The John Mitchell Fleet @ Gibus, Paris April 18 2013

The John Mitchell Fleet @ Gibus, Paris April 18 2013

Back at the Gibus club for a charity gig organized by two associations ‘Glowbule, vivre avec le cancer’, & ‘Joie d’un sourire’ to help children with cancer at hospital.
We're here to attend John Mitchell Fleet's gig. We already saw its leader opening for Peter Doherty @ Bus Palladium a few weeks ago.
Tonight he's playing with the band for, unfortunately, a very short set as they're only playing 4 songs.There are many other bands on the bill tonight.
We're talking 'classic rock' between Jeff Buckley & Eric Clapton 70's era. The musicianship is high and the band is tight and that's the kind of music that we like here @ Rockerparis.
Check them if they're playing a club near ya.: http://www.johnmitchellfleet.com/

Valerie June @ Album de la Semaine for Canal+, Paris April 17 2013

Valerie June @ Album de la Semaine for Canal+, Paris April 17 2013

It's been a while since we've been to this tv show, good to be back in this tiny 100 capacity studio.

We're here to see VALERIE JUNE promoting her 5th album Pushin’ Against a Stone, she's now the protégée of Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys.

She's sexy and has a beautiful orange dress and a nice "gorgone" haircut,  lloking a bit shy.

She's playing traditionnal music: rural Folk-Blues. Nice songs, half of them performed on her own on acoustic guitar or banjo and the rest with her band, that sounded much better.

I'm not really convince by her laid-back high-pitched voice that is making her sound like a Memphis version of Duffy.

Short 7 songs -30 min set.

She will be playing @ Fleche d'Or club for the [Pias] night in Paris on April 26.

We'll be back @ L'Album de la Semaine as soon as next monday for MILES KANE who's promoting his second solo album. Really looking forward for this one.

Didier Wampas & Bikini Machine @ Studio SFR, Paris April 16 2013

Didier Wampas & Bikini Machine @ Studio SFR, Paris April 16 2013

Didier Wampas has just released his second solo album and he's doing a bit of promo in the media including this show @ Studio SFR on Rue tronchet just next to La Madeleine. It's a small 300 capacity "club"  and it's not packed tonight, really wondering why as it's a free show.
As usual with Didier he's giving it all on stage, jumping and running all the time including to the very back on the club several times and even crowdsurfing, it's a first here.
His record is less Punk and bit more 60's orientated than the Wampas but still with funny lyrics,first song is "Viré de chez Skyrock" (-"Kicked out of -rap radio- Skyrock" ) and full of powerful rock songs.
60 min long set
Powerful and entertaining set.
