Ruby Throat @ La Dame de Canton Paris Oct 7th 2009

Ruby Throat @ La Dame de Canton
Paris Oct 7th 2009

Queen Adreena 's female lead singer Katie Jane Garside is singing in another band called Ruby Throat which is a duet with guitar player Chris Whittingham.

Two minutes walk from Le Batofar there is another tiny boat called " La Dame de Canton" ( The lady from Shenzhen ) the atmosphere is more intimist , people are seating and listening religiously to her soft frail voice over the laid back guitar licks.
Unfortunately I get there too late , the show was supposed to start at 10 PM but I only saw the last 20 min.
Too bad it was really good

Katie & Chris

Cougar + Thea Hjelmeland @ Batofar Paris Oct 7th 2009

Cougar + Thea Hjelmeland @ Barofar
Paris Oct 7th 2009

When I arrived in this tiny boat Le Batofar just in front of the Bibliothèque François Mitterrand , Swedish indie-folk singer Thea Hjelmeland was already playing.
She's the kind of artist ( crystal clear voice , girl, swedish , soft folk ) who would be perfect for an Oliver Peel session.
As you can see on the pics she's switching instruments.

Then american instrumental rock band Cougar played in front of a very quiet but dedicated audience. Their music is atmospheric without beeing boring nevertheless they should play more up-tempo songs.
For once the drummer's seems to be the leader.
Cool set

Heavy Trash @ Fnac Forum Paris 3 PM Oct 7th 2009

Really lucky today , I went to the fnac store aound 3 PM and they were setting up a stage in the store, after asking who was playing I was delighted to hear that John Spencer 's Heavy trash were playing a short set.

They've played 6 songs, mostly from their new cd , nice early rock à la Elvis 56 with upright bass and all...

1) Bumble bee
2) Gee, I really love you
3) "Take a look at me" ( ? ) sung by Guitar player
4) Bedevilment
5) Punk Rock mama

John Spencer's doing the show on his own , a real american showman reminding you of the name of the band , the new cd and the concert @ Trabendo tonight.
