DEUS @ L'Album de la Semaine, Paris Oct 10 2011

DEUS @ L'Album de la semaine, Canal+ Paris Oct 10 2011

setlist

Heavy Pop-Rock Belgium Band DEUS is playing L'Album de la Semaine to promote their brand new album "Keep You Close".
We have the chance to hear 7 new songs before the beginning of the tour @ London's Koko on Oct 11th.
Solid pop-rock songs, the new single is the more catchy song with keyboards and a nice hook.
Last song (They did it twice) was the typical Deus song with tension building up.
They could have played a couple of their hits as an encore but overall very good gig.

Deus has done a few promotional shows these last few days, listen ( and watch) their session @ France Inter radio HERE and @ Franco-German tv show One Shot Not HERE

British sea Power @ Nouveau Casino, Paris Oct 08 2011

English band British Sea Power @ Nouveau Casino.

Not a lot of people for saturday night when the opening band is getting on stage, can't tell you their name , they were ok.

6 musicians for BSP including a girl on violin, sometimes they do have 3 guitars.
Cool pop-rock songs that can make you think of the Pixies, some are more heavy and others more pop with trumpet or piano.
It' was hard to hear the violin when 3 guitars were playing but it was a nice touch on softer songs.
Lively atmosphere in the audience with some happy jumping & pogoing, the club is now quite full though not packed.
The band is keeping the most epic songs à la Arcade Fire for the end of the 80 min set.

Very good gig, sorry no photos or videos as Patrice, our photographer, forgot his memory cards at home... so unprofessional !!!

Brett Anderson @ La Machine du Moulin Rouge, Paris Oct 07 2011

Brett Anderson @ La Machine du Moulin Rouge, Paris Oct 07 2011

Brett Anderson the lead singer from English brit-pop band Suede is back in Paris less than a year after a sold-out Elysée Montmartre with Suede.
Unfortunately he's not as popular as the band he's fronting, it's far from being full to say the least.
We're absolutely not familiar with his solo songs or with any of his material with Suede apart from a couple of songs. We never liked Brit-pop bands in the 90's.
Nevertheless we attented a good gig, not all the songs are great but he has a powerful and distinctive voice and he's a great showman.
He played two songs on the piano ( see setlist for details).
When he left the stage the audience was asking for more but it looks like La Machine had a party going on afterwards so no extra songs.

one of the best song for tonight:

Sean Lennon, The GOASTT @ Café de la Danse, Paris Oct 06 2011

We were NOT there as we attented an Oliver Peel session but a friend of mine send me this:

"Très bonne soirée hier au café de la danse.Première partie très sympa, une nana seule à la gratte (ladylike lilly), dans un style à mi-chemin entre camille et feist. elle a eu droit à 50 minutes environ.
Conçernant goastt, c'était formule accoustique, mais à 3, avec l'ajout d'un trompettiste new-york (trompettes + cor). Un peu déroutant au début, mais finalement super résultat et superbes arrangement.Sean a joué qq solos de batteries avec le trompettiste....funLe concert à duré 1h35, avec Mathieu Chedid en guest sur le dernier titre, une reprise d'hey joe. Meilleur concert de sean lennon à paris pour le moment...."

Setlist included: "Dead Meat", "Song for James", "Dark Matter, White Noise", "Jardin du Luxembourg"

Conquering Animal Sound @ Oliver Peel session #41, Paris Oct 06 2011

Conquering Animal Sound @ Oliver Peel session # 41
@ Paris , Oct 06 2011

Sniff, sniff... Last Oliver Peel session at the appartment of the Avenue Duquesne near the Eiffel Tower.
It's a mid-week session so it wasn't as packed as last saturday but still lots of people to celebrate.

Tonight it's a band, in fact a duo from Scotland: Conquering Animal Sound.
This duo have just released an album this year which had rave reviews in the press.
For once @ Oliver's it's not a folk band with banjo.
They do sound like a Scandinavian Electro-pop band, Bjork would be proud.

As you can see on Pics lots of electronic on the stage but they still do sound organic with lots of voices loops.
Refreshing ambient pop songs.

More than 80 Pics from the session @ Oliver's Flickr

Tori Amos @ Grand Rex
Paris Oct 05 2011

Tori Amos is still as popular as ever in Paris.
Le Grand Rex is sold-out ( correction : in fact No it wasn't , there were tickets left at the box office) and from the street you can see that it's beautifully decorated with some great lightning and screens introducing next shows and projections.
Le Grand Rex is a concert Hall and a cinema.

Don't miss the Première of the projection with Olivia Harrison of the Martin Scorsese documentary on George Harrison.( Sunday Oct 16, 5:00pm).

First on stage is a poor guy on piano playing us his depressing songs about love.
It wasn't bad but he should have some more up-tempo songs, feels like he was about to cry into his beer.

For Tori Amos the stage is very simple but beautiful: a grand piano and a keyboard on the left, the string section ( a quartet) on the right in the back.
Some curtains & starry night backdrop for the atmosphere and some great lightning.Let's not forget the chandelier above the stage hanging from the ceiling (see pic above)

We're not too familiar with her repertoire even though we have a couple of her albums, see below for detailed setlist, I guess she stuck to it.

She's alternating songs with the quartet and on her own playing the grand piano, the keyboard or both of them at the same time as usual with very sexy looks and poses, very sensual.
The music is very hypnotic and the voice absolutely stunning.
She has a very dedicated fan base and the atmosphere though quiet is electric, you can see it in the eyes of the audience.
There are lots of foreigners from different countries.
A show like this is hard to describe, you had to be there to feel it.
It remembers me of the show we attended at the very same hall of Anthony & The Johnsons a couple of years ago.

Pass sheet

For the first encore the first rows are rushing to the stage, the quartet is playing a song on it's own when Tori is backstage refreshing herself before coming back on stage for the second encore on her own. Check videos HERE

Metallica & Lou Reed @ L'Album de la Semaine ?

Nothing's signed yet !

Well !!! there's been some rumors that they might do Canal+ TV show L'Album de la Semaine.
It's NOT done yet, It looks like they don't know if they will play @ Le Grand Journal or maybe just give an interview...NOTHING is confirmed yet.

If they play L'Album de la Semaine it won't be in October as there are no recordings for this month but more likely in November ... if it ever happen.
