Summer is almost here and with lots of stuff to do in regards to finishing off small projects and remixes and so on.
So thats my excuse for not keeping my schedule with this blog… sorry about that.
Just returned from Paris from a little inspiration/work tour to the city of cities. Love that place. Always stay with the greatest view to Sacre Coeur – not sure I spelled that right.
Heard some good music there also. Went to Bataclan one evening and discovered some bands I didnt know before.
49 swimmingpools is a french band singing in english. Piano, vocals, guitar and drums. Same guy plays piano and sings – Elton John wise. He has a lovely voice this guy and the song writing is also good, but in my opiniuon they should skip the piano and get a bassplayer instead. But thats easy to say as an outsider.
The drummer was nopt very in to it though – seemed like he just popped something before he went on stage. Funny to look at though.
Next band was Heroes from Rome – Brooklyn based hard rock band with great players and nods to both pop and punk. Amazing drummer – really active – maybe too active sometimes. I could buy an album with these guys – really performed well. Dont know how they sound on CD. Maybe nicer – in the bad sense.
Last band that evening at Bataclan was Elbow. Manchester based very controlled rock band with choir girls and small string section – everything in place and a grandiouse like sound. Very british.
Amazing singer, but a little boring in the long run with a show like this where everything is controlled down to the last detail.
Wonder how they got their name.
Very good songs though and very popular with the crowd. Obviously very well known in Paris.
