The Big Pink @ L' Album de la Semaine Paris Sept 22nd 2009

The Big Pink @ L' Album de la Semaine
Paris Sept 22nd 2009

Back to the famous Canal+ Tv Show this time to see Indus-electro band The Big Pink.
Many people are talking about them across the channel.
Their debut album is out shortly over here but it's not the first time that they're playing in Paris , I think they've already played twice in the capital a few months ago.
Anyway this was my first time , i'm not really into that kind of music but they've done a good set.
They're not to electro or indus and have cool atmospheric songs, of course every "dark" band has a bass that sounds like the one in Joy Division so they do.
They have a cute japanese girl on drums , maybe they should turn the guitar up a bit as it's barely distinct in the mix.
They also should smile or communicate with the audience but I guess it's part of their trip.
Nice set

Kings Of convenience are playing a private show in a secret location tomorow for the Blogotheque. They will ply a proper show @ Bataclan in November.

Emilie Simon
Showcase @ Fnac Forum
Sept 22nd 2009 Paris

French singer Emilie Simon is promoting her brand new album "The big Machine ".
It's a free showcase for 200 people ( first come first serve ) in the auditorium of french store Fnac in the heart of Paris ( Les Halles )
She's very talented , good looking and has beautiful voice.
Her first record was electro-pop so she has been called the French Bjork now I guess that people will call her the French Kate Bush as she has the same way of singing with the same high tone, this is even more true as her new songs are much more pop , played on the piano.
No more electronics.
Unfortunately she only played 5 songs ( around 30 min ) nevertheless i've appreciate every minute of it.

I think that I really have a crush on her , she's so cute. Look at this beautiful smile.
Message from Patrice: "sorry for the pics they're really crap "

We don't want to get into private matters but Emilie, if you're reading this, ALL our love goes to you ;-)

Alberta Cross @ L' Album de la semaine Canal+ tv show Sept21st 2009

Alberta Cross @ L' Album de la Semaine
Paris sept 21st 2009

Anglo-swedish New York based band Alberta Cross is playing this famous Canal+ Tv show in front of a selected audience of 200 people.
They are here to promote their debut album out recently "Broken side of time"
They look like the guys from the Black Crowes and are playing the same kind of music : blues rock with a modern guitar disonnance sound even though they have a hammond or Rhodes older sound for the keyboards.
Songs are good but there's nothing really fantastic , they made me think of a band like 22-20's without the power or the talent for the composition.
Overall enjoyable.

Tomorrow Sept 22nd Emilie Simon is playing a showcase @ Fnac Forum & The Big Pink are playing L' Album de la semaine".
