The cascade

Although not a band, it sounds like a good name for one. Here is a moment of zen.

The Streets

I have only ever been a casual listener of the streets but seeing them perform live (and for their last time in Paris) they were AWESOME. I wish I could figure a way to see them again. Mike Skinner was a great performer, was really entertaining and quite ebullient.

Interpol

Absolutely great performers who sound like they sound. They weren't too talky but then they were there to sing and sing they did and were quite nice with the audience. 

Arctic Monkeys

I bet that you look good on the dance floor. They were really great musicians but need to work on their stage craft. No charisma whatsoever.

Fair rain

There was no rain forecast for the day. Unfortunately as always. the weather men lied. 

Polock

Cool band from Barcelona

Paris Rock en Seine

Death in Vegas - so cool and completely music and light based. 

At the foot of the tree covered hill is where the four stages of the festival are placed, all surrounding it

Seasick Steve, very much american rock. He was a real tramp as he left home at 13.

CSS - the girl is nuts - but great energy

Yesterday was the first of the three day music festival of Rock en Seine. It is at Parc de Saint-Cloud technically just out side of Paris ( just across the Seine). I have discovered three new bands which are fantastic, seen a few more already I liked, and watched a megaband, who put on a great show, but I just wasn't that interested. Respectively Seasick Steve, Herman Düne, Death in Vegas, the Kills, CSS, Kid Cudi, and the Foo Fighters (blah). Overall a great day, except for the bit of rain which constantly threatened and only made good on the threat after Seasick Steve and Death in Vegas (which was the last show of the night)
