Kasabian @ Football Tournament & Sony Store Paris June 3rd 2009
Kasabian Football Tournament @ Urban Football in Puteaux
Sony music France organised a Football Tournament with the lads just outside Paris in a nice complex.
I was there too late to see Kasabian playing but it almost turned into a complete disaster as the drummer hurt his ankle and had to see a doctor immediately.
Too bad the band is opening tomorrow for Oasis in front of 30 000 people but he should be OK.
Lots of journalists ( Les Inrocks , Rock & Folk ) and record company executives , the winning team was the one from a Football magazine " So Foot" .
Kasabian came back , minus the drummer, to shoot some penalty against the winning team... and lost.
The sponsor was offering a tv set and Marion , photographer for Rock& Folk, won the lot.
Lucky bitch ;-) the tv is probably worth a 1000 quid.

Marion won the lottery
En route to the countryside ?
Then we all left to the George V avenue to the Sony Store where Kasabian signed cds to a 100 fans and then we had an acoustic set in the basement.
The lads were really nice and chatty to everyone.
The atmosphere was really relax and things went smoothly thanks to the organisation.
Really cool to hear these songs in an acoustic form as I wasn't really convinced when they played the new songs a week ago @ L' Album de la semaine for Canal+
Setlist is below for an half an hour set.

Marquee & David Walters
The show started too early tonight so i couldn't see Caroline Weeks playing , i was just on time for David Walters.
The guy has skills , he's on his own playing guitar, percussion & lots of samples that he's actionning with his feet to nice effects, but I'm not really fan of his Electro-African-reggae style but he has talent.
The sold-out audience was reticent at the beginning but he won them over in the end.
Natasha Khan & Bat for Lashes have released a new cd with much more electronic than the first one and I really don't like all this electronic shit.
Caroline Weeks doesn't play with BfL anymore .
Now there's a drummer, a female guitar-bass piano player ( Charlotte ), a guy on the computer & Keyboard and Natasha on vocals & Keyboards ( guitar on one song ).
She still has her charming voice but the music is less interesting than it used to be, too much electro for my taste.
She's leaving the stage after just 50 min, Come on baby !
75 min in all that's a bit short.
One more thing that I don't understand is why all those bands are playing in an almost complete dark.
You're ON a stage , Why don't you switch on the lights for fuck's sake.

Great Lake Swimmers + Amélie @ L' international
Paris May 26th 2009
Amélie
Amélie
After seeing Kasabian @ Canal+ we headed to the , now very trendy , L' International in Ménilmontant.
First time I was getting there. Nice place there is a bar and downstairs is the stage where bands are playing.
First is a funny blonde girl Amélie with a guitarist and drummer , she has a high voice and is acting funny. Nice set.
Then we have Great Lake Swimmers , I have never heard of that Canadian band before and it was a really interesting discovery.
There is a girl on keyboard and backing vocals , a drummer , a guitar and banjo player , a upright bass player and the singer-songwriter .
Typical canadian folkies with the shirt and beard ( except fot the girl of course ).
They made me think of a folk version of Grandaddy with nice harmony vocals and cool songs.

Kasabian @ L' Album de le semaine Canal+ May 26th 2009
After seeing the Plastic Heroes at the Gibert Joseph store in St Michel we headed north to the shitty Plaine St Denis to see Kasabian playing new songs in front of a selected audience of less then 200 for the Canal+ tv show "L' Album de la semaine".
First time i saw Kasabian I was very impressed it was at the Rock en Seine festival and I didn't know anything about them at all.
Today they're promoting their brand new cd ( they were yesterday at the Trabendo club ) so they're playing mostly new songs.
Usually bands playing live are much more better than on cd but I tonight I thought that Kasabian are much more powerful on cd than live.
There's something missing, maybe more guitars or more backing Vocals.
Even " Shoot the runner" was weak.
So it was good show but it could have been better.
I Guess it's a band you have to see in a festival when 30 000 people are singing along to their songs.

St Michel in Paris May 26th 2009
First of 3 shows for me today with London band Plastic Heroes at 5:30 PM.
They've already played a couple of times in Paris already and they're here to promote their new cd.
Nice 30 min+ acoustic show with this rock'n roll band , it's hard to judge a band playing acoustic when they are usually rocking with electric guitars.
The show went really well , I'm sure afetr hearing the songs that they're digging the Stones and 60's rock band.
Hope to see them soon rocking and rolling at full steam..

May 25th 2009
Nothing really new, there will be a Stooges album with James Williamson , who's now retired from sony corporation, on guitar replacing the late Ron Ashton.
There will be no future collaboration with Bowie ...and so on.
Then it was time to sign some CDs .
Iggy as always is chatty and smiling and funny ... a perfect gentleman well ...no so perfect as he's saying FUCK at every sentence.
The whole thing lasted for a couple of hours.
Iggy Pop in Paris this Week
Starting from today @ Fnac St Lazare for an instore signing session @ 6:oo pm
The main event will be his private gig for France Inter on May 28th broadcasted live from the Studio 105 @ 9: 00 PM sharp.
This is a real treat as Iggy has decided NOT to tour for this record.
See our previous review of Iggy Pop's 2 days of recording of La Musicale ( click here for the part 1 ) for Canal+ ( click here for the part 2 ) in March.

Erica Buettner @ Oliver Peel Session # 6
Somewhere in Paris
Erica & the family cat relaxing to her music
Oliver Peel ( & Cécile ) are welcoming us once again in their lovely appartment facing the Eiffel Tower to attend American singer -songwriter Erica Buettner 's private show.
Erica & the family cat relaxing to her music
Just read what the Blogotheque is saying about her HERE ( sorry in french ).
Charming young lady , beautiful voice , playing both guitar and banjo ( though not at the same time ;-).
Erica gaves us a emotional concert with her songs and a couple of covers, one by Elliott Smith and a surprising song by french artist Marie Laforet sung in French ; but the best is to see and hear by yourself by watching the video below : Isn't she nice ?
Things were really relax after the show with a couple of glasses of French Rosé. Won't mention any names.
We ended the evening with some al dente spicy spaghetti.
A sunday that felt like going to the countryside for the weekend.
When 's the next session ?
A video HERE with Erica on Banjo
