Paris
 

I knew I should have gone over a day early. The little facebook announcement saying they were enjoying a day off in Paris confirmed it. Bet Lee was in Place de Vosges. Coud have made myself bump into him. Can't wait for the gig though.
Think I may come home single though as My gf is not being in any way good to me right now, I'm expecting her to explode. maybe I'll just keep her ticket.

Thanks for this sy2004... some really cool moody shots there. Shame about the photog's signature though.

This Is Not There will be gutted that they played Shadow Of A Doubt in Paris.

thanks sy2004. i'm gutted that I see T on lying on the floor with his guitar. nothing like that in Brussels. well there's ATP and Dublin to come so hopefully.

i wonder what they were shooting for TV.

According to me the highlight was Silver Rocket with a wonderful noise jam.

They are playing a french TV show called " L' Album de la semaine" ( Album of the week ). Bands doing this show are playing in front of an audience of 150 people, 6-7 songs from their new cds (and sometimes they add a couple of oldies ).
Audience is seating in stalls 3 meters in front of the band which is playing on the floor , so it' s like having them playing in your bedroom.

canal plus fr, they're recording the show tomorrow...AAAAAAAARGH!
Dunno why but music shows on french tv are always pretty nicely filmed/recorded, can't wait to get a chance to see this...fingers crossed.

you're right nic, and the gigs for french tv are awesome. damn you frenchiesees!

hello

hello. did they film that tv thing yet?

do they film it on today and broadcasting it as well??? or they will be broadcasting it later??? i checked that page nicfit sent, but I could not figure it out. I have no french.

oh yeah, it seem like it is on tonight at 18:10 on Canal Plus and then 11:55 on Canal Plus Decale...hmmm. am I right?

is there anybody who can record it ?

seeing as it's on french tv will they all be naked?


(have a childhood memory of french tv being really slutty....sorry)

So Shadow of a Doubt is played in Berlin, Brussells and Paris but NOT London. I feel like we were robbed. :mad:

...............but we did get Hey Joni instead :)

If New York is "The Big Apple", and London, "The Big Smoke", what is Paris, "The Big Cheese"?

Tom Violence was definitely the highlight for me follow by Shadow of a Doubt. Sometimes I wish Kim would put a bit more effort into her singing though.
