Ohh La La Fest .2012

Kitsune.Maison.Night

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 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.  

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.

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. 
Once 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). 
YELLE 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.
Ahhhhh, 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.
Besides 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!!!
