I've thought about it before this concert, as musicians and the concert audience to deal with emotional day fluctuations.
How this is actually when a band makes merry, mood music, on the day of the concert, but tired and rather depressed is? Assuming it out anyway, puts on a big smile and pretend, as if to hug the whole world? Or rewind to make the program a little listless down and hopes that people do not realize that so? And is it not easier to write sad and slow music, so that one can not be adjusted when you're tired and burned out?
similar questions for the concert-goers. What if you actually Bock on lush, loud rock, has just posted on the date on which it is a lovely soft Twee pop concert? If you imagine it in front of the stage and says "oh just look how cute and charming?" Or you think inwardly: "Metallica (the picture) or Slayer, that's it now, based In today's February 25, 2011 I actually had to stand loud, nasty guitars and jaulennde heard on the way?. to the location in the Metro Queens Of The Stone Age and Foo Fighters on my headphones. I desperately looked for Slayer, but I had not funny enough on my I-pod. Angel Of Death would come as good. Too bad only, working primarily with Please Do not Blame Mexico and Allo Darlin 'rather than Süßwarenpop Metal was on the program.

But off we went only once with the French Agnès Gayraud aka La Féline . A tall brunette girl with electric guitar and beautiful voice. Sophie Marceau Jane Birkin Kehlchen. Sort of. I had seen her a few months before the Trois Baudet, and was not 100% convinced of it. But today she liked me excellent. Along with two male band members on synthesizer and drums, they celebrated sensual, melancholy and melodic guitar pop love, alternately presented in English and French 
(and often within the same song!). It was enough to click with his tongue! Their song material was variable and corresponded almost exactly to its stylistic self-assessment on Myspace: Folk Rock, New Wave, Pop. A bit of everything. Blondie, Blonde Redhead, Calexico, François Breut, Stereolab, Metric, various influences mingled and gave a sparkling mix that has been presented with much authenticity. La Feline has two EPs to their credit side, Wolf & Wheel of which is the last output . 
made 10 minutes later, the Australian / British Allo Darlin ready '. Their Australian singer seemed tired from touring and squatted for a while on stage, before it started. She had discarded her shoes and performed on white stockings, which had holes and the view shares to a red-painted toenail. A whirlwind with ukulele, this Elizabeth, who was struggling today but.
The tour bus the band had recently gone to waste and worry about the financial salvation, it seemed to add. Nevertheless-and it is expected to be very high, she gave her very last, hopped on his toes, spun back and forth, just to give the audience what it expected: Entertainment, good fun atmosphere. And here we are at the top are touched on. How does it feel for a joyful music-making band, if you're really dead tired and would rather stand down and has to sleep? Certainly not as good, but there must is performed in the show business. 
Allo Darlin properties' it anyway, despite the hardships for their transport to conjure up the guests with a smile on the lips and bring a few people to dance. In the set there were even two brand new songs ( Europe , You're Still Young ) good to me right away and went into the ear continued the course of the last album. 60 ies pop with lots of charm, romance and catchyness. For a while I gave myself to daydream, was whether the music fresh spring fever and imagined how I, 18 years old, me with a pretty girl, meet on a meadow in bloom and we stop doing kiss tenderly. 
see In my mind's eye I am their little firm breasts to stroke, so that stand upright in it the bud before I was brought back abruptly to reality: nearly vierzigjärig, fat grown and been married (at least after all, a great Woman, I lucky bastard term!). You're Still Young sang however Allo Darlin 'on stage, but I had problems to believe in my case. .. Setlist Allo Darlin ', La Flèche d'or, Paris:

The guys from (Please) Do not Blame Mexico , now on the program were, however, have the youth still on their side, although they are no more chicks. Mid to late twenties should Chamoux Maxime and his backing band (Thomas Pirot-drums, Raphael Ankierman-Bass) and his old maxim has accumulated in recent years in other projects a lot of experience. The pianist and singer is one of the City in long Toyfight got signed, but the piano player and backing vocalist of the gorgeous Mina Tindle. 
And way sounds like then (Please) Do not Blame Mexico. Here and there fresh, innocent and melodious love-Pianopop the intoxicating variety with the touch of French touch, which makes things so kind. The English lyrics are of course extremely well in PDBM not like Shakespeare, but bears the typical fanzösischen accent. It has wit, has the whistle and so it is no wonder that has the newly released debut album Concorde very good reviews (Magic, Voxpop) retracted. A few (if one's just actually takes quite a lot) out of the existing tracks is known as a fan already from previous EPs ( Carolina Now 2009, Michel Foucault 2007), 
but it would have been a shame to let atmospheric blast including Durango , bribing Lonesome Drivers or The Behind outside, especially since the EPs in tiny number of pieces were published. pity only that, despite some good songs of the sparks are not really wanted to skip. The feel-good package was in me today denied the right person, I lacked the steam, the joy of playing that I had learned to love at Toyfight Sun
the end of the set but it was atmospheric, for no Less than Marguerite Olivier (the guitarist of the famous Syd Matters) played trumpet and there was even a violinist who funk up the matter addition . So then knew the last track The Protocol convincing and really made sure that my interest in (Please) Do not Blame Mexico remains intact, especially since the album is already fully recommended. Soon they play as support for the Shout Out Louds, look mer even know if I'll be there there. .. (Please) Do not Blame Mexico .

The Airborne Toxic Event
from the United States stood as the last band on the bill. Many viewers had already made their way home and so certainly the most commercially successful band played the night before the fewest people. The Americans have been since early February in Europe, were also toured through Germany (including Cologne, Luxor, Frankfurt / The bed) and had been in Paris in various venues (International, La Machine du Moulin Rouge, La Flèche d'or) three concerts in which I was not there. My first impression: positive. The band played tight and punchy, and I enjoyed playing the violin at the only woman and the rasping voice of the whiskey-soaked muscle shirt bearing singer. The Airborne Toxic Event gave the Bums, which I had previously missed.
But then the tide turned. The attitude of the singer (a cross between Bruce Springsteen and Robbie Wilimas) I was increasingly on the nerves. He opened his pants and thick affected upper cool and the other musicians to post all they were worth. Now I noticed on how bombastic and anthemic, the songs were. Bombast, pathos, stadium rock, all the things I can not stand. TATE looked like the missing link between the Kings Of Leon (würg!) and the Killers (a lot more gag!). Their show fell into each other like a soufflé. Maybe I was too blinded by the very firm bottom of the keyboard player, because when I switched sides and no longer saw her butt right in front of my eyes, I noticed that the sound of the band a lot of hot air was in there.
thumb meaning probably down. Where they are definitely not as smooth and as banal as the Killers and the singer's voice has a really interesting (at least live, on MySpace it sounds much less rough). A band that can be given, but need not. Setlist The Airborne Toxic Event, La Flèche d'or, Paris, 25/02/11:
