The bewitched Hands @ L'Album de la Semaine, Paris Nov 09 2010 8:00 PM

The Bewitched Hands @ L'Album de la Semaine
Paris Nov 09 2010 8:00 PM

Back into the Canal+ studio of the Plaine St Denis near Paris to see another french band, this time they rock. Seeing two French bands in two days I've probably never done that in my entire life.
They played the Festival des Inrocks @ Zénith opening for LCD Soundsystem in front of an almost empty Zénith ( less than 2000 people ) yesterday.
I've heard good things about this band and yeah they were right , very cool rock band between The Pixies, Brian Johnstown Massacre or Grandaddy.
Great sound with 2 guitars + Keys or with 3 guitars plus a girl on backing vocals for some high harmonies.
Cool set and they're singing in English, good point.

Oliver Peel has a brother in Scotland making Whiskey.

Agnes Obel @ Fnac Montparnasse, Paris Nov 09 2010

Agnes Obel @ Fnac Montparnasse
Paris, Nov 09 2010 5:30 PM

Agnes Orel ( not her real name) is from Danmark and she's living in Berlin.
She's looking very stern on the picture of her first album, typically German protestant not really the kind you want to have a laugh with... in fact she's really nice completely the opposite even thought you can hear by the way that she's playing the piano she had a classical training.
She performed a short set of 6 songs starting with an instrumental on the piano.
Voice of an angel.
Too bad that the girl playing the cello with her wasn't playing to add an extra flavor.
Very good set.

Here's a video:

Enjoy! sorry for the sound.

Madjo @ L'Album de la Semaine for Canal+ , Paris Nov 8 2010

Madjo @ L'Album de la Semaine, Canal+
Paris Nov 8 2010

French female singer Madjo is promoting her first album "Trapdoor". (click to listen to)
She will be playing The Maroquinerie club on Nov 16.
She's on acoustic guitar ( and electric for a couple of songs) with a beatboxer-percussionist, a girl on lead-backing vocals and a guy on bass and lead-backing vocals & handclappings.
Soulfull voice, singing mostly in English (we like it ) and a couple of songs in French ( we don't like it) Music between folk ballads & blues-soul, a kind of soft Moriarty.
Interesting but the songs should be more up-tempo, a bit too slow for me
They ended the set with a nice rendition of LeadBelly's " Where did you sleep last night" (also covered and popularized by Nirvana ) which sums up perfectly the kind of music they're playing.

Gregory & The Hawk + Les Shelleys + Snailhouse @ Oliver Peel session, Paris Nov 07 2010

Gregory & The Hawk + The Shelleys + Snailhouse
@ Oliver Peel session, Paris Nov 07 2010

Gregory And The Hawk is Meredith Godreau

Couldn't attend the last Oliver Peel session on Oct 24, I went to see Robert Plant @ Palais des Sports.(click for review setlist, Pics & video)
Glad to be back, the place is packed and tonight there are 3 artists:
First to play is the tiny Meredith from New York aka Gregory & The Hawk, she's on her own with an acoustic or a small harp, she has a tiny voice and is playing... guess what ? Folk music
Cool starter.

some of the faces and All stars @ Oliver's

After some much needed sandwiches and drinks we have the duet Les Shelleys from Los Angeles with Tom Brosseau & Angela Correa.
I already saw Tom live in Paris when he opened for PJ Harvey/ John Parish @ Bataclan. for two shows (Here's the second one) in 2009
They're doing re-workings of american traditionnal songs à la Franck & Nancy or June Carter & Johnny Cash with just an acoustic guitar for Tom and hand-clapping for Angela, both singing great harmony vocals.

Les Shelleys

my new assistant ,who's trying to hide behind the table, is improving everyday (far right)

Snailhouse

Headlining is Canadian band Snailhouse with guitar player Mike Feuerstack from the Indie rock band Wooden Star.
Snailhouse is more of a solo project by Mike than a real band, he's playing acoustic tonight with a percussionist and a bass player. Nice harmony vocals
Typical Folk-rock even though their record is much more pop-rock sounding a bit like Tom Petty , absolutely not obvious on video here
Great show

Then still more food and drinks, Ollie & Sarah played a song for the "Aftershow"

Sofia Coppola Master-class for "Somewhere" @ Fnac Montparnasse, Paris Nov 6 2010

Sofia Coppola @ Fnac Montparnasse
Paris Nov 06 2010

Sofia Coppola is doing promotion for her new movie "Somewhere" with Stephen Dorff.
The Fnac Store organized a master-class , it was invit' only and as it's saturday afternoon the place is rammed.
A shame we couldn't see the movie before that meeting, it will be out in January 2011, strange to hear her talking about it when you don't know anything about it.
It was very interesting though.
She stayed for an hour, answering questions from the audience about her career at the end.
Cool !

I've found this lovely Beatles-KISS artwork on a wall of the Rue Dauphine @ Carrefour Buci Paris VI.
