Editors @ Bataclan Paris Dec 14th 2009

Editors @ Bataclan Paris
Dec 14th 2009

Sold out show for Editors , they will be back next @ The Olympia theatre.
We had a dinner with friends before the show so we get there pretty late , in fact we missed support bands Wintersleep , The Maccabees & the first 3 songs of Editors.
Yeah I know shame on us.
I hate to get at a gig when it's already started !!!

I've seen Editors several times in Paris , they've always been very good even though i'm not much of a fan of the style of music they're playing ( 80's English indie rock ).
I don't know why I like them a lot on stage and once again, shame on me, I never took the time to listen to ANY of their records.

The new record seems to be much more keyboard orientated 80's style ( which is something that I really hate ) but once again with Editors I like it.
I like the deep voice of the singer they don't do too much but in a very nice way.
Great to end 2009 with such a nice gig.

Well maybe Marilyn Manson on Dec 21st @ Zénith, don't know yet.
Or the acoustic show of the Kooks @ Scopitone on Dec 17th

Reza & Laura Gibson @ Oliver Peel session # 14
Paris Dec 12th 2009

The audience

Oliver Peel session #14 and last session for 2009.
Lots of new faces in the audience this time with lots of American here to see Laura Gibson.
First on stage is french Folkman Reza , cool set, check his website to listen to his music , unfortunately I had to leave after a few songs to Canal+ to see the first ever show of Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Reza


I have also missed Laura Gibson's set, people told me she was great , her record has been in the top poll in lots of magazines.
Check Oliver Peel 's website and Flickr for more on this session.

Once again not everybody could fit in.
We also had the pleasure of seeing American folk lady Erica Buettner in the audience.

Charlotte Gainsbourg @ L' Album de la Semaine Dec 12th 2009

Charlotte Gainsbourg @ L' Album de la Semaine
Paris Dec 12th 2009

Couldn't miss this one as it's the last Album de la Semaine for 2009 and it's the first ever show performed by Charlotte Gainsbourg.
I arrived there late as I was at an Oliver Peel session and I missed the first song of this gig (It was ok as she played it again at the end ).
Charlotte Gainsbourg released a couple of years ago a very good first album , the new single IRM from the new album sounds good but I'm not too sure if having Beck doing the music is a good idea, I'm not a fan of Beck's music.
Her ( very) soft voice suited the music perfectly for the first record but not really for the kind of music she's doing now.
Her voice is very weak and she doesn't seem to enjoy beeing on a stage.

It is not bad and I quite enjoy this gig but let's be honest and we are always honest here at ROCKERPARIS.
Without the name Gainsbourg she would have never been signed by a record Cie.
Let's also be fair that was her FIRST concert and she was probably scared to death.

Broadcasted on Dec 23rd on Canal+
Unfortunately Beck couldn't make it , he called sick ; they were supposed to play 2 songs together.
Next time ? ( Dec 14th @ Grand Journal ? )
