Nouveau Casino, Paris Jan 27 2014, 11:00pm

Album de la Semaine TV show for Canal+: 

Setlist for Canal+ above

JBT is back with a new album, he's promoting it with lots of press :interviews and live performances, tonight he's @ canal+ to play a short 7 songs set of mostly new songs.

I can't remember the last time we saw him on a stage, probably a few years. Same pop-folk-rock lots of nice songs and a bit of wild distorted sounding guitar on...acoustic guitar.

Great new songs. Link to the audio recording HERE

Album de la semaine du 08/02 - John Butler Trio

Nouveau Casino, Paris Jan 27 2014, 11:00pm

We then rushed to the Nouveau Casino club at the other side of Paris for the 10:00pm show. It will be a late start, lots of people are queuing on the pavement outside (see video here) to get in, its freezing outside.It's past 30 and the doors are still closed.

The band is getting on stage around 11:00pm, the gig is sold-out so is the Trianon in May, a new show had just been added @ Olympia theatre in July.

As usual John is smiling, we have lots of new song which are sounding very good indeed. Both his sidemusicians are leaving the stage mid-show , John is sitting down and we have a 12 min long instrumental on acoustic guitar that reminds me of the Led Zep acoustic break during their concerts with Jimmy Page on the twelve stings. Very cool.

The concert couldn't be complete without "Zebra" and the audience participation (he also played it @ Canal+ a couple of hours before).

People complained a bit when John said they were about to play the last song for tonight. I guess he was a bit tired with all the promo he did today.

Show ended with "Livin' in the city" (here on video below) after 75 min.

Nice set.

WARPAINT @ L'Album de la Semaine, Canal+ Paris Jan 21 2014

WARPAINT @ L'Album de la Semaine, Canal+ Paris Jan 21 2014

WARPAINT played a sold-out show yesterday night @ Trabendo club in Paris, from what friends told me , the sound wasn't that good and the band wasn't very tight, can't blame them it was the first show on the Tour.

Tonight they're playing famous Canal+ TV show, They do have a lot of press over here so I guess I should check these media darlings. I have to say I've never heard anything , I don't even know what kind of music they're playing. So no preconceived mind about this all girl band.

First song is starting with a long instrumental intro that is sounding a bit like the early The Cure, then we have ambient songs. All the girls are singing lead vocals (apart from the drummer) and doing backing vocals with lots of effects on their voices.
Can't tell that they do have a hit single out there as all their songs are very "ambient" with atmospheric voices and guitars
It's sounding like a English Post New Wave band from the 80's.
Hard to believe that some of the press is calling this "a Rock band", its NOT.
Not bad but not really the stuff that we like, we're more into Rock and wild guitars.
Good show.

Les Revelations des Victoires de la Musique 2014 @ Studio 105, 

Maison de la Radio, France Inter, Jan 18 2014

To be broadcasted on Jan 20 9:00pm on France Inter

Feat. HollySiz, La Femme, Christine & The Queens, Albin de la Simone, Cats on Trees...

 Hollysiz

 Albin de la Simone

We arrived a bit late on this saturday evening so we've missed La Femme playing which was a good thing as we couldn't stand that crap, we've already saw them @ Olympia for Pression live a few months ago.

Each band is playing two songs and then there is a short interview with host Valli so that technicians can change the set for the next band.
First band for us was HollySiz with actress Cécile Cassel singing, electro pop band, not our thing but enjoyable.
Albin de la Simone, that's his 4th or 5th record so he joked a bit about this industry "discovering" him and considering him as an "revelation". French Pop-rock: OK

 Cats on Trees

Cats on Trees were the best band of the show: very nice pop rock with a girl on piano and vocals and a drummer.
We also had a Rap band , I Can't remember their name , crap but they were good in their field.
Christine & The Queens: don't know if it's a novelty band, in fact she's on her own on vocals with pre-recorded tapes, fun but the music sucks badly.

 Christine & The Queens

Even though most of the bands were not our drug of choice it was an interesting show, funny to hear most of them singing in English and using lots of technology to support them  with loops, samples and pre-recorded sounds and music.It's the 21st Century baby !!!

There's a long way to reach England or the US level of up and coming bands.
