Hot Chip @ C'est Lenoir Black Session # 309 Paris Jan 26th 2010

Hot Chip @ Black Session # 309
C'est Lenoir Paris Studio 105 Maison de la Radio
Jan 26th 2010

First Black session for us in 2010.
After seeing Wolfmother yesterday @ Bataclan, It's a complete different sound tonight : no guitars and lots of keyboards for this dance band.
Not really the kind of music that we like here at ROCKERPARIS, we've heard nice things about Hot Chip , so the best is to judge Live.
Cool band, Yeah it's really a DANCE band , the music is entertaining with some (very) up-tempo songs, it's probably a band you have to see at a festival as the addition of steel drums gives a Carnival flavor to the music but the guys are looking very funny, like your next door college boy.
They attract a very 'male' audience.

TicketMaster & Live Nation merger approved by US

Sad news for concert goers everywhere around the world.
The US Justice Department approved the Ticketbastard-LiveNation merger.

I guess that tickets prices for concerts are gonna be even more expensive now as these 2 cies have a total monopoly in that field : ticketing, exclusive bookings,promoter,artist management, radios, venues.
They have EVERYTHING !!!

WolfMother & The Black Angels @ Bataclan Paris Jan 25th 2010

WolfMother & The Black Angels
@ Bataclan Paris Jan 25th 2010

Sold-out for the WOLFMOTHER @ Bataclan.

First we have Psyche-rock The Black Angels, it's a really cool set very psyche, the time machine has been set to the end of the 60's. Nice response from the audience.
Sounds a bit like a better version of the Brian Johnstown Massacre.

For WOLFMOTHER the time machine has been set a decade later , right into the middle of the 70's. Between Black Sabbath- Grand Funk Railroad & AC/DC.

From start to finish, no time to think ; we're on a Harley Davidson riding on the freeway at 120 MPH.

Andrew Stockdale is now the leader ( Dictator ? ) of the band and only original member.
Is it still a band ? I doubt so . It's more Andrew & Friends ( well session guys ).
Once again Andrew's guitar is covering everything, the second guitar player is almost hidden on the far right and is completely useless as it's impossible to hear him playing a single note.

The guy is funny on stage and is making the show, he has some funny moves and is the only one allowed to walk that stage , the others are staying where they are for the whole gig.
