WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Tapes 'n Tapes On The Streets in Paris

Posted about 1 year ago
So I'm scanning through the programs of the national venues, like I do, and lo and behold, my local venue (which is across the street from me, I cross it, walk a couple of seconds, and I'm there) finally has a decent act. Tapes 'n Tapes, to be exact. So just days after I heard the promo song of their new album (Hang Them All) and got genuinely stoked for the new album of the band that delivered one of the best songs in 2006, I can look forward to seeing them live again just seconds away from where I live. Yay!And to properly celebrate that, I found on youtube this vid from blogotheque, where they filmed Tapes 'n Tapes roaming the Parisian streets while playing the magnificent Insistor. Enjoy, and especially watch the ad lib of kicking the fence to add that sound to the song.

  1. Bartleby says I've always wondered what it feels like to be living near a concert venue. I bet it can be annoying at times with the crowd sort of obstructing all access to your home. Still, I'm green with envy. -- Nice video by The Blogotheque team. I'm blown out by their sound engineer and the perchman. It'd be really interesting to see waht material they use on these shoots.

  2. SA says Well, it is a tiiiny venue. More of a club really, so the huge crowds or noise aren't problems I have to deal with. ;) Maybe you can e-mail blogotheque. I'm sure they have a site and that there is a way you can contact them.

  3. Bartleby says Ah, the pleasure of human size concert venues... Nowadays, it seems that people want it bigger and louder. -- Did you see what U2 did? Going 3D? What a megalomaniac statement! (I think I've got a friend who knows the Blogothèque's publicist - I'll ask him whenever)

  4. SA says I've heard of it, haven't seen it yet. I've never been that much into U2, by the time I was born they already made bland stadium rock. ;) Friends in the right places then. ;) It is fascinating though, how you can get such a good sound right in the middle of Paris.
