Dear promoters...
Don’t announce an superawesome support band when the said gig is sold out.

[Pictures] We Have Band - Le 114 (Paris) - by... →
Who knew there would be so many people in Paris on a Sunday night ?
When we arrived at the 114, a new hype venue in the centre of Paris, we had to wait about 10minutes outside, because the place was really packed. I guess when people say the words “free” and “hype” together, they don’t think, they just go.
Once we were inside, we found out the place was really...

Day 31 : The other bands
Cat.1 : The Headbangers
[♪] Fans of guitar riffs ? Then you should keep an eye on Hawk Eyes. First known as Chickenhawk before finding out this name has been already used by another band, Hawk Eyes are able to play some heavy stuff. If you like zombies, you should watch this video, directed by Danny North and featuring some familiar faces. The new record is called IDEAS, it will be out...

Day 30 : the linking post
Lone Wolf
I think this is the record I’m the most looking forward to. After having heard 5 songs from this record, I can now tell you that this album is going to be a great one. I hope you like synths, high voices and good guitar sounds. Oh, and I’ve heard that Laura Groves (Blue Roses) is making an appearance on this record which is a huge bonus. Less depressing and sexier than the...

Watch Day 29 : Sketches
Sometimes you realise you can trust someone more easily because you share the same musical taste with this person. It’s like “alright, you listen to the same stuff as I do, it’s like we live our lives in the same way and like the same things”. It’s a bit how I felt when I first got into Sketches.
Fun facts :
- This Sir, Is War, one of...

Watch Day 28 : Soulmates Never Die
When people say “Soulmates Never Die”, I first think of that Placebo line from Sleeping With Ghosts (“Soulmate dry your eye. Dry your eye. Soulmate dry your eye. Cause soulmates never die”).
In Leeds, it’s actually the name of Joshua Lewis’ musical project. I stumbled upon his work by looking at this video on Vimeo. Then I...

Watch Day 23 : Peter Broderick
Or the multi-projects-man.
This is a guy I admire for so many reasons! He’s done so much in his live that I actually don’t know where to start. I guess this website (who links every CD/LP/stuff he made/appeared in) will give you an idea of how amazing he is.
He played instruments with Laura Gibson, Horse Feathers & people I don’t know…...

Watch Day 20 : Wallis Bird
What a cool girl she is! Bird is 29 (she will be 30 in about 10 days), she’s Irish, and she rocks.
She was pretty much born with an acoustic guitar in her hand. But during her childhood, she lost her left hand fingers in a lawnmower accident (and she was left-handed). Fortunately, 4 of them were sewn.
She has learned how to play guitar by putting her...
