The Kills + S.C.U.M. @ Bataclan
After seeing
Jamie & Alison yesterday @
Fnac Forum for a signing session, it's time to see these two animals live @ the hot & sweaty Bataclan. Unfortunately we couldn't go to their small gig @
La Fleche d'Or last month, we were @
Marianne Faithfull's.
There's a lot of hype with
The Kills but there are still playing the tiny bataclan (1200 capacity) so it was sold-out a long time ago.
Scalpers are making a bit of extra pocket money outside, lots of trendy 'Hippie -chic' girls, inside it's hot as hell but we're used to with the bataclan there is no AC.
S.C.U.M from England is opening, it's very psyche post-Punk but not very interesting.
Jamie's in charge of the guitars and starts the drum machine plus some backing vocals, Alison sings of course , plays a bit of guitars and for a couple of songs she's on keys & drums (see pic above)
On stage the post-punk garage rock couple is sweating buckets as well, in fact when you really think about it, most of their (short) songs are sounding the same, only 3-4 songs are "standing out".
The concert is pretty short as they are living the stage for the first time after just 45 min.
Intense 65 min gig.
