Cocoon @ Studio SFR, Paris March 10 2011

Cocoon @ Studio SFR with OUI FM
Paris , March 10 2011 8:30PM

Even though their second album "Where the oceans end" has earn a recent Platinum award in France ( Congratulations Guys !) French pop/folk duet Cocoon is still doing showcases.
This time it is for SFR & OUI fm, the show is broadcasted live on the radio and on the internet on video.
The studio SFR is situated in the heart of Paris just behind La Madeleine church, it holds roughly 200 people. Conditions are perfect : Great Lightshow and perfect sound and it's not too loud.

We love Cocoon @ Rockerparis, their Pop/ Folk is refreshing, they guys are always smiling and making jokes between songs. We can really see that they enjoy what they are doing. It's always a pleasure to see them.The girl is cute too.
They've played an hour set in front of a dedicated young, mostly female, audience.
Usually they do have more musicians with them ( violins & cellos ) but they couldn't fit on the tiny stage so there's only a drummer and a bass player.
They've done a couple of covers including one of the duet Jay Z / Alicia Keys (here on video) and "Hey Ya" from OutKast plus songs from their albums including their hits (see setlist for details).
Very Good show.

Joy Formidable @ L'Album de la Semaine, Paris march 08 2011


setlist

Welsh Power Trio Joy Formidable is promoting thier brand new album "The Big Roar" @ this famous canal+ TV Show.
Bass player on the left, tiny blonde on vocals and guitars center stage and (very) heavy drummer on the right.
They're the new media darling in England, I guess the NME has different media-darlings every week to sell their shit and keep its costumers interested.
How many of these band have made it ? Not a lot.
This band (Joy Formidable) are very heavy and noisy but you need good songs to make it and They don't have any (good) songs, everything sounds the same.
Not everybody can be Sonic Youth.
Just Boring.

To be broadcast on Canal+ in April

Jamiroquai @ Olympia for Paul & Joe Fashion Week Autumn-Winter 2011, Paris March 07 2011

Jamiroquai secret show @ Olympia for Paul & Joe @ Fashion Week
Autumn-Winter 2011, Paris March 07 2011

Very nice day, we went to Stella Mc Cartney's fashion show this morning , Paul Mc Cartney was there once again, I think since he divorced from that greedy bitch he went to all but one of his daughter's show.

Then tonight (9:00pm) it was a celebration, it was Paul & Joe's 15 th anniversary and they celebrated it with a huge party @ Olympia.
And to celebrate it with a BANG, they hire Jamiroquai to play a private gig for the 1000 + guests.
French actresses and actors Zoé Felix , Lambert Wilson, Allison Paradis and a few others I can't remember were attending the show.
Normal guests were at the balcony and VIPs downstairs seated at tables full of drinks (champagne, vodka and soft drinks) and food. It was flowing !
Lots of waiters everywhere to provide booze and canapés to everyone.
It was a bit of a mess and it took a long time to clear the aisles as models had to go throught the tables from the front (stage) to the back of the venue.
Cool show, models were still walking the "catwalk" that Jamiroquai started their show.
The VIPs rushed to the stage and then we had a 45 min show.
Good lightning , perfect sound and very hot atmosphere down the front with lots of very sexy girls dancing.
Sorry I couldn't get the setlist but they played 8-9 songs, can't really remember exactly as we already had a few drinks.
Very good show but they left without an encore, I guess they had lots of money for this corporate show and just did what they had signed for.

Anyway they had barely left the stage that a DJ was playing some cool mixes of the JB's, Smokey Robinson, Motown artists...
More booze , more canapés and more booze and sexy girls were dancing on tables and everyone was smoking ( I thought it was banned indoors, not @ Olympia).
Designers went on stage to say hello and we had a huge cake to celebrate the 15th anniversary.

We had a GREAT time, GREAT Party !
We left early in the morning and it was still rockin' & Rollin'.....................

sweet-heart ;-)

The Opéra is splendid, we've already been here a few times for concerts or fashion shows and I'm still amazed.

Backstage with Paul & Stella

Paul did a couple of interviews but didn't stay that long backstage, he didn't even pose with his daughter for photographers making a quick exit by the side door.
