY short set, no more than 30 min.

The band is tight and Peter in fine spirit.

Really nice show but 30 min ?!? Come on guys !!!

As soon as Pete's leaving the stage he's caught by OUi fm for a very short interview , behind the stage we can still hear the audience asking for more.But the band won't go back, too bad.

Legendary photographer Bob Gruen is seen hanging around backstage.

Peter Doherty with Babyshambles and Alan Wass @ Fontania Bar, Paris March 22 2013

Peter Doherty & Babyshambles + Alan Wass @ Fontania Bar, Paris March 22 2013

Another small gig by Peter Doherty after the one @ Bus Palladium on Tuesday, tonight it's in a creepy bar in Pigalle, his new HQ. Those bastards are charging 10 euros (with a drink) not sure if this bar has a license for that...well, not our business anyway. 

We're a bit late but just in time as Peter has just arrived, lots of people in front of the improvised stage in the tiny bar but it's not packed.

We're trying to find a good spot on the side that's when we noticed that Drew is there with Mick from Babyshambles, so this is our first babyshambles' gig in a very long time, can't remember last time we saw them. -(According to our archives probably in March 2009 when they've played a secret show @ Neo Club)-

There are a couple of amplifiers but the sound is complete crap and not very loud, Pete is intoxicated ( not a surprise) but in good spirit.
Good atmosphere ,musically that was awful but fun to attend (watch video below).

Very short set, less than 60 min.
