Benjamin Biolay @ Fnac Montparnasse, Paris Nov 30 2012

Benjamin Biolay @ Fnac Montparnasse, Paris Nov 30 2012

French singer  Benjamin Biolay is promoting his latest album by playing a small acoustic show @ Fnac Montparnasse on this friday night. We are a bit late and... and it's packed, impossible to get in. Impossible is NOT Rockerparis so we managed to get in a nd get a good spot on the side.
I've never really paid attention to what he's doing and heard any of his songs and in fact it was much better than expected. Can't be bad with so evident Serge Gainsbourg influences.
Should listen to his records one day.

The only time we saw Benjamin Biolay on a stage was for the play Pop'Pea @ theatre du Chatelet last May (also featuring Carl Barat, Marc Almond among others) and the poor sucker was ridiculous singing English so was the play.

Garbage @ Zénith, Paris Nov 22 2012

 Garbage @ Zénith, Paris Nov 22 2012

see ya there tonight

Gargabe is back in Paris just a few months after playing a sold-out show at the Olympia theatre (on May 16), tonight is a different story, it's a small zénith (3000 capacity) and it's far from being full.
We have two support bands: first is SUCCESS, we didn't see them as we were still outside, then Pony Hoax that was ok. After a long intermission GARBAGE is finally playing on the very simple stage, a huge backdrop , two keyboards on each side.
Last time we saw Garbage was @ L'Album de la semaine for Canal+ on May 15 promoting the latest album and the day after for a signing session @ Fnac store. Can't say that the new songs sound very good as there are too many electro-effects on them, it's ruining everything, the reviews have been very bad for the new album.
Of course the band is playing all the hits but there's something missing, I don't know maybe I'm not interested anymore in that kind of music. All my friends are telling me that they've done a great show but I'm not convinced at all.
The thing that I'm wondering: how do they get such a big sound with just two guitars ?
Good show just above average

SETLIST:

1. Control
2. I Think I'm Paranoid
3. Shut Your Mouth
4. Why Do You Love Me
5. Hammering in My Head
6. Queer
7. Stupid Girl
8. Automatic Systematic Habit
9. #1 Crush
10. The One
11. Special
12. Blood for Poppies
13. Cherry lips
14. Battle in me
15. Cup of coffee
16. Push it
17. Vow
18. You look so fine------------
19. When i grow up
20. The world is not enough
21. Only happy when it rains-------------
22. "Duke song"

Motorhead + Anthrax @ Zénith, Paris Nov 21 2012

Good show by MOTORHEAD
A bit short: 80 min
as usual lightning is complete crap, a nightmare if you have to take pics, sound is a bit messy and too loud.

in fact after such a fantastic set by Anthrax , it was a bit of a let down.
