"Dancing on Your Scalp" - Kate Wax

There's a very strong "The Knife" vibe going on with Kate Wax, but in a far more palatable version. Walking the line between singer/songwriter and electro pop.

Panda Bear @ La Gaîté Lyrique 11.29.11

If you've been actually reading this blog it would come as no surprise that I'm a massive Animal Collective fan. If not I'll help you out and refer you to my Coachella 2011 post here assuming I now have your attention. Upon booking my trip to Paris I stumbled upon finding that Panda Bear was going to be performing the day I had planned to fly home. Subsequently, I extended my trip for one day and then convinced my mother that she'd have a great time at a show I wanted to see. The venue was inside of what seems to be a modern art museum. Amidst some of the worlds most historic museums I was a bit surprised (and excited) to find that digital art had a home in Paris. I only wish I'd had more time to actually go and see the exhibits.

There are 2 music venues inside of La Gaîté Lyrique according to Wiki. Panda Bear performed in the "larger" of the two, with a capacity of 750. Wiki also told me "acoustic isolation was a high priority." (I nearly jumped out of my chair when I read this)

The projection screens behind the guys was likely larger than a movie theater screen. Combine that with a reputation for Animal Collective/Panda Bear/Avey Tare to have some of the most psychedelic visuals you've ever seen and prepare yourself to be in for a treat.

Junior Boys Curated Show @ Showcase - Paris, France 11.25.11

Upon booking my Thanksgiving holiday trip to Paris with my family I quickly jumped on RA's Paris Event page to see if anything was going on while I was there. I mean, it's Paris, so of course something was. With a lineup like this I absolutely had to make this part of my trip. Since I was traveling with my mother I figured warning well in advance that I would be back to our apartment just before sunrise was a gesture in good manners. 


Bang & Olufsen aka Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip & Rob from Grovesnor (live set)
Diamond Rings (live set)
Junior Boys (live set)
Caribou (dj set)

Bang & Olufsen

I had no idea that Bang & Olufsen was a Hot Chip side project until I was able to Google it the next day. I kept saying to my brother "His voice just sounds so familiar??" I've also been frequently called out for referring to just about everything in the synth pop realm sounding like Hot Chip, so I refrained in that moment...ironically. Guitar work from Rob was spot on. An nice mix of indie rock with a dose of danceable electronic tunes. Overall, a really great performance.

Bang & Olufsen

Diamond Rings was not my scene. A little to in your face gay pop house music.




The crowd started to fill in, in anticipation for Junior Boys to take the stage. It was a nice feeling to see Parisian's just as excited as Seattleites for what was about to ensue. As can be expected, they pretty much nailed it. I don't think their show requires much else in the way of explanation. Loved every second of it.


Unfortunately for me, I missed most of Caribou. My American stamina peter'd out around the 4:30am mark when he took to the decks. From what I did hear, it was rather euro-techno, and not his style at all which is right where he needed to be to feed the crowd at that hour.
