FOALS @ Album de la semaine, Paris, Dec 12 2012 8:00pm

FOALS @ Album de la semaine Canal+, Paris, Dec 12 2012 8:00pm
setlist
Indie English band FOALS  promoting their new album "Holy Fire" to be out next year in February.
We saw them a couple of times in Paris @ Rock en Seine and @ the very same tv show and we didn't really liked what we  heard. They are very popular, specially in England where they sold the Royal Albert Hall in twenty minutes, hard to believe.
Not too fan of their african-dance-pop-rock, though better than expected.

1) Lost And Found (extrait du dernier LP/CD Through A Crooked Sun)

6) What Is Home? (tiré de Before The Frost, avant-dernier album des Crowes (2009), ce fut le 1er titre que Rich interpreta en lead sur un album du groupe).



Great to see M. Rich Robinson from The Black Crowes fame playing such a small (free) showcase in a record store in Paris. The little store is packed with die-hard fans , Rich is here with some members of his band but he will play on his own on acoustic guitar and singing without any PA, so you could hear a pin drop during the gig. 3 songs from the new album and a couple of gems. Great gig.
Rich is very nice and chatty, explaining how sorry he is that his booking agent booked the band to play in a private club ( @ David Lynch's Silencio Club) that is only open to private members. So he's offering a few tickets with a raffle and the people winning ( 6 in all) will be on his personal guest list.
How nice of him.
Then everyone could get his cd signed and buy some stuff, that's when we left  as we had another show to attend.
But hey ! we had to go to the Silencio Club...

FIDLAR @ Album de la Semaine, Paris Dec 10 2012

FIDLAR @ Album de la Semaine,Canal+  Paris Dec 10 2012


Harcore/Punk band from california FIDLAR  is about to release it's first album and is playing famous canal+ Tv show L'Album de la semaine to promote it.
Never really heard of them before but it's a nice discovery  in the style of D.R.I or Gang Green with a bit of surf music in it.
Lots of short and heavy songs with nice riff and probably stupid lyrics as they called a song "Cocaine" as they love it ! 
Even though they're drinking between songs , acting like idiots and  trying to sound a bit "noisy", you can hear that the playing is neat and the band very professional when it comes to rock.
Very nice , fresh and heavy set.
That's the kind of shit we dig @ Rockerparis.
