Interpol signing session @ Fnac Montparnasse
Paris Sept 17 2010 2:30PM

as you can see (far right) it's very relax

Very cool and relax atmosphere for Interpol @ Fnac Montparnasse this afternoon , before their SOLD OUT show at the trabendo club.
Not so many people, roughly a hundred, all queueing nicely and quietly to get an autograph.
30 min later it was done.

We won't go to the show tonight @ Trabendo but we may go to see Nina Hagen at the nearby Cité de la Musique.
We shall see...

Alvin & the 1015 @ Rhum Marin, Paris Sept 16 2010

Alvin & the 1015 @ Rhum Marin
Paris sept 16 2010

Relax atmosphere in this bar on Rue St Maur to see former male top model Alvin & the 10 15 ... in fact his name is Scott and he's from Chicago.
Deep low voice à la Tom Waits or Mark Lanegan.
We arrived just on time to see his second set ( yeah we missed the first part), Bluesy rock gig, we already saw him a few months ago @ Palais de Tokyo (click for review).
Cool set once again.

In other news:

• We've been told that Axl Rose left the hotel in Paris at 7:30 PM to play a show in Geneva on the same night.
• Ozzy is NOT really popular over here as he only sold 6000 tix out of 17000 for Bercy (sept 20 ) even though Korn is opening. His show in Oberhausen Germany (Sept 16 ) has been cancelled because he hurt his back.His doctors adviced him to take a few days rest. I won't be surprised if Paris' show is cancel blaming his poor health instead of poor tickets sales.
• Peter Doherty & Carl Barat met each other in Paris @ Cafe Bergerac last week.
  

Vernissage of Jimi Hendrix exhibition @ Renoma, Paris Sept 15 2010

updated Sept 27 with videos

Opening of Jimi Hendrix exhibition @ Galerie Renoma
Paris sept 15 2010

Jimi hendrix died 40 years ago so lots of celebration this year.
Galerie Renoma ( rue de la pompe Paris 16) opened (click for video of vernissage) its new exhibition yesterday night ( last one was on The Rolling Stones).
Lots of wonderful vintage Pics on the wall, absolutely great most of'em very well-known, it is not really an art galerie but a clothes store ( pic above far left), the place is packed so we didn't stay too long, we'll be back when it's gonna be more quiet during the week.

GUNS N ROSES playing in a club just in front of the Arc de Triomphe for 300-400 posh people including us.

FANTASTIC electro-Acoustic show, Axl on top form vocally & "spiritually", having fun , making jokes, smiling all the time: Can you believe it ?

I was litterally ON the stage ( in the garden of the club) as it was knee high, great light show, great sound.
Lots of beauties in the audience, a couple of fans.

Axl Rose telling jokes: saying that when he was staying at the Crillon hotel many years ago, someone in the streets called him Bon Jovi. He said well... " Jon Bon Bovi can suck my dick" he added I don't care if you put this on Youtube. AH AH too bad I didn't recorded it !

Videos should follow soon ( Whole lotta Rosie and another) but I will get my computer back tomorrow morning as it broke down yesterday and I can't upload videos where I am.

couldn't get closer than this !

Tcoo Tchoo "Nightrain":
