Adam Ficek @ Gibert Musique, Paris 12 Jan 2010 5:00 PM

Adam Ficek aka Rose Kings Castles @ Gibert Musique
Paris Jan 12 2011

Adam Ficek on his own on acoustic guitar to promote his record in this famous Record-dvd Store in St Michel just next to the Sorbonne.
Small gathering of devoted fans for the former drummer with The Babyshambles, maybe 5:00PM wasn't the best of time as all the kids are still in school or at work.
Anyway Adam did a great short 30 min set with his cool and soft songs from his records including a couple of new songs at the end.
As often the "late" Oliver Peel missed the gig.Nice Jacket !

Cocoon @ L'Album de la Semaine, Canal+ Jan 11 2011

French Pop-Folk duet Cocoon is back with a new album " Where the Oceans end" ( click for video of first single) and they are promoting it with a small concert @ Famous Canal+ tv show : L' Album de la Semaine.
The studio 104 is packed for the first gig of the year here.
The duet ( the man on guitar and the girl on piano, both on vocals) are playing with a bass player, a drummer and a cello + violins on some songs.
Very good Pop-Folk band as you can't hear any french influences which is a good point and is probably why they're so good and they're singing in English.
Great vocals harmonies and catchy tunes.
Very nice start for our first gig of the year.

SETLIST ( not in order): Sushi, Dee Doo, Oh my God, Comets, Cathedral, Mother, Dolphins, Sea Lions II + encore with Dolphins, Sushi.
