Jonsi, QOTSA & LCD Soundsystem @ Rock en Seine
Parc de St Cloud, August 28 2010

Jonsi had trouble with his electronic equipment stuck in Portugal so he played an acoustic set ( on second stage) alone at the beginning then joined by his band on drums , guitar xylophone & bass.
He has the voice of an angel but it's a bit boring specially in a festival maybe we should him in a club to really appreciate.

We left after 5-6 songs to get a decent view for QOTSA

Things are really getting hot on the main stage, it's packed, the audience is very different no more teenager girls.
They've done a killer set, but down the front we're fighting for our lives, the pit is divided in two for the first 30 rows ( front to the back) which is the most stupid thing to do, people keep on pushing as they don't see there are crash barriers.
Many other festivals have a small pit not @ Rock en Seine , too bad.

Hard to appreciate a gig when you're crushed.

LCD Soundsystem on the second stage, some of the songs are interesting but others are really boring and very repetitive.
Not fan of electronic music so we left to the main stage to see Massive attack...

Two Door Cinema Club & Paolo Nutini @ Rock en Seine August 28 2010

Two Door Cinema Club & Paolo Nutini @ Rock en Seine
Parc de St Cloud, August 28 2010

Another of those English (sorry Irish) young indie-rock bands Two Door Cinema Club came out of nowhere and played a sold out Cigale in Paris a few months ago.
We were lucky to see them at the Fnac store for a very short acoustic showcase in front of 50 people in March (click for review setlist, pics & video).

They are even more popular now, the second stage is packed with once again lots of beautiful girls

The show is enjoyable even though the music is a bit average.

Here's a video for ya ( from the stage):

Oh Yeah

Paolo Nutini on the main stage, great soul voice, the music is OK but it lacks "soul".
The girls love him , enjoyable when you have nothing to do.

Plan B & Stereophonics @ Rock en Seine August 28 2010

Plan B & Stereophonics @ Rock en Seine
Parc de St Cloud August 28 2010

Late again so we've missed the beginning of Plan B , we already saw them a few months ago at L'Album de la semaine tv show for canal+, There were n°1 in England and people in charge of the booking couldn't get fans to attend this free tv show ( they've played for 45 min) the day before (or after) they were supposed to play in a club and the show was cancelled because of poor sales.
Things have changed now Frenchies know who is Plan B.
Nice rock-soul music with a bit of rap thrown in.

They were well received by the audience, Once again we have exclusive Pictures FROM the stage

They should be back soon in France for a headlining show.
Don't miss them

Setlist Plan B

Stereophonics are the Stereophonics, good rock band but nothing special
Lots of english down the front of the main stage

Cool set.
