Dark Dark Dark @ C'est Lenoir - Black Session, Paris Monday May 20th 2010

The last Black Session of the season (and maybe ever... as Frederic Lenoir told us) is welcoming the American band Dark Dark Dark. Their music is often described as "chamber-folk" but we would rather call it "rock-musette".

The sound is perfect, not too loud, and we could really enjoy the show as we had very comfortable seats in the front raw (and lots of handsome men in the audience...)

One girl and five guys on stage. They're playing piano, drums, accordion, banjo, clarinet, bass and cello. They do not so much address the audience but there is a real feeling between them and that's also someting they share with us. Nona Marie Invie has a really beautiful warm voice and I like Marshall LaCount's attitude on stage.

Very good one hour set with sadly-entertaining-fucking-good songs (well... as far as I can tell with my lack of gig-experience)

We'd like to thank the adorable Miss Albion for the tix and the amazing Oliver Peel for this nice musical evening spent with him.

Amy Winehouse beyond fucked up in Belgrade June 18 2011

Updated June 21: The remaining of the European Tour has been cancelled.

Amy Winehouse opened her European Tour in Belgrade, Serbia and she was beyond fucked up for the whole set in front of 20 000 people.

It's absolutely pathetic !!!
People are booing after the first song

!!! Shows in Istanbul (June 20 ) & Athens (June 22 ) are cancelled !!!

"Back to Black":

Intro & first song of the show, "You know I'n no good", "Love is a loosing game", " Valerie" (click on links to videos)

Flying Turns + Modern English + Mirrors @ Fleche d'Or
Paris, June 18 2011

Flying Turns

First is French Cold New wave band Flying Turns , dark voice and a music reminding me of Depeche Mode with a bit of DEVO ( They did a cover of the latter).
Not our cup of tea but we have to admit they did a good set.

very electro / Post Punk/ New Wave night

Then we have Modern English, these guys were around in 1979 but never made it, they reformed recently with the original line-up, typycal English pop-rock with a Joy Division influence but not only. The guitar player (see pics) has tattoos all over his arms and...face.
Cool set. Check our video of their hit song "I melt with you" here.

Modern English
Here's the setlist (Thanks to Stéphane D):

1. someone's calling

2. after the snow

3. tables turning

4. swans on glass

5. black houses

6. soundtrack

7. life in a gladhouse

8. move in light

Last on stage is Mirrors, we already saw them opening for OMD @ Casino de Paris, this is 100% electro music, the kind of... we hate, but it was entertaining, The singer's funny on stage.

Mirrors

all the bands played short set, no more than 50 min each.
Overall enjoyable evening
