Kid harpoon & Etikal Lab @ L' International Paris Nov 8th 2009

Kid Harpoon & Etikal Lab
@ L' International Paris Nov 8th 2009

Where to go tonight ? Les Inrocks Fest or L' International , we chose the latter , who wants to see Sliimy @ Les Inrocks ? NOT me.

First time in years that I'm not going AT ALL at the Inrocks Fest.
No interesting bands this year or I've already seen them recently ( Ebony Bones last week ).

Kid Harpoon is on his own with his acoustic guitar for a powerful set , 20 min no more. His voice was fucked up so he cut the performance short ending it with a Leonard Cohen cover.
Very different from the music that is played on his Myspace.
Then it's time for trip-hop french band Etikal Lab , nice set but the music is not really my cup of tea. They do have a sexy singer though. ( not obvious on the pic but she is ).

Steven Tyler NOT QUITTING Aerosmith

UPDATED NOV 12th:
Perry has told Billboard that Tyler wanted a two-year break from the band – but he wants to keep going.
"Aerosmith wants to work," Perry said. "We're gonna work and we're gonna do something – I'm not exactly sure what yet, but the band's too good to let it sit around. We're not going to wait for Steven."
The guitarist added that Tyler's appearance at his solo gig was a complete surprise. "He was really the last person I expected," he revealed.

EXCLUSIVE:
STEVEN TYLER HAS LEFT AEROSMITH

A few days days ago Aerosmith were considering replacing Steven Tyler with a new vocalist, according to guitarist Brad Whitford. In a new interview with Classic Rock magazine, Whitford has revealed that the band are to hold meetings – probably without Tyler – in the next fortnight to discuss their future. One direction being considered is to replace Tyler with a new singer, Whitford confirmed. He added that for Aerosmith 's recent gigs, Tyler had been given a separate dressing room to the rest of the band. ( Source NME )

More from the Aerosmith camp:

Steven Tyler has quit Aerosmith, according to the band's guitarist Joe Perry.
Guitarist Perry has revealed his pal has left the rock group after its performance as part of the Formula One racing season's final weekend in Abu Dhabi last weekend.

He tells the Las Vegas Sun, "Steven quit as far as I can tell. I don't know any more than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don't know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don't know."
But Perry is determined to continue with Aerosmith, even if Tyler refuses to return.

Arctic Monkeys
& Eagles of Death Metal
@ Zénith Paris Nov 6th 2009
Pigeons of Shit Metal

Second show for the Arctic Monkeys @ Zénith ( 6500 capacity ) , once again it's SOLD-OUT, well almost there are still seats left at the back.It sounds so nice to say it's sold-out .

Screens

Eagles of death Metal are opening, how many times times have these guys been playing in Paris this year ? 5-6 times can't remember.
Still the same shit , they're funny but the music sucks, at least they're funny.
They should change their name to Pigeons of Shit Metal , as Axl Rose famously called them after kicking them of the tour after 2 shows, it would suit them better.
Time ( 9:15 PM ) for the Modern heroes to take the stage , young girls are already wet when Artic Monkeys show their faces with a first slow song then it's rocking.

Can't really say that this band is the best LIVE band , the music is really fresh , rock and with the last album they're climbing the ladder of credibility, well they already had it with the previous records.
Much more maturity now and they do have an additional player on keys and guitar.
The only problem is that the singer seems to be bored to death on stage or maybe he took too many downers. He seems as if he's in slow motion.
Good 90 min show but just above average.

Let's Party !!!
