Another busy day for ROCKERPARIS & friends, we went to check the Tour de France arriving in Paris, as they were riding nearby our home sweet home. It looks like they were late so we waited for an hour and we saw them less than 20 seconds. I don't understand how can people travel long distance and wait a whole day for that.
We wanted to go to the nearby Cinématheque for the Stanley Kubrick exhibition that is closing at the end of the month, we left as we didn't have the courage to wait in line for an hour to get tickets, we'll go later this week.

We did a bit of sightseeing like tourists and then headed to the Hotel de Ville for the last day of the Festival Fnac Live. Several bands were playing everyday from July 21 to 24. Free fest
Today is the last day.
We arrived just in time for French singer Florent Marchet, enjoyable chanson française.
We missed new sensation Selah Sue ( we saw her @ Album de la Semaine Canal+ tv show in May ) who was playing earlier as we were having diner at a nearby restaurant.

Much more people are here today mostly for former lead singer of french rock band Rita Mitsuko: Catherine Ringer who has released a solo album a few months ago.
We also saw her @ Canal+ tv show L' Album de la Semaine in May.

Cool set between pop-electro-chanson Française & rock.
Nice ending with Rita Mitsuko's "c'est comme ça " here on video.

"C'est comme ça":

Amy Winehouse, death of a star

It's better to remember Amy Winehouse with her show @ Zénith in Paris on Oct 20 2007 than her last performance in Belgrade this year:


We were lucky @ Rockerparis to attend her very first concert in Paris @ L'Album de la Semaine tv show in front of less than 200 people for Canal+ on Jan 29 2007.
At the time she was unknown, 6 months later she was a superstar.
She also performed a private short set @ Bobino club in Paris on June 28 2007.

Another day, another free gig @ Hotel de Ville, we had a quick look as we had a busy day with the "marathon Photo".
First artist on stage was French pop singer Luce : well not our cup of tea so we left for a nearby restaurant and came back for former AS Dragon lead singer Natacha Le Jeune's new band Oh La La ( any relation with The Faces ?!?).
Maybe not as good as As Dragon but enjoyable. Nice cover of a Run DMC song.
We couldn't stay for the other bands : Brigitte & Mlle K, sorry !

Marathon Photo Fnac Paris Plages July 23 2011

Marathon Photo Fnac Paris Plage July 23 2011

our Pics for each subject : (1) far left, (2) center, (3) far right

Fnac store is organizing a "Marathon Photo" in Paris which is a competition : by team of two, I was with my "assistant" Julie F., we were given a subject every two hours and we had to bring back a couple of pictures for each subject.

Subject 1) "j'ai 10 ans" (I'm 10 years old)
Subject 2) "Padam padam" ( Edith Piaf song)
Subject 3) "Sous les pavés" ( Underneath the pavement)

(3) far left , photo session on Paris Plages (not part of the competition)

even the cat is having a look at these hot foxes

Lots of walking in the streets of Paris from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM but that was fun especially when there is a photo session for bikinis. I won't tell you that I didn't enjoy it.

some more from our walk in Paris

Amy Winehouse 1983-2011 RIP

Amy Winehouse has been found dead in her flat in Camden, London this afternoon.
RIP
so sad, she probably had a miserable life.
Only 27 like Brian Jones, Jim Morrison, Kurt Kobain...

Christophe @ Festival Fnac Live @ Parvis Hotel de Ville, Paris July 22 2011

CHRISTOPHE @ Festival Fnac Live , Parvis Hotel de Ville
Paris July 22 2011

Too busy to check the other bands on the bill for this free show in front of the Hotel de Ville in the heart of Paris.
French singer Christophe is headlining, we arrived a couple of minutes after the end of the previous band's set and all youngsters are leaving.
Christophe is getting on stage just before 11:00pm with a piano player on his right and a guitar player on his left who's also in charge of keys & electronic effects.
Well when he's not playing his hits , he had a few many years ago, this pop-rock-electro music is ... boring to death.
Curfew at midnight, very average show.

Moriarty + Aaron @ Festival Fnac Live @ Parvis Hotel de Ville, Paris July 22 2011

Moriarty + Aaron @ Festival Fnac Live Day 1
Parvis Hotel de Ville, Paris July 21 2011

Every year in July we have some free concerts, 2nd year in front of the Hotel de Ville in Paris, it used to be nearby by the river but I guess the location was getting too small for the crowd as it was successful. It has lost its charm but there is twice more people.
We get there to see Moriarty as it was running a bit late ( and we were early) we catch Asaf Avidan & the Mojos' last two songs. That was OK

We like Moriarty's country-Folk -Rock, they did a short 45 min set.
they have some goods songs and when they're not goofing around too much they are very enjoyable.
Nice gig.

After a short break, we have French band Aaron, the singer's attracting all the lovely girls down the front and we won't complain.
We just heard their single on the radio, it's OK

At last we have a French band that is working à l'Americaine : They are singing in English , they pay attention to their look ( meaning they don't dress like shit), They have a great light show and the singer knows how to play with the audience.

Musically they are like a French Archive or Coldplay: not really the kind of music we're listening to but they were good.

We had a good time it was free and it's almost walking distance from home.
What more could we ask ?
