thats mad! i saw them at this great little club that was in an abandoned railway station. very appropriate i thought.
i want to know why all the bands i see here write songs in english, apart from the advantage of having a wider audience. It always occurs to me as strange when i'm standing in a room full of parisians where my friend and i get odd looks for speaking english and then the french band comes on and sings in english. but the between song banter is french. i guess its not so relevant with UR because their music is not lyric based unlike this painful little folk band i saw the other night...
france is ridiculously cool. well, paris anwyay. and a little overwhelming like learning to swim again. you know its gonna be great you just have to figure it out first. and cold too.
send me a copy or link to the interview, id love to read. bijoux
