Ebony Bones @ L' Album de la Semaine
Paris Nov 2nd 2009

Ebony Bones is the new media darling in Paris , there's a real buzz for this band for the last months.
They've played the Rock en Seine festival in August and they will play Les Inrocks festival in a few days.
I've never heard their music but I know that this English band is very colourful.
It is indeed , first there are ten in the band and all dressed in the most colourful clothes you can think of.
The music is very lively with some heavy drums ( there are two drummers ) like being trapped at the Notting hill Carnaval.
You can't help but dance and the black female singer is a real entertainer.
Too bad they only played 5 songs ( the last one being instrumental ).

See ya tomorrow on the same TV set for Sweethead, Troy Van Leeuven 's new band ( He's from Queens Of The Stone Age so it's gonna fucking rock sa mère )

Rodeo Massacre, Nat Jenkins & Dan smith
@ Le Scopitone Paris Oct 31st 2009

Dan Smith

Saturday night at new club Le Scopitone ( former Paris Paris ) to see 3 bands i've never heard of before ( invit courtesy of Philippe ).
The guest list is as long as my dick ( and it is very long ) and there are only 20 people max inside at 9 PM ( remember it's saturdaaaay ).

Dan Smith is first on the tiny stage alone on piano creating loops and samples and playing over it , a performance in itself.
Then we have Nat jenkins a funny looking guy ( well for the frenchies as he's looking like French singer Michel Sardou 20 years ago ) playing indie/folk/rock with his band.

Nat Jenkins

Rodeo Massacre watched by Ludwig

Last on stage, in front of a more compact audience, is Rodeo Massacre, these guys and the lovely blonde on vocals have probably listen to all The doors , The Seeds and Grace lick 's records to death before forming a band.
Cool psychedelia for a short set no encore.
