Dum Dum Girls @ C'est Lenoir, Black Session Paris April 25 2011

Dum Dum Girls @ C'est Lenoir, Black Session
Paris April 25 2011

All girl band Dum Dum Girls @ C'est Lenoir for a Black session just one day after playing La Machine du Moulin Rouge.
Nice poppy song to begin with , a kind of psyche-rockier version of The Bangles then and for the whole gig it was more rock but it sounds all the same with the same rythm over & over, impossible to single out one catchy song.
Maybe is it because they are technically limited so a good above average show with one new song played.
45 min + set

see ya tomorrow (on tuesday) @ Divan du Monde for the Fnac private gig of Moriarty ("musique pour les ploucs" as Oliver called it)

.
Yes, it's Avenue de la Motte Picquet in case NO one noticed (center)

Saturday afternoon at Pere Lachaise Cemetary

Saturday afternoon @ Pere Lachaise cemetary in Paris

Very hot saturday afternoon in Paris, it feels like the summer, the best way to NOT feel the warm of the sun is to have a walk in the shady Pere Lachaise.

we visited Jim and say hello (far right)
