One song live for this Canal+ tv show to promote Charlotte's new album.

There will pe a private meeting with her @ Fnac Montparnasse in Paris on Dec 10th 8:00 PM, tickets were given out a few days ago so it's probably sold-out by now.

KISS @ Hellfest 2010 + full line-up

Hellfest 2010 :
KISS & TWISTED SISTER

Simmons is already spitting blood

Everybody knew that KISS would headline the Hellfest 2010.
It is now confirmed.
What's funny is that Twisted Sister will also play Hellfest for their first show in France since...1986 (April 24th ) @ Casino de Paris.
Remember Jay Jay French ( TS ) played with one of the first line-up of KISS in the early 70's.

As you can see, apart from KISS & Twisted Sister, lots of shitty bands

Oh Yeah Forget to tell you that IRON MAIDEN will headline next year Rock en Seine 2010 Festival.

Tchiki Boum + Performers @ La Suite Paris Nov 27th 2009

Tchiki Boum & Performers
@ La Suite Paris Nov 27th 2009

? & Performer

Thank god it's Friday, but it's friday or saturday every night @ Rockerparis.
Anyway there was no gig planned tonight for us , so Mathilde took me to a squatt (an underground parking lot ) in the 13th district @ La Suite ( no relation with the posh club Av. George V ).
We also had the choice to go to see a screening on Johnny Thunders we prefered LIVE music to a dead Body.

First on was a shitty band , dressed funny but the music was crap.
Then we had Tchiki Boom, cool rock-surf band with some dancers ( see pic )

Tchiki Boum

Then it was time for a naked performer to escape his prison of plastic. ( Pic above )
As we were about to leave the premises, we saw a couple playing & singing a music I hate , 80's new wave but the lyrics to their songs were so funny ( talking about sex ) that we stayed for their performance as they didn't only play but acted too. ( see below )
Don't know why so many performers need to show their dicks and assholes to the audience at least they could be girls.

getting spanked with whipped cream
Fun evening.

Rickie Lee Jones @ FIP Radio France Paris Nov 26th 2009

Rickie Lee Jones @ FIP Radio France
Paris Nov 26th 2009

Just two days after playing an almost 3 Hour show @ Bobino (click for review Pics & video).
Rickie Lee Jones is once again in Paris for the third time , she played tv show One Shot Not on Nov 19th ( click for review and setlist ).

This time she's playing a LIVE radio show for Fip @ Radio France.
Once again conditions are perfect : only 250 people seated in confortable sofas like in a movie theatre.
Before getting on stage we could hear her interview ( recorded in another studio ).
The show was roughly the same with the exception that she "only" played for 11o min.
The setlist is a bit different ( No "Rebel Rebel" to start with ) but we had a great version of" Chuck E's in love" even though she messed it up.
Same band with Rob Wasserman on bass ( he's playing on a few records by Lou Reed and Elvis Costello ) & Sal Bernardi on guitar.
People have the power...

SETLIST : ( from Lucy in the web website )
1- Easy Money
2- Weasel And The White Boys
3- Chuck Is In Love
4- Last Chance Texaco
5- Sailor Song
6- Beat Angel
7- A Tree On Allenford
8- It Must Be Love
9- Ghostyhead / His Jeweled Floor

(on piano)
10-Living It Up
11-We Belong Together
12-impro / Pirates
13-Horses

(on guitar)
14-Bonfires
15-Remember Me
16-Nobody Knows My Name
17-Wild Girl
18-Autumn Leaves (Les Feuilles Mortes)


She's alternating between acoustic guitar and piano but no white strat' tonight.
Like two days ago @ Bobino , some very good parts and others less interesting.
She ended the set with French song " Autumn leaves" ( aka " Les feuilles mortes" originally sung by Yves Montand which was played during the interview)
Good show overall.
See ya all !
