I've recently become a little obsessed with all things 80's-90's, a leap from my usual 60's-70's listening.
Sonic Youth, Hole, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins to name a few. one main requirement being gritty, guitar driven, distorted bliss. Best consumed with coffee and cigarettes.
Grunge is totally back for me, it being the first genre I listened to in my attempt to break free from main stream radio listening (93.1 Star FM, Wagga Wagga) at the age of 13.
This summer will be my summer of grunge, no wave, noise rock and alt rock.
Sweet as.

Dim. 15 nov. – The Gossip, Gossip

I was totally excited and couldn't wait to see Beth, Nathan & the sweet Hannah back on stage as I couldn't attend their 2 previous private parisian gigs in May (La Boule Noire) and September (Nouveau Casino). In May, I was attending PJ Harvey's gig on the same evening which was one of my best gig this year...and in September I entered the contest but didn't win any ticket..It was a private gig organized by a radio !
Anyway here I am on a sunday evening in front of one of my favourite Concert Hall , The Bataclan in one of my favourite area in Paris. The Gossip are gonne rrrrrock the place for sure !
It's my 4th Gossip gig. The first time I saw them was more than 2 years ago, not far from here in a tinier place called "Le Nouveau Casino". I had already heard from them thanks to the TV program "Tracks" a few years ago but never had the oportunity to see them live. This first gig was incredible ! The place was great, the audience was excellent, the sound was good and the band crazy ! Beth is soooo amazing !!! The ended up the gig with "La vie en rose"...Then I saw them at La Cigale and at the Olympia Hall where I managed to meet them and take pictures and had my cd signed :D Haha...I was 27 but felt like a teenager ;)

Talking about last sunday, I became totally excited when I noticed that Ssion was opening for them...This band is sooo cool ! I heard about them thanks to a contact here on last.fm a few months ago. They're even better on stage ! I've loved the videos behind them and the way they were dressed etc...Hope to see them back in France as soon as possible.

Gossip came on stage at 9:00 pm. Hannah entered first the stage. She was wearing a Nirvana sweat shirt. Then the bassist and Nathan came on stage and the first notes of "Dimestore Diamond" began...Beth was still backstage but we could here her voice as she started to sing from behind the curtains. Aaaahhh the audience was getting mad and myself included ! The show was going to be insane :D
They are in a great mood and seem to be really happy to be back around in Europe. As usually Beth interacts a lot with her audience and began with a hello to one of her friend in the audience.
I can't remember all the setlist but the show was intense, really intense. I've loved to hear the old tracks as much as the new ones. Their last album Music For Men is one of my favourite this year.
"Love Long Distance", "2012", "Heavy Cross", "Pop Goes the World", "Four Letter Word". It was great to hear all of these, Live !
Talking about the older tracks, I'd have loved to hear "Jealous Girls" and "(Take Back) The Revolution"...but anyway, you can't always get what you want ! Huh ;)
At then end of the gig they covered Tina Turner's song "What's Love Got To Do With It". I loved it ! And then during "Standing in the Way of Control" Beth came in the audience and made the tour of the place. She is so amazing and awesome ! I remember the 3 first gigs I attended, she used to ask the audience to come on stage with them...I guess it will be increasingly more difficult for them to do so now with success rising !
At the very end of the gig Beth asked the audience to sing Queen's famous song "We Are The Champion". AMAZING !

It was such an amazing gig and I clearly can't wait for the next one in May 2010 at the Zenith in Paris. The place is bigger and charmless but I'm sure they will rock it !!!

If someone remembers the setlist, please tell me ;) Thanks.

Love xoxo
