 Great gig from the lady who wears the pants ! I came across this one by chance on a 2010 night, coming back home late, turning on the idle TV set and ... WOW !! ... ended up in bed one hour later ! This is why, first taken aback I missed the first minute. Not really annoying since this was the beginning of the A-Team theme intro but to be fully complete I've pasted the missing minute from a recent lower definition webcast. The rest of the show is straight from the clear TV broadcast. There's another lower quality pasted bit (only 26") between "More" and "Boys Wanna Be Her" due to a technical glitch, but again, with no real disturbance.

Enjoy and relish !

2 shows of the exuberant and prolific John Dwyer and his fellows. The first one shot from a hot roistering packed venue which fully renders the high energy of the Thee Oh Sees ! Praise to the taper who managed somehow to have a steady and clear image ! The 2nd show is from the same psychedelic ball of fire range but in a nice full HD quality.
Enjoy !

The elegantly boisterous Von Bondies at SXSW 2009. Clean clear quality as it was initially filmed in HD. Maybe too clean sometimes as some of the band's songs would sound fitter to a darker sleazier crammed venue. But well ... have always had a crush on Leann Banks (as the back cover and the menus may reveal ! :-)) who now plays with Amy Gore & Her Valentines.

Enjoy !

Cheers !

Nice seeing Shirley and her fellows back to the front. Especially because they seem to have come back for good reasons. So, rather happy to be able to enjoy a catch-up session from the days I shamefully missed them. The back and front covers are from pictures taken on the spot that day.
Enjoy !
Cheers !

UPDATE : Parts 7 & 11 are back online !!

I first came across Shaka Ponk in july 2009, pre Samaha-big-screen era. Viewing what may be the best French video clip ever ("How We Kill Stars" - see below for those who would still dare not to know !) urged me to see what they're worth on stage.

Mixed feelings at the time. Frah didn't seem to have taken on his front man role yet or maybe he was a bit tired by their still relentless tours. Things have much gone better since, but even in those days, one unquestionable thing was already there : these guitar-electro heavy beats + crazy crafty video footage definitely blow your mind !! Visually speaking, must be the best show (alongside the Flaming Lips') I've ever attended to.

So, enjoy here ...

TV broadcast from a show under the stormy skies of French Brittany. However, the troubled weather doesn't prevent Alison to be as feline and wolfish as ever and Jamie to deliver his scratchy clogged sound. A really nice mixture of fire and ice.

Another bite of IAMX's gorgeous dark electro. Don't expect multi-angle close up shots here. It was filmed from the audience (thanx again to the uploader, Neformat, and his patient stiff arm !), from the 10th row or so but it is HD and clearly gives you the feeling of being part of the show. The sound is sometimes (rarely !) muffled or saturated in deep bass but it is pleasantly watchable on the whole.
Enjoy !
