The KOOKS + CSS + Mystery Jets + White Lies Festival des Inrocks Paris Zénith Nov 17th 2008


First row

Last day for the Festival des Inrocks , tonight it's the small Zénith but it's not sold-out, around 2500 people in here with a 70% female audience mainly between 14 and 18 years old , most of 'em very cute.

First band on is WHITE LIES , we arrived as they were finishing their last song so ...

Then we have Mystery Jets , they are making the effort to speak an almost perfect French , people seems to like them but they left me cold as ice, it might be because of the ridiculous outfit or the 80's style pop rock music.

CSS are next , this almost all female brasilian dance-rock band is very good on stage. i've seen them a few times and they've always been fun to watch.
On cd the music is not as exciting as it is Live. It's a pity.
CSS has a talented show-woman as singer and she's sexy .
Sad the lighning is crap most of their set is performed in the dark.
What the fuck was doing the light engineer ? , with this kind of music the lightshow should be like a bonfire for god's sake !!!

Last on stage are headliner The KOOKS. The girls LOOOOOOOOVE them .
Second concert in Paris this year , first one was in a sold-out Elysée Montmartre on April 15th.
Their Pop-Rock is a bit similar to the Babyshambles with more radio friendly songs.
Nice encore : the singer is back on stage to play 3 songs on the acoustic guitar ( including a new one ) on his own before being joined by the boys for a few more tunes.
Very good gig.
