Raphael Saadiq @ Bataclan, Paris march 10 2012

Raphael Saadiq @ Bataclan, Paris march 10 2012

Another sold-out concert for Raphael Saadiq who's really doing very well over here.
Yesterday he played to a sold-out Olympia.
He was in Paris a few months ago when he opened for Lenny Kravitz @ Bercy.
Tonight he's playing with an extended band with brass and backing vocalists, 10 people on stage in all.
They get on stage to the sound of Barry White
They started with a very relaxed and groovy song with Raphael on guitar before he start picking up the microphone, we're back in time : 40 years before 2012 right back into the middle of the 70's for a dose of Funk-Soul.
Even though it still sounds very modern, glad we had some heavy guitars on some songs.
It's a real melting pot as he's also playing a blues song and also some New Orleans jazz.

He could be called a Recycler with all these influences, there is a bit of everything to satisfied everybody in Da house.
Raphael is an entertainer and is using every trick in the book, it's a very American show and the band is as tight as the JB's.
He's also giving a bit of a spotlight to his musicians or vocalists when songs are stretched out with extended soli.
Very entertaining !

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

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.
