Ohh.La.La.Kitsune.Night.2012

Citizens!.2012
Ohh La La Fest .2012

Kitsune.Maison.Night
@el.Rey.(Los Angeles, CA)
Thursday.Oct.11th

This is my first time attending this event and it was good.  i LOVED the music they played.  It wasn't  busy and  you can count the people in here.  They where ALL mostly seating along the side of the theater.  Zowie and I sat by the stage.  After 30 minute, people started to arrive and line up along the stage, but not that many. 
Lescop.2012
Lescop was the opening band.  Even though they sang in French, they rocked it OUT!  The lead had some moves that at first, I chuckled, but later, admired.  The guitarist that was on the left hand side of the stage was very interesting to watch.  He looked like he belonged with Mars Volta.  He had this 70's thing going, nice  white dress shoes, tailored pants and shirt and can't forget his fro.  Very nice.  
Lescop.2012
Since Lescop sang in French (well, it is Kitsune Night), British band Citizen! killed it!  Not what I excepted.  I just recently downloaded their debut album, "Here We Are" and I am loving it (A MUST GET).  Think of the vain of Franz Ferdinand (Alex Kapranos produced the album) and Friendly Fires combine.  They sure lived up to the album's disco rock grooves and what shiny shoes.  Nice.
Citizens!.2012
Tom Burke (Lead Singer) had on some nice patent leather looking loafers that reminded me of Michael Jackson.  He kind of moon walked or was it just me wanting him too.  If he did, he did it very well.  For sure , I'll be back to catch, Citizens!...AGAIN!

I tried to stick around for Housse de Racket, but they took so long to set up.  It was already 11:10pm and I was getting sleepy.  So, I decided to leave and I bet they threw a great show.  Until the next time but, definitely check out Citizens!  This is the band to watch for.

\m/ - K!CK A$$!!

Housse.De.Racket sure caused a racket!!!  I was NOT gonna come to this concert until I read the opening band and they did NOT disappoint.  The first song they played was not so great, but after that, it was a great performance from them.  This is the first time for Housse.de.Racket  in the USA.  I have no idea if they are going to Los Angeles or San Fransisco.  If not, they are gonna miss out on a GREAT band. 
Housse.de.Racket.2011Once I walked inside Webster.Hall, they where playing The Rapture "How Deep is Your Love?".  After Housse.de.Racket performance, they are playing the whole "Fever To Tell" album from Yeah Yeah Yeahs.   They are keeping it real tonight or YELLE requested this?  It always made me wonder.  Take a second and notice the music change.  I have the feeling that the headliner picks the music (sometimes).  Right after "Maps", the  lights went out, but they did not go on until "Y Control".  They should of waited after "Modern Romance" (LOVE that song). 
Housse.de.Racket.2011YELLE came out with that dirty green looking shag again.  I noticed her symbol was not up.  She only did two costume changes and they where different outfits from last time.  No orange brite leopard outfit, just regular color with some gold.
Yelle.2011Ahhhhh, they  played "le musique" (made my Top.50.Songs.of.2011).  The crowd was very well behave until.....  I don't know if they where a couple, but they just shoved some people to the side to get to the front.  People gave some dirty looks at them, but no one caused a scene.  It surprises me because this is the city that pushes and shoves you if you don't move.  So far, no one has started a fight.  If this happened in Los Angeles, you would be crucified.  Of course, they came towards  my side and a girl next to me noticed that they blocked my view.  They where tall by the way.  She leaned over and told me, "people are such a$$hole$ sometime's".  "True, but this what you get at a concert", I told her.  She was cool to noticed my tough time looking over them and they where D!CK$.  They spoke to each other non-stop and looked at there phone.  I never get that.  I NEVER pick up phone during a performer on stage.  ONLY, during intermission.  I'll text back, but I'll NEVER call.  That CRAZY!!!  Who wants to yell and compete with the music and crowd?  Why look at your phone during a show?  Lonely?  Have a short attention span?  A$$hole!!!  But...it's a concert.
Yelle.2011Besides all that, Yelle kicked A$$ from the last time I saw her at the Music.Box (Los Angeles).  This time, I had batteries in my camera,  Yea!!!

FCVK! FCVK! FCVK! I forgot to put my fully charged battery in my digital camera. $H!T. I must have spaced, but how many more pictures do I need of YELLE, right?

Today was Judgment Day and nothing happened. Hum. Who Said that May 21, 2011 was the day that God came and took the good people? I thought God did not judge us? I don't believe in the punishing God. But...as you can see, nothing happened and YELLE was AWESUM once again. They sure went crazy with the smoke machine, that it was hard to see her and the band. I was surprised the alarms didn't go off. We where smoked out.

Of course I was surrounded by DRUNKS (do I attract them) and this lady was spilling her drink on my head. I didn't say anything. I moved up closer to the stage to avoid from saying something to her. Sure enough, there was another FCVKn drunk! Another girl. What is going on? But I was good about it. You are at a concert and this is what you get when you are up close. Every time this girl bumped into me, I kindly pushed her. I was surprised she did not say anything. Usually when I do that, they turn around. Her friends would move her, but she will come back towards my side. WHYYYYYYY!!!!!

The opening act was French Horn Rebellion and they really broke out with a French Horn. I wanted to see them after I did not get a chance at Coachella, so I arrived early. To early, that the place looked a bit empty. My friend Steven was there and we chatted for a bit at the bar and once French Horn went on stage, we moved up to the front. They where...just...okay. They lost my interest after the first song. It was not the technical problems in the beginning, it was the music. They started with a good disco beat song and it went downhill from there. They did play there remix of Two Door Cinema Club "I Can Talk". Nice.

YELLE hit the stage at 10:30pm. There was a lot of cool lighting that I had to start using my phone to take pictures. I really don't like to use my phone because it takes crappy indoor pictures. When I downloaded my pictures to my computer, some pictures came out good, but they could of been better if I did not forget my FCVKn battery.

With some technical problems (French Horn Rebellion), being smoked out and being around drunk girls; YELLE gave us some CAMELTOE! on her last costume change. What a great way to end the night during Judgment Day.

\m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ - AWESUM!
