Hillbilly Moon Explosion + Laura Gibson
(+ Port O' Brien )
@ Fleche d'Or, Paris April 20th 2010

Laura Gibson

First on stage is Folk Lady Laura Gibson who already played an Oliver Peel session a few months ago, unfortunately I couldn't attend this one as Charlotte Gainsbourg was playing @ Canal+ on the same night. Laura also opened for Carl Barat & Adam Green @ Pompidou Center (click for review).I arrived there too late to see her.

Anyway she played a nice set of soft songs as only Folk ladies can play.

Hillbilly Moon Explosion

Very different music on the program for the set band to grace the stage of La Fleche d' Or on this tuesday night with The Hillbilly Moon Explosion.
As you can guess and see on the Pics they're playing Hillbilly music.
Very refreshing set, It's been a long time since I've seen playing a rockabilly band.
Always cool to see a girl on vocals for that kind of band it adds something extra and sexy.

Country and rock influences for the Hillbilly Moon Explosion, a little brother of the Stray Cats ( click to see our review of their last show in Paris ) also featuring nice guitar solo à la Django Reinhart.

Port O'Brien is next (review & video above)

updated April 18th with 3 videos from the show

NEW YORK DOLLS @ Trabendo
Paris April 16th 2010

The trabendo is Sold-Out show for the New York Dolls in Paris.

Great to have them back to promotote new album " Cause I sez so"
The previous one, when they reformed was probably one of my favorite rock records of the last 5 years.
Last time they've played the Elysée Montmartre and the show was absolutely GREAT.

Lots of old fans and a few youngsters too.

David seemed a bit tired at the beginning, or maybe is it his "droopy" face, Sylvain Sylvain is as cool as ever.

SteVe Conte, on guitar is holding the house.

A few songs from the new album, a few from the previous one (" One day It will please us to remember even this") and lots of oldies.

We had a couple of Bo Diddleys not on the setlist, but I guess that they do it all the time.
See setlist below for details

Even had some dance moves courtesy of Sylvain Sylvain impersonating Michael Jackson to the beat of... "Billy Jean" (click to watch him dance)

NEW YORK DOLLS they foockin' ROCK, MAN !!!

We LOVE them @ ROCKERPARIS.
Some "VIPs" were there : French singer Daniel Darc ( former Taxi Girl) , French actor and former punk Rocker : Jean-Piere kalfon & French designer Jean-Carles de Castelbajac who went for a drink with David Johansen at the nearby Café .

See ya guys !

Fanfarlo @ Trabendo, Paris April 14th 2010

Fanfarlo + The Two @ Trabendo
Paris April 14th 2010

Back to see Fanfarlo for the third time this year.
French duet The Two is opening, a guy on guitar and a girl on vocals for a 30 min set of acoustic songs with a Michael Jackson cover.

Strange, when they've played the Maroquinerie the place was really packed, tonight it's far from being full.
Anyway once again they've done a great set, as i already told you they're a smaller version of Arcade Fire ( they're only 5) but they're as good as the Canadian.

Special treat tonight with 2 special songs : a new one that they recorded specially for the single of "Record Store day" which is taking place in the United -States and in England on April 17th and a Fleetwood Mac cover also on the single.

A lovely lady in the audience

The band came straight after the gig on stage to meet their fans and sell cds.
