Morning Star + Youth Less + Milos Unplugged
@ Espace B, Paris March 6th 2010

Morning Star

Saturday's night all right for folking ( I think I already did this one !) @ Espace B for Top of the Folks.
Morning Star with the Pop Choir feat. Jesse D Vernon is the first artist to play.
Pop-Folk songs with harmony vocals feat. our good friend Sionnan-red-pants on backing vocals, a journey back into the 60's.
Just one guitar, some vocals a bit of flute ( can't do no harm).
Really cool set

Youth Less

French folk young lady Youth Less is next, acoustic guitar in hand, her favorite singer is Emiliana Torrini so you can guess that she's not playing Heavy metal. If you like Suzanne Vega or Cat Power you'll be charmed by this young lady.

Milos Unplugged

Another french band from bordeaux Milos unplugged, lots of different influences Folk, South American, rock.
The trumpet is adding something extra,a trip to a spaghetti western in Mexico with Ennio Morricone's sountrack in the background.
It makes me wanna listen to Freddie hubbard's ( a jazz trumpetist) masterpiece "a soul Experiment".

The Last Morning soundtrack closed the Top of the Folks evening we saw a couple of songs, they seem quite good less folk more pop à la Grandaddy.

At Rockerparis we don't really have the time to go to small gigs like this but i'm very surprised by the musicianship of these bands compare to... the Babyrockers which , when you think of it are really shit for most of'em.

Gossip showcase for NRJ sessions with iTunes @ Fleche d'Or, Paris March 5th 2010

NRJ Sessions with iTunes
Gossip @ Fleche d'Or, Paris March 5th 2010

La Fleche d' Or is welcoming Gossip for a private, invit' only show just a few weeks after Peter Doherty played the very same place.
This time it's not chaos outside La Fleche d' Or in fact the security is very loose and they do not check at all after you pass the girls doing the guest list so I could have get in with a coach full of drunken poles nobody would have noticed.

There is an experimental support band, we didn't really get their name ( "10LE6C"), lots of percussions and a very sexy Asiatic female on vocals & screams. ( No Pics sorry, Patrice was at the bar)
Can't really say that they've played songs, enjoyable though.

Around 9:45 PM Gossip took the tiny stage, well what can I say ? they've played in Paris so often for the last year , they're constantly touring.
It's probably the 4th time I'm seeing them in less than a year in Paris.
Too bad from where I was I couldn't see the cute drummer, the bass player has a really funny face and Beth is wild as usual.
They've incorporated portions of Michael Jackson's songs in between ( with Talking Head's "Psycho killer").
Short set, no more than 45 min.
They will play the Zénith ( 6000 capacity) for two shows in May, the first one is already SOLD-OUT.

The Soft Pack & The Parisians @ Nouveau Casino , Paris Feb 4th 2010

The Soft Pack + The Parisians @
Nouveau Casino, Paris feb 4th 2010

The Parisians

Thursday evening, I guess that froggies prefer to stay home as the club is far from beeing packed and the guest list is as long as Ron Jeremy's dick.
It looks like french opening act The Parisians didn't come with their possee.
Is the "Baby Rocker" movement already dead & cold ?
Some good and some bad moments for a band heavily influenced by the Stooges ( or Marky Ramone for the drummer) they even play the intro to "Michelle" from G'N R.

Then we have The Soft Pack from California, it's a time machine for the 60's Garage rock, short songs with typical 60's guitar sound.

Funny they have a drummer who's standing up to play his drums like Slim Jim Phantom from The Stray Cats

Short set as they barely play for an hour with no encore ?!?
