A humble tribute to one of the greatest rock'n'roll goddess of our time. A particular place too where not so many happened to sing and play, which truly shows how essential the lady has grown over the years. Neatly shot by the BBC staff, the setlist matches the setting, with nearly half of the songs coming from her virtually solo album, "Uh Hu Her", released the same year. Even if PJ and her band are in great shape here, on a personal level, I must admit I rather go for the early period, the nineties, when Polly seemed to be like an untamed fearful kitten with an underlying rage hard to hold back. I last saw her in a festival (Werchter) in 2011. Polly was graceful as ever and the show ran flawless, no doubt, but the setlist would have certainly fitted better in a more intimate hall. Anyway, she's still today one not to be missed and this is why I've added a few extras (from the early nineties ! :-)) and more particularly, I think, one of the best cover ever made of a classic.    

Enjoy !

Cheers !

Jesse Hugues is a real charm ! Even if the man is a living paradox, swinging between staunch catholicism, sins of the flesh and republican yearnings, it's hard not to like him. As he has often mentioned it, he's been blessed and saved by some rock'n'roll god, ... though, I guess, he had certainly more the word "goddess" in mind when he said it  ! Helped in this by his long time schoolmate, Josh Homme (QOTSA), this rock'n'roll redemption has taken him from quite a personal misfortune to a limelight cheerfulness. This show is no exception to the rule. Even if it was my second one in a week (Pukkelpop before) and the setlist was pretty much the same, I couldn't but enjoy again the open generosity of "the devil" and his goblins. Again, the gig was full of student-like pranks and spirit and interaction with the crowd. This is exactly what gives this rock'n'roll and infectious fun flavour to EODM's shows. After all these years, no doubt Jesse hasn't forgotten where he's coming from and the blessing he's been living since he got out of it. In a way, he's still  like the boy who greedily tears away the wrapping paper from the gifts under the christmas tree. Keep it up, Jesse !

I've added a short interview made on the spot by the French radio, Le Mouv, since Jesse seems to hold some people in his heart from this radio, as he mentioned it during the show.

Enjoy ! 

Cheers !

Ghostly larsen lovers, this is for you !

Hailed and praised many times on this blog, here is at last a full cracking show by the electrifying and irreverent JC Satan. From the rock shaking town of Bordeaux (F), the band formed by two Italian-Argentinian girls and three French guys delivers a rough primitive sound, often associated to garage rock and to their lavish American counterparts, the Thee Oh Sees. However, they single out through Paula's often incantatory and full of reverb voice and from a kind of  religious and heroic fantasy inspiration.

All this can be checked out in the video excerpt below with the intoning "Hell Death Samba", kind of scary nursery rhyme, and with the extended version of "Your Are Good, I'm Not Bad" during which, after a short introducing lull, the thunderstorm is no doubt hitting hard Arthur's Gretsch again !

I've added a few extras, among which you'll find an interview of the band about their early budding years and their future prospects. I couldn't grab the English subtitles but if you're interested in, you can watch what it is like here : http://www.the-drone.com/magazine/j-c-sat%C3%A0n/

Anyway, great band. I can't wait to see them again, twice in november ! :-)

Enjoy !

Cheers !
