Nada Surf @ Fnac Indétendances Festival
Parvis Hotel de Ville, Paris july 31 2010
Every year during mid-july mid-August the Fnac stores with the City of Paris are organizing free rock concerts in order to discover young bands every friday and saturday evening between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM.Parvis Hotel de Ville, Paris july 31 2010
It used to by the river @ Pont de Sully on a very nice spot, they've changed it a couple of years ago to the bigger Parvis de l'Hotel de Ville.
Probably between 5000 and 7000 people.
The Hotel de Ville is the main town hall of Paris, the "legend" is that it's so big that they don't know how many rooms it has ( more than 300 ).
It's also a beautiful spot but less glamour than by the right bank of the river Seine.
We've missed the first two bands Lafayette & Lilly Wood & the Prick ( we already saw them @ La Défense) as we were having an early diner by the river between St Michel & the mighty Notre Dame de Paris.
We arrived just in time to catch... the last song of Lovely Drifter Karen (Blonde girl on Pic above). Can't really judge on one song so check their Myspace for more.

There always has been something special between this band & France as the guys are fluent in French as they have study in a French High School.
They also had a couple of hits over here a few years ago ( Both of them on videos here)
They have an additional Keyboard & Trumpet player for an extra flavour.
Best of setlist with a couple of covers( They've done an album with only covers recently) including one by Depeche Mode.
Because of time limitations they've just played for an hour with no encore but they've done a very decent set, very enjoyable maybe not the best show i've been to this year but perfect in these lovely conditions.
They ended the set with both their hits( here on video) and " Blankest year".
2 hits on one video : " Popular" & "Always love"

Selena Gomez is adorable, even when she's "talking" like a robot. The Disney star lost her voice due to strained vocal cords, but she didn't let that get her down. She still showed up for her spot on Lopez Tonight yesterday, though she had to answer all the host's questions using a Dynavox -- a computerized machine that spits out whatever you type in, in the funniest voice you can imagine.Selena

Miley Cyrus is on a great track," '80s singer Tiffany, now 38, told Us Magazine at Comic-Con in San Diego on Saturday.

The girls of Odland
Special night Mon Petit club #2 with French band from Lyon Odland and L.A. folk lady Mia Doi Todd.
We are in the middle of July and on a monday night (the quietest of the week) but the International club is packed like on a saturday night.
It's also a special night as it's Oliver Peel's birthday ( and also Mick Jagger's, but that's another story).
This is the last show on their European Tour for the frenchies of Odland. 3 girls (beautifully dressed) and a man , on piano, violin & "Toy Instruments".
Between Folk & Classical with some crazy lyrics, they've stormed the International.

Plastic Bertrand is famous in the whole world for singing the "Punk" hit " Ca Plane pour moi". It's been known for years that the real singer is the Belgian producer author & composer of the song : Lou Deprijck.
In 2006 Plastic Bertrand is sueing Lou Deprijck because he's fed up of hearing Lou telling everybody he's the real singer
The Belgian justice with independant experts have analyzed the song and they've just reach a verdict : Lou is not only the original singer on "Ca plane pour moi" but he's also the only singer on the first 4 records by Plastic Bertrand.
Why's that ?
Because the record Cie thought Plastic was a lousy singer and that Lou should keep on singing on all songs
The great Rock'n Roll swindle !!!

The only Pic for tonight (LOL)
After seeing a legend: Booker T Jones from Booker T & The MGs, it's time to see PRINCE for a "midnight" show @ New Morning club 400 capacity.
Here @ Rockerparis were lucky to see him playing @ Grand Palais , La Cigale & @ RTL radio in front of 200 people ( he only played 3 songs in 9 min).
It's a fucking mess to get in, the organisation is complete shit, it's like the moshpit for a Sepultura gig, anyway after paying 80 Euros cash only ( i'd like to see how they're gonna declare this gig to the local IRS) we could find our "seat" into the inner sanctum.
It seems that 50 people could not make it because they had an argument with the security even though there was still room in the club. Morons.
It's hot as hell in there but luckily it's not completely packed.
the gig is starting very slowly as Prince doesn't really take the mic straight away but stays in the back even playing guitar facing the back wall.
The backing singers are the stars and are taking the lead.
slowly Prince is getting down the front for some soli and finally is singing lead.
Erikah Badu is here.
Lots of slow songs and other very funky in fact with had a bit of everything tonight including Disco.
Hard to believe he's there a few meters in front of us in this tiny club.
Of Course our photographer Patrice tried to take pictures for the encore and was caught and chewed out by security.
He was back two minutes later and found the perfect spot on the right of the stage with Prince's friends and family (it's useful to have a varilight) just next to the dressing room door.

What's nice with Prince is that the encores are longer than the "normal" gig.
Great atmosphere, fans know all the lyrics and prince is having them sing many times during the concert
The only thing I don't really understand is why he's playing so many covers with the catalogue he has. Nevertheless it was really cool to hear The Rolling Stones' "Miss you" specially with Prince impersonating Keith Richards (& Mick jagger) on the guitar.
Prince showed us that he can play on anything Guitar Bass ( for a couple of songs) and few other songs on the keyboards, he even asked a fan ( "a girl only") to hold his mic for a song.
Best job in the world for tonight
I'm probably not the N°1 Prince fan but I know for sure that i've witnessed an exceptional gig.
2:30 to 6:15 AM
Congratulations to Patrice who could shake Prince 's hand when he left the venue going through the audience straight after the last song.Leaving the venue by the main door. A Prince.
Funny to leave a club and to see the sun shining and even more funny to see the faces of people in the tube going to work.
In fact the news that Prince was supposed to play the New Morning was circulating a couple of days ago ( July 20) it was confirmed that day but he was to play on the 21st but was pushed back to the 22nd on the afternoon ( of the 21st).
do you get me ?

Shorter set (90 min) many songs were left out from the original setlist probably because Prince is playing a secret show after this one.
