Oh, menno! Everything went a bit silly at this 2nd March 2011!
Because my wife asked me forcefully, still in in the pharmacy insulin for our diabetic cat (Photo play when trying glockenspiel) to get, I lost a lot of time and trickled in very late or in the Paris Fleche d'. I was standing only to 21 clock 20 at the box office, fired my 10 € admission fee (very fair to 4 bands) when I saw my friend Yves behind me, who had two free tickets and had come alone. To take advantage of its excess space in guest list, but it was too late, I had made the ticket sales already and make the whole thing was irreversible. € 10 shooting in the air! Well, I hope the clay proportion is also the bands. But that's my bad luck potential was not exhausted, because when I was on the way home wanted to change the metro line, heard a loudspeaker announcement that made it absolutely clear that the Metro company was now over. I had to take a taxi and another 10 € wandered into another of my purse. Most galling was the fact that I calculated the bands that I'd like to see, had pronounced Rah Rah and Sea of Bees, by my pharmacy course missed. Damn!
Rah Rah are a six-member (usually they are seven, but now only six) mixed-sex, Canadian indie rock band to me our friends plate made of pre-court attention ( click! ) have. I-tunes she had one day to the "Best New Canadian Band" is selected, and people who have been right there told me that they musically with Los Campesinos! or Arcade Fire are not comparable.
Sea Of Bees is again the project by Julie Ann Bee, who had argued with another musician in my absence, a set of acoustic and electric guitar, described by many viewers as a very nice was. To console me, I might at least have their album Songs Of The Ravens purchased for 10 € and I still nice with the natural-looking artist entertained.
But I have missed not only bands, but also of the view:
Mona from Nashville, Tennessee but I would not really needed. A bombastic Poser band without substance and not one good song in the repertoire, but still experiences a relatively strong hype. The green-beaked guys around singer Nick Brown (a kind of optical Joe "The Clash" Strummer) could hang out the hard and sounded like a bad copy of Kings Of Leon (good grief! Colleagues are already bad!). Just keep them off when they should be set before you in the summer festival stages. Uses rather the break to go eat. A clear case, I like it a lot better Mohna as Mona.
The last band of the night were then ran the Canadians Wintersleep. A pleasant, very solid indie rock band, but it managed only rarely today, let sparks fly. The postpunkige bass, groovy drums and the nasal Nörgelstimme by Paul Murphy (Bob Dylan meets Paul Banks) did indeed fallen, but the really exciting moments were sown far and few between. At no stage raised from the concert really, although some songs were delivered fast-paced and tight. Something is missing this band. Musically they are somewhere between REM, Guided By Voices, Interpol, but almost never reached they whose charisma and catchyness. The concert was thus elevated average, no more and no less.
All in all a rather Duch adult evening concert. Perhaps I should rather go to hättte Peter Bjorn & John in the packed International? Was free, but saw people who were late, but virtually nothing. says at least Rocker Paris. Sauheiß and it should have been. So nothing missed? Moment, the rocker Paris talks about many beautiful Swedish women. Damn!
