Timber Timbre @ C'est Lenoir- Black session, Paris May 02 2011

Timber Timbre @ C'est Lenoir - Black session #327
Paris May 02 2011
billboards near the Eiffel Tower & setlist

Strange session with Timber Timbre and their dark folk-blues-rock.
The girl on the left on violin & keys , the singer, dead center on guitar and percussion, the guitar player & other instruments on the right.
Most of the songs are slow, dark & the singer has a low voice.
Not the kind of music we're used to @ Black Session but interesting nevertheless.
You really need to be into that kind of music to appreciate it.
So mixed emotions.
The singer is moody as he went to see someone seating on the first row and we really thought he was about to punch him in the face as he was probably taking Pics (No it wasn't Patrice LOL)

We already noticed that these guys are moody as they were supposed to play a showcase @ Fnac Store before their gig @ Maroquinerie in February and they didn't play because they were tired and didn't seem to bother... and they didn't want people to take pics.

Metronomy, showcase @ Fnac Forum, Paris May 04 2011 6:00 pm

Metronomy's showcase @ Fnac Forum,
Paris May 04 2011 6:00 pm

Before their sold-out show @ Cigale tonight , Metronomy is playing a small showcase @ Fnac Forum.
Lots of people attending and the gig is running late, the band might be busy so they're only playing a small 17 min -4 songs set.
They're playing acoustic but the music is still the same... crap but it's funny and the band seems to have fun playing acoustic.

After the gig Metronomy is posing for fans, Nice !

Selah Sue @ L'Album de la Semaine Canal+, Paris May 02 2011

Selah Sue @ L'Album de la Semaine, Canal+
Paris May 02 2011

setlist

New Soul Reggea- Raggamuffin sensation Selah Sue is promoting her first and new album by playing a short 7 songs (in fact 9 songs as she did the last two songs another time) set in front of a selected audience of 200 people.
All white band, she sings like a black girl from the caribbean (which means eating half of each word) even though she's a cute tiny white blonde from Belgium.
Cool music even if it's not our cup of tea, the band is very tight with a nice drummer who looks like he's barely in his late teens.
She has a great soul-rock voice like a black singer so it's funny to hear her talk in french between songs as she has a very thick Flemish accent.
Some of the songs are quite good with a very modern soul feelings with a groovy up-tempo, some others are a bit too ragga for us

Very nice discovery, good show
