Chapter One Came & Went

The Chapter One-night mini fest our Collective, TCB, put together went swell. Sido and her Rocking Collages gave the tone to a sometimes furious, sometimes cool Folk and Rock & Roll nite: Bastien and his powerful acoustic French love songs, The Tsunamis that threw fire to a crowd readily entranced by their high energy Surf-Rock, D.o.M´s enraged end engaged vintage post-grunge Rock bullets sang in French , the TCB Collective´s resident DJ´s Dancefloor and old skool mixes and last but not least our own 45 mn set that was a moment of pure fun and and musicality :) Next gig for the F&R´s coming next saturday at the Ambassadeurs event with over 2000 people attending ... off to rehearse !

I wanna thank the TCB team for the overall effort , the Photographink Collective for the images ,the Indifferent club for their trust and all the young dudes that grooved with us !

Compilation Essentielle des Disques Motors

Se souvenir de l'heritage des disques Motors c'est de parler de l'heritage culturel de l'incontournable Producteur independant Francais Francis Dreyfus. Francis Dreyfus nous a quitté l'an passé a le grande tristesse de beaucoup d'entre nous qui avons encore une idée de l'indé qui n'est pas que de se coller un jean serré et une paire de converse eclatée et ecouter un remix des Gang of Four au Social Club. Cette compilation, sortie posthume chez Motors, raconte en 3 CD ( accompagné d' un booklet superbe et artworks d'origine ) un pan entier de la musique independante Francaise. Se souvenir que Francis Dreyfus avait signé un certain Christophe ou un certain Jean Michel Jarre contre vents et marées ( entre 100 autres comme Léonie, Bahamas ou Alan Kan ) donne idée de ce qu'a pu representer ce label sous son patronnage. A se procurer, evidemment.
