Deftones @ Zénith, Paris Sept 06 2013

Deftones @ Zénith, Paris Sept 06 2013

Deftones are back in Paris after playing a couple of sold-out shows a few months ago at the Trianon Theatre (capacity 1200). This time they're playing at the Zénith, the middle-size Zénith (capacity 4000) which is pretty good.
Very powerful set by Deftones and nicely atmosphere down the front as usual the singer is screaming out like mad his lyrics sometimes playing the guitar as well.
Apocalyptic ending for the encore songs.
very nice set

Franz Ferdinand @ L'Album de la Semaine, Canal+, Paris Sept 04 2013

Franz Ferdinand @ L'Album de la Semaine, Canal+, Paris Sept 04 2013

The band is back in Paris to play songs from the new album "Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action".
It sounds more pop and less rock than what they've already done. Hard to make our mind after just one listen and in live conditions, even though I've heard some very good reviews for the new album after the disappointment of the previous one.
FF is a bit like Kaiser Chiefs, you need to see them on stage with a wild audience to really appreciate them which is more difficult when playing a tv show like this one.
Lots of girls tonight around us, the band still has some sexy supporters.
Very good gig ( one hour with two extra songs as an encore.)

The band will play a couple of songs @ Le Grand Journal TV show on Sept 05

Arctic Monkeys are playing on Sept 11 and Placebo should play around the Sept 18 (tbc)

Bryan Ferry & The Bryan Ferry Orchestra @ Jazz à La Villette, Paris , Sept 03 2013

Bryan Ferry & The Bryan Ferry Orchestra @ Jazz à La Villette, Paris , Sept 03 2013

Merchandising

It's been a long since we last saw Bryan Ferry, apart from a Q&A @ Fnac store to promote the Olympia album. It was at the Grand Rex in 2007.
This year he has just released a jazz album and he's playing tonight with his orchestra, all dressed up in tuxedos, the band is playing songs on their own, pure jazz. Everyone is listening politely, hoping that Bryan will turn up to his own gig, he's making his entrance on stage after 6 songs with "Love is a drug" could have been worse !
Songs are a bit re-orchestrated jazz style with horns but it's also a rock concerts specially when playing with his own drummer, a sexy female: Cherisse Osei , and a young gunslinger on guitar: Oliver Thompson.
Many songs from his solo album , some Roxy Music and a few covers (see setlist below for full details).
The set is divided in several parts: Jazz / Pop-Rock / Horns orientated / soulful with some neat backing-vocals from the two girls and more rock at the end.
As always with Bryan it's very classy and the girls from the audience are standing up and dancing in the aisles and getting down the front to get a closer look to their childhood lover.
After an average start with jazz instrumentals Bryan won the audience over with some classy vocals-great songs and some kick ass rock versions at the end
great gig.
