The Ting Tings @ Caroussel du Louvre for Deezer, Paris Dec 08 2011

The Tings Tings' private show @ Caroussel du Louvre, Paris, Dec 08 2011
For Deezer worldwide launch with Facebook & Orange

Some Girls & Big Oils are out in force including French Minister for culture

LeWeb11 is organizing 2-3 days of conferences about the Internet and they had the good idea to have a huge party with The Ting Tings to celebrate the worldwide launch of French streaming Cie Deezer in collaboration with Big Brother's FaceFuck & Orange.

Lots of sexy girls in the audience, it's always a pleasure, and lots of free booze at the bars.
It's the first time we're attending a Ting Tings' gig and we only know a couple of songs that were played on radio from their first album.
No preconceived mind about this English duet...well maybe about their clothes !!!

Anyway, even though there are only the two of them on stage, it's sounding good, they do have some pre-recorded stuff but not that much.
The girl is doing the show running everywhere, including a small trip into the audience and headbanging like a Metallica fan during "Seek & Destroy".
The guy is playing Drums, some guitars and Keys and the chick is playing guitars and keys and singing of course.

They do have some cool songs that are rocking with a pop/dance beat and feeling.
I'm not too convinced with the more electro tunes, luckily most of the songs are rocking.
I'm not too familiar with the repertoire but out of 9 songs they've probably performed 5-6 new songs.
Nice 45 min set.

Smith & Burrows @ Fleche d'Or, Paris Dec 07 2011

Smith & Burrows @ Fleche d'Or, Paris Dec 07 2011

Far from being full tonight when we get @ Fleche d'Or after coming from The Horrors @ Bataclan.
First Aid Kit & Liz Green had already played their set
beautiful setting for the stage with Trees, fairy lights ...
No drummer tonigth just a guy on trumpet in the back, a cello played, a keyboard played and the singer of The Editors (also on piano and guitar) and the former drummer from Razorlight who's on vocals, guitar and piano.
Lots of covers from different bands ( Black , REM and others...) plus some christmas songs.
it's a very laid-back and relaxed concert, It's like seeing friends playing songs in your apartment for a kids party.
There was even a raffle to get some merchandising and a bottle of wine before the encore.

setlist

I didn't know what to expect as I was invited by friends when I was leaving the Bataclan , where The Horrors had just played, I'm glad I attended as They've done a great set.

reminder:
Razorlight @ Fleche d'Or Feb 2011, @ Bataclan in 2008
The Editors @ Olympia 2010, @ Bataclan 2009

The Horrors @ Bataclan, Paris dec 07 2011

The Horrors @ Bataclan, Paris dec 07 2011

We're getting into the Bataclan just as The Horrors are getting on stage, the pit is packed but there are seats left on the balcony upstairs.
As usual with The Horrors the lightning is "atmospheric", we already saw them @ Rock en Seine festival and we enjoyed it.

Tonight we're less convinced by their psyche-rock heavily influenced by Joy Division. Songs are sounding too much the same.
Good show nevertheless but it could have been better. Short set 65 min
