Popa Chubby & Galea @ L' Album de la Semaine Canal+ Feb 17th 2009

Setlist

Another bluesman at Canal+ , after seeing Seasick Steve yesterday , It's Popa Chubby & Galea 's turn to play for the Album de la Semaine.
He's promoting his brand new cd " Vicious Country " so now he has left his blues licks at the cloakroom and has turn into a heavy Tammy Wynett.
Poppa has a new band with him featuring Galea on bass and lead vocals plus a drummer and a player that is all over the place
It's surprising to hear him playing some country , there's still lots of guitar ; don't get me wrong , but it's more a band with Popa than Popa solo with backing musicians.
Show started with the classic country song and covered by The Beatles " Act naturally " .
The songs are more laid back than when he was firing on all cylinders with his Jimi Hendrix set.
Galea 's even singing one song on her own ( nice haircut too, Dolly Parton would be proud ).
Show ended with a cool "Hey Joe" ( Jimi Hendrix version ) even though they get it right after the 4th time .
Band came back on stage to play 2 songs they were not satisfied with and we had another version of " Hey joe ".
Nice concert.

Popa Chubby is playing the Jamel Comedy Club on Thursday the 18th ( Guest list only ) & Le Plan in Ris Orangis on March 8th.

Other bands playing The Album de la Semaine are :
ALICE RUSSELL : Feb 23th ( English soul )
The Only Ones : Feb 24th ( Cult Punk Band )
Book now call Bertrand on 01 55 93 40 48

Whitesnake in June in Paris + Lynyrd Skynyrd

Whitesnake will finally play a show in France @ Casino de Paris on June 4th 2009
Last time they've played over here was 14 years ago ... yes sir in 1994 at the Elysée Montmartre.

Lynyrd Skynyrd will be at the zénith on June 5th.
I really don't know if we'll go to this one as those right wing mother fucking bastards have talked so much shit about Frenchies for not joining the americans on their last invasion of Irak.
Why supporting these bastards after they insulted us ?

Seasick Steve @ L' Album de la Semaine Feb 16th 2009

Seasick Steve signing stuff outside the studio

Seasick Steve @ L' Album de la semaine Canal+
For the last 2-3 years Steve is the media darling specially in England where he has played many times over the last couple of years including a sold-out Royal albert Hall and recently a sold-out Hammersmith Apollo..
Tonight he's not playing in front of 5 000 people but only 150 for this french TV show, but don't worry he's giving it all.
The ol' man might be seating down for most of this short gig but his blues-rock is quite powerful and the way he plays is very communicative , the fact that most of the songs are up-tempo is also very helpful , there's a drummer with him too.
He asks a young girl to sit down next to him while he was serenading her for one of the few slow song that he performed tonight ( " Walking Man " ).
After seeing him tonight I understand why he's so popular in England , his blues is very lively and the guy plays it with such a big smile on his face that's it's hard not to fell for him.

Steve with drummer in the back / Setlist signed + invit

After the show we had a nice chat with him , he was nice to everyone.
he's playing the Maroquinerie on Feb 25th don't miss this gig.
Sorry no live pics but here's a video from Jools Holland show from England.
