If The Struts (see previous post)  is undoubtedly the band to follow on this side of the Atlantic, here are the new comers you can't miss on the other side : Fidlar !! Promoting the "ride, booze and party" creed as a lifestyle, these L.A. Ramones-like punk rockers wipe out everything on their way (have a look at the second video below !). But they also have something more, as their first eponym album released in January hammers the point. The full speed electrical steamroller put aside, they also prove to be talented and eclectic musicians. A really great first album if you like the "headlong surf-garage-punk" side of rock, but not only ! Feels good to be in danger again. Looking forward to seeing them live (missed them at Pukkelpop, last year, ... shame on me !) :-)  
Enjoy !

*********************  New new parts 6 & 9 are up again !!  *********************

Sometimes, you stand in front a band and this is just obvious. Right men /women, right place, right time ! So, here are The Struts ! A new vintage rock band that really sounds like the British bands we've learnt to love. Luke Spiller's voice is amazingly deep and powerfully smells the northern Derby's moors. It often challenges the other instruments and often won. Quite impressive ! As moving on the front, he's also a charismatic showman, not without reminding us of a still moving leader from the sixties-seventies ... ! At so an early age of their hopefully long career, the accuracy and the deftness of the other musicians are also quite outstanding !   Well, to cut it short, a band to follow in 2013 for sure ! Looking forward their first forthcoming album !!
Enjoy !

Let's be poppy ! Ok, I can feel your dubious first reaction. "He just wants to feast his eyes with the gorgeous singer" Partly right ! (look at the shots in the Lowlands video ! The guys at the camera are definitely men !!) But, I must admit, I do also like "Vive La Fête" simply because they don't try to fool themselves and just are what they are. Initially formed by Danny Mommens (ex Deus) and Els Pynoo (God ! What planet does this girl come from ?!!!), the band produces a catchy pop electro that always sounds uninhibited and optimistic. It feels good sometimes ! Influenced by the 80s new-wave for him (see a typical recent cover from the heyday, here !) and by Serge Gainsbourg for her, the words are ... well ... let's say innocent and snappy but this is what brings charm to the band.
Unfortunately, I spend hours on this but I couldn't find any high quality (don't mention hd !) VLF concerts on the net. So, these are definitely 2 dvds that are a better watch on your computer screen rather than on your brand new hd tv. There are also some freezes and glitches at times. But, the music is still there !
So, if ANYONE, here, has a great quality full concert from "Vive La Fête", or even, the initial broadcast (on a Belgian channel ?) of these 2 shows please, let me know !! Even if it takes quite a while, I'm ready to start the whole thing all over ! Thanx and enjoy !

NB : some of the menus have been made from photos taken from my first visit to  "Vive La Fête" on stage, last year, at Pukkelpop. Great memory and persistence of vision ! :-)
