Keren Ann @ L'Album de la Semaine, Paris Feb 21 2011 8:30pm

Keren Ann @ L'Album de la Semaine, Canal+
Paris Feb 21 2011
setlist

Keren Ann is promoting her new album and is having an international career playing all over the world , she's singing in perfect English, her music is influenced by Englo-American music. (that's probably why she has an international career: cqfd).
Many people over here think that she's french, her french is perfect, but she's in fact from Holland, born in Israel.
Large band: as usual drums, bass, guitar, keys + 4 guys on violin & cello & Keren on vocals, acoustic & electric guitar.
Her music is a kind of cool pop-folk, tonight we're lucky as she's not only playing songs from the new album ( That's the rule here) but also a few oldies and the show is longer than what other bands are doing @ L'Album de la semaine.
Very sophisticated pop-folk songs, great songwriting and soft clear high voice.
We only had two "UFO" songs : one with a rapper (?!?) and her latest single " My name is trouble" which sounds like 80's electro -pop with a very disco sounding bass.
Considering her repertoire , we really wonder what this song is doing here and why it is the single, the video is funny though.
Very good show. We like her a lot @ Rockerparis.

Timber Timbre @ Fnac Montparnasse, Paris Feb 21 2011 5:30pm

Timber Timbre @ Fnac Montparnasse
Paris Feb 21 2011 5:30pm

As we came into the Fnac Montparnasse, there wasn't any instrument on the stage but a table and a few chairs, so we guess that something was wrong.
In fact the band was tired after doing the soundcheck and didn't bother playing so they just signed their record and left after half an hour.

They are playing tonight @ Maroquinerie with C.W Stoneking (we saw him last week @ L'Album de la semaine ) but we didn't bother going.
