Miossec @ L'Album de la Semaine, Paris sept 26 2011

Miossec @ L'Album de la Semaine, Paris Sept 26 2011


French singer Miossec is playing famous Canal+ tv show, we can tell he's Rock'n Roll. He did the rehearsals 5 minutes before the show was supposed to start, they did one song and that was it. Perfect.
It seems that he has problem walking as he's using his mike stand as a crutch for the whole set like Daniel Darc from Taxi Girl.
Musically it's between Chanson Française and rock , a bit like Hubert Felix Thiéfaine with some nice lyrics even though for one song we couldn't understand a bloody word he was singing.
With HF Thiéfaine probably one of the only French singer worth checking.

Usines & Art en Ivry @ Ivry sur Seine, Sept 24-25 2011

Usines & Art en Ivry @ Ivry sur Seine, Sept 24-25 2011
Ivry sur Seine looks like L.A. ( left), PJ Harvey painting (center), Bunny rabbit in wood (right)

Week-end of modern art for ROCKERPARIS.

Friday night was the Varnishing-day in one of the former factory converted in studio-loft for artists, it's like beeing in Brooklyn or L.A. (check the Palm-tree).
Ivry sur Seine is a shitty industrial town just outside Paris but they have converted lots of factories into lofts, artists are living and working there and I have to say that it's really a cool place to visit even though the area sucks badly

Mathilde Chevrier's frames with sweets (far left), The Studio-Loft (right)

Lots of people this week-end, this is a very popular and recognised event in the art world.
One of our friend Mathilde Chevrier has some of her frames made out of sweets stuck into resin on display in one of the studio. Click on link to check her work.

Cédric Delsaux Pics

We've also discover a more established artist Cédric Delsaux who's taking pics of industrial & building landscapes and for some of them is mixing robots and spaceships from Star-Wars into them.
The result is amazing and "George Lucas-approved".

Rachael Dadd + Ichi + Emma & Chris @ Oliver Peel session #40, Paris Sept 24 2011

Rachael Dadd + Ichi + Emma Gatrill & Chris
@ Oliver Peel session #40, Paris Sept 24 2011
Emma Gatrill

Probably the penultimate session @ Oliver's near the Eiffel Tower before Oliver Peel moves to another place ( NEXT ONE ON Oct 06th, YES IT'S ON THURSDAY ) with Headlining act Rachael Dadd from Bristol.
The appartment is rammed tonight with lots of English & Americans and, as usual, lots of beautiful girls.
First on "stage" is Emma Gatrill, she has a tiny voice that's suits perfectly with her tunes on guitar or harp.
Ichi from Japan

Then we have Japanese multi-instrumentalist Ichi with certainely the most funny and unusual gig we ever attented @ Oliver's. He's playing lots of different instruments (see Pics) including the most unusual ones like playing with a type-writter or steel-drums with ping pong balls ... and water.
Surprising and entertaining
Rachael Dadd & friends

Last but not least is Rachael Dadd with some folk music on guitar, ukulele or banjo.
Very traditionnal with Irish influences.
She also has some guests musicians with Emma & Chris + Ichi.
She already played @ Oliver's on March 27 2010.
some of the beautiful people

Once again a complete success, lots of people , lots of food and drinks, a very good atmosphere.
It was a premiere too as we had a couple of people that nearly fainted because of the heat.
some more...& the artists (far left)

We had an after-show session down in the courtyard with Emma who played us a couple of more songs on harp.
The night ended with more drinks and pasta for all until the early morning.

Aftershow concert with Emma/ cat's getting all the attention/ en route...

Review @ Oliver's + Pics to come shortly.
