2 colours for a two-voice set this time.The initial idea was to put two "coloured" bands together who both nicely switch between the lady and the gentleman for their singing.The fact that they share an opposite cast for the instruments was also part of the fun ! As such, I couldn't fail picking a Blood Red Shoes' gig down the shelf ! The band has been one of my favourites for quite a while now (2009) and I never miss them when they come and play around. That was the case on this one again. As they often do in festival, they opened the main stage quite early. So, being an early riser (??!), on saturday again, I had to rush to make it in time. Laura-Mary and Steven showed up round 14:30 and I remember being looked at in a very puzzled way as I was running across the park not to miss "Welcome Home", their new loud opening track ! This was my first show of their great new album and I didn't want to miss a single part of it. It felt so good to see them back even if playing a festival stage always have a "too big space for just the two of us" feeling. But playing Reading the day before didn't seem wearing them out that much and the setlist was nicely shared between precious "oldies" and nice new stuff. A very enjoyable show that traditionaly closed on the blowing-off-steam punk "Je Me Perds", the ideal tune to make you go thirsty for a pint before the next act ! One regret though, shame on me, I just missed their meeting and signing session they set up through Facebook that very day. Grrrr !!! Shall I open a F.... account ?

Purple is a much recent band, from Beaumont, Texas. I'd already read about them through a review in a magazine but I must admit I'd forgotten the guys by the time of their first tour here. Their debut effort ("409") was often described as a kind of raw dirty catchy-poppy punk jam. Well... what is obvious here is that Hanna, the "lady dude" singer-drummer of the band, is just a ball of infectious energy, shaking, twisting, wriggling, cuddling, screaming, whispering ... "everything all at once" !
More, Texas' climate is hot. Evidence is here confirmed by Hanna's outfit !! Anyway, a very refreshing cool band, 100 % fun, who won't shake or reshape the holy tablets of rock'n roll but are definitely up to the excitement of discovering all the things they'd always dreamt of !

Enjoy !

Cheers !

NB : didn't mean it at all first but thinking over the last three posts, I guess it got to turn out this way :-) :








Freaking weird indeed ... !!
