Ed Sheeran @ Fnac Ternes, Paris March 10 2012 4:00PM

Showcase from this young artist @ Fnac Ternes, I thought I was at the wrong place as there are only girls between 15 and 17.
Was he playing in a Boys Band before or what ?
Anyway, everyone is well behaved and the guy seemed pretty cool, he only played 3 songs, here's the second one on video which has a hip hop beat, the other two were more "folk".
Maybe he should work a bit more on the lyrics.
Good set before a sold out show @ Maroquinerie tonight.
he will be back @ Cigale in July.

The Ting Tings @ La Cigale, Paris March 09 2012

Well, another show in Paris from The Ting Tings in just a few months, we saw them playing a private show for Deezer @ Caroussel du Louvre in December last year and they came back @ Fleche d'Or in January.
Opening is french dance-electro band We are enfant terrible, not our cup of tea but that was alright.
Then The Ting Tings for an hour long set (9:11 /10:15 pm).
They started the set with a very cool song before getting everyone dancing on the dancefloor of la Cigale which is like a trampoline.
The band is much more rock on stage than on records and they always deliver a good show even though we're not too fan when they're more electro.
The blonde girl is making the show and they' re much more fun on stage than The Kills.
Good gig but a bit short, 65 min that's not enough when you have 2 albums.

Nick Waterhouse @ L'Album de la semaine, Paris March 07 2012

Another vintage artist, it sounds like the great James Hunter but without the charisma or the songs.
Can't say it's bad but can't say it's very good either there's no soul or spark.
It's just enjoyable but we need more than this!
