The Bewitched Hands @ L'Album de la Semaine
Paris Nov 09 2010 8:00 PM

Back into the Canal+ studio of the Plaine St Denis near Paris to see another french band, this time they rock. Seeing two French bands in two days I've probably never done that in my entire life.
They played the Festival des Inrocks @ Zénith opening for LCD Soundsystem in front of an almost empty Zénith ( less than 2000 people ) yesterday.
I've heard good things about this band and yeah they were right , very cool rock band between The Pixies, Brian Johnstown Massacre or Grandaddy.
Great sound with 2 guitars + Keys or with 3 guitars plus a girl on backing vocals for some high harmonies.
Cool set and they're singing in English, good point.

Oliver Peel has a brother in Scotland making Whiskey.

Agnes Orel ( not her real name) is from Danmark and she's living in Berlin.
She's looking very stern on the picture of her first album, typically German protestant not really the kind you want to have a laugh with... in fact she's really nice completely the opposite even thought you can hear by the way that she's playing the piano she had a classical training.
She performed a short set of 6 songs starting with an instrumental on the piano.
Voice of an angel.
Too bad that the girl playing the cello with her wasn't playing to add an extra flavor.
Very good set.

Madjo @ L'Album de la Semaine for Canal+ , Paris Nov 8 2010

Madjo @ L'Album de la Semaine, Canal+
Paris Nov 8 2010

French female singer Madjo is promoting her first album "Trapdoor". (click to listen to)
She will be playing The Maroquinerie club on Nov 16.
She's on acoustic guitar ( and electric for a couple of songs) with a beatboxer-percussionist, a girl on lead-backing vocals and a guy on bass and lead-backing vocals & handclappings.
Soulfull voice, singing mostly in English (we like it ) and a couple of songs in French ( we don't like it) Music between folk ballads & blues-soul, a kind of soft Moriarty.
Interesting but the songs should be more up-tempo, a bit too slow for me
They ended the set with a nice rendition of LeadBelly's " Where did you sleep last night" (also covered and popularized by Nirvana ) which sums up perfectly the kind of music they're playing.
