Take-away show(-like): Between These Walls

Here is the “Take-away Show” we shot earlier this month. We “stole” (or were inspired by?) the concept from lablogotheque.net, a french website. There are several principles, in order to make a video that is like an anti-high budget polished, 12-cameras, but still a little bit interesting. One of them is making only one sequence shot for the whole song. A second one is choosing an unexpected place to shoot and use it as it is, without moving/bringing stuff.

Mark Olexa was filming Seb and myself. We shot/played the song live in a bathroom. Seb used the toilets, the dustbin, the shower and a tambourine as percussion. The song I choosed to play is “Between These Walls”, which is my LP second track of part 1 of the album. It was a lot of fun making the video.

Mark edited it, worked on the grain, the tones, etc and here’s the result.

Live and interview

Hot from the vault, “Paper Cup” played live on the RSR (Swiss National Radio) with Seb on drums, Jacques on bass and myself on vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica. Followed by an interview.

Check it out here!

Gig at the Elvis & moi, Fribourg

Fête de la musique, les Arcades, Fribourg, on a roof top. (It’s nice to play on roofs)

Very near the gothic cathedral that  we can’t unfortunately see on the picture…

It started to rain a whole lot when the set was just over, we had to run to save the gear…

Another one from the record release at the Bad Bonn, taken from the right of the stage.  Sorry the cam was not a wide angle one, so the rythm section aka Seb and Ben G are not on the frame, being too far left. (well if you search you can notice a bit of Ben G).

RSR Radio Paradiso

Yesterday we went to Radio Suisse Romande la 1e for an interview and a song live. The program’s called Radio Paradiso and it’s always fun to go there. There’s a cool atmosphere in this big radio studio.
