Sonic Youth in Paris - La Vilette Jazz festival
with Guests Mats Gustafson, Michel Doneda and Jean-Marc Monterra.
Sounds nice! Tickets are 30 euros, seems they're not on sale yet though... Anyone thinking about going ? |
Bloody hell! Yes, I am! It'll probably mean not going to the DDN show in London, but, fuck it, I love Paris.
EDIT - And it's at Cite de la Musique. The show there in the autumn of 2005 was one of the best SY shows I've been to, and the quality of the venue played a major part in that. I'll be there, somehow. EDIT 2 - Oh, it's not at Cite de la Musique, or at least not the same hall as in 2005, it's in the Grande Halle. |
I'm so jealous that going to france is just a hop over the channel.
I should move to england when I get my shit together. |
I've booked through fnac. I don't know if I'm actually going to be able to go, as my girlfriend's birthday is the next day, but I've booked anyway.
|
this sounds hell of an interesting show. thinking to go.
do you think it's going to be whole impro. set? |
I've no idea what to expect, but, after I begged and grovelled a decent amount, my girlfriend has given me permission to go, despite the fact that it means that I'll be out of the country for much of her birthday. She's a good lass, that one.

And are you still going to the Daydream Nation show? |
I don't know if I'll go to the Daydream Nation show yet. I'm hoping to go, but I did say to my girlfriend that I wouldn't go to both if she didn't want me to.
I'm very excited about the Paris show - I've spent most of today checking out possible places to stay. |
I could imagine em doing an SYR6 style imrpov set.. would be glorious... half tempted to go myself...
|
I've got a ticket.
The prospect of seeing them twice in a couple days span showing two rather different aspect of their music is quite motivating. |

No fast ways of getting there...
|
You can also take your bike, cross the Channel, go to Paris and find a good record store...

I don't know what kind of place you're looking for, but Ibis hotel all over Paris have that "Happy 30" offer, you get half price when you book more than one month in advance. Rather interesting. :) Will you take Eurostar to go to London Bertrand? I must check for tickets. |
Thank you, Lalie. I'll have a look at that. I've booked somewhere else, but I can cancel that booking easily.

I will take the Eurostar, yes. I'll leave friday in the morning (if I'm still umeployed, that is), to be back on sunday. I haven't bought any tickets yet. I tried to got some when I booked for the Roundhouse but wasn't given any answer for it was too far ahead in time for the Eurostar/SNCF site to drop schedules (and good prices too maybe). |
well that's my ticket & eurostar up to london booked! i'm getting the eurostar train on the 30th after la villette. maybe i'll actually say hi to you this time bertrand!
ps. peter brotzmann and han bennick have been added! i'm hoping they won't be playing DDN, although it's a jazz fest so i'm pretty sure they will be doing some more experimental stuff. looking forward to it in a big way! |
I guess I'll be hanging at l'Horloge (Métro Porte de Pantin line 5, direction Bobigny, exit Sente des Dorées, n° 210 avenue Jean Jaurès) before the gig. I'll try to find a seat by the windows, close to the door, and I'll grab the ones I recognize.
