Royal Republic + Blackfeet Revolution + Sleepers @ Divan du Monde , Paris Dec 22 2012

Royal Republic + Blackfeet Revolution + Sleepers@ Divan du Monde , Paris Dec 22 2012

Sleepers

Blackfeet Revolution

Royal Republic

Last show of the year 2012 for ROCKERPARIS, Oui Fm and "Bring the noise" last free show @ Divan du Monde in Pigalle. 

It's packed with lots of yougsters.

First band is Sleepers from Bordeaux, cool hard-core/Stoner French band. Nice heavy set.

Next is Blackfeet Revolution, a duet: a guy on drums and another one on guitar /Vocals, heavy bluesy band, Black Keys wanabee: fuckin' ridiculous but the kids love it, I guess they don't know how to recognize a proper blues-rock band from a shitty mama's boys band that's trying everything to look and sound cool but which is not.

Last is Royal Republic, a Swedish heavy Metal band another uninspired and useless band with some skills but no talent at all.

Once again the kids love it.

We left before the end.

PS: Congratulations to the Divan du Monde sound engineer , each band had a terrific sound, greasy and not too loud. It was PERFECT, too bad the bands were not up to the level of the sound.

Balthazar

set list

Eric truffaz

Baden Baden

 Radio show tonight @ Radio France with Belgium rock band Balthazar, french Rock band Baden Baden and jazz man Eric Truffaz.

Each band is playing a couple of songs one after another ( see setlist for details) between boring interviews as Eric Truffaz is the main artist tonight he's ending the show with 4 songs.
Balthazar is another very good pop-rock band from Belgium (with Deus and Zita Swoon) with some keys and violin to add extra flavor.
Baden Baden is french band  singing in English or french between Pop-Rock and "Chanson" depends on the language, I guess we prefer in English
Eric Truffaz doesn't need any introduction, some cool jazz on the trumpet ( we saw him last week at Studio SFR) once again with a girl on vocals for several songs, nice voice but songs are more pop when she's singing so we prefer when it's more jazz & instrumental.

Cool 150 min recording maybe they should cut out interviews between songs as it's a bit boring.

BB Brunes + Hugh Coltman @ Bellevilloise for Le Ring, Paris Dec 18 2012

BB Brunes + Hugh Coltman @ Bellevilloise for Le Ring tv show on France Ô , Paris Dec 18 2012

First time we're attending Le Ring TV recording for France Ô, in fact we've never heard of it before, this TV program already had Michael Kinawuka, Charlie Winston, Selah Sue and a few others.

Each time two artists are playing 5-6 songs each on a Box Ring, tonight we have English musician Hugh Coltman an french Rock band BB Brunes.

Early start as we're making our way into the Bellevilloise club around 7:30 pm and leaving the premises at 9:00pm.

Nice setting with a small white stage.

First is Hugh Coltman with his drummer and keyboard player for a cool short set of folk-rock.
Then we have the BB Brunes, lots of teenage girls in the audience who came specially for them but no screaming, everyone is very relaxed and enjoying the music.
It's less rock and more "dance" but enjoyable.
