Other Lives @ Studio 105, Maison de la Radio for Le Mouv' radio, Paris Nov 03 2011

Other Lives @ Studio 105 , Maison de la Radio
Le Mouv' radio & Arte Live Web, Paris Nov 03 2011

Another day, another concert for ROCKERPARIS.
Other Lives played yesterday night @ Casino de Paris for Les Inrocks Festival we liked what we saw so we're back, this time in the cozy studio 105 of La Maison de la Radio (300 capacity).
This gig is broadcasted live on Le Mouv' rock radio (for the sound) and on Arte Live Web ( for the video).

Very laid back cool atmospheric ambient pop-folk-rock with cello, piano, trumpet and even flute. All the musicians are playing several instruments.
Tonight they've played a much longer set than yesterday ( around an Hour) with a very soft and quiet version of The Ramones' "I wanna sniff some Glue" (?!?) and they ended the set with Leonard Cohen's "The Partisan".
Great gig even though i'll probably add some more up-tempo songs with more electric guitar because we like when it fucking rocks from time to time.

Agnes Obel + Florent Marchet + Other Lives @ Casino de Paris, Inrocks Fest, 02 Nov 2011

Agnes Obel + Florent Marchet + Other Lives
@ Casino de Paris, Inrocks Fest, 02 Nov 2011

Very quiet night @ Casino de Paris for the first day of the Inrocks Festival, surprisingly it's far from being sold out.
Very easy to get down to the first row, lots of spaces in the pit so the conditions are perfect as it's a bit warm in this theatre.

We arrived too late to see the first band Balthazar so let's go straight to Other Lives an American quintet from Oklahoma, They are playing a very ambient psyche folk music, very relaxing. They will be perfect for a soundtrack.

Then we have French singer Florent Marchet, he's welknown for being very funny and sarcastic. Cool set of American folk-pop, a surprise guest Gaetan Roussel from French rock band Louise Attaque joined him on vocals for a cover of swiss singer Stephan Eicher.(Here on Video)

Last but not least is Danish piano player and singer Agnes Obel.
She's very popular in France and her first album "Philharmonics" sold more than 200 000 copies.
She's on the piano on the left of the stage with cello and harp players on the right.
Very soft songs, hard to believe that she's playing a rock festival but as she's headlining you could hear a pin drop during her performance as no one's speaking and is listening religiously.

Very good set maybe she could have played longer as she was only on for an hour.


Check our previous review of Agnes Obel @ Fnac Store in Nov last year.

AC/DC for Stadium Tour in 2012

AC/DC to Tour next year

I don't know how I didn't notice this before but my friend Ray from old London Town has some good news and it's dating back from early october.

From Ray's Gigs :
"08 Oct 2011.Remember where you saw it first:
I bumped into AC/DC singer Brian Johnson near Berkeley Square in London.He told me AC/DC will play 20 stadium shows all over the place in 2012 including Wembley Stadium.Chainsmoking as usual and still talking of his love for fast cars and going to car shows in America where he lives most of the time. "
