De retour de Norvège, Texas in Paris aka Baptiste Hamon, 22 ans, commence à faire parler de lui dans les milieux indépendants scandinaves et au sein de la scène parisienne qu'il côtoie depuis 3 ans. Poète imprégné des concepts situationnistes, étudiant ingénieur, romancier, créateur du mouvement artistique "Ennuiste", Baptiste Hamon multiplie les facettes et sera à coup sûr, avec sa bouille de jeune Bob Dylan et un charisme désarmant, une figure incontournable de la scène folk de ces prochains mois.

Texas in Paris (aka Baptiste Hamon) is a french anti-folk band formed in 2006. After one year playing in the underground rock'n roll bars of Paris (Shebeen, Pop ITexas in Paris (aka Baptiste Hamon) is a French anti-folk band formed in 2006. After one year playing in the underground rock'n roll bars of Paris (Shebeen, Pop In, OPA), Baptiste (also called Boozin' Batt, in reference to Ramblin' Jack Elliott) went to Norway where he planned to record his first album by the end of 2008. And I must warn you right now: this band is great. Great, yep. Seeing Texas in Paris live brings you back to the beginning of the 60s, when Dylan brought fresh air to the musical scene of the time. With real talent, impressive charisma, and some provocative lyrics that sound like watchword (« Real punks ride horses »), Texas in Paris concerts - solo or not - are the best thing I could wish on you to cure your gloominess. It's as if you had crossed early Dylan with old Daniel Johnston, along with a bit of Adam Green and Townes Van Zandt. And believe me, the combination is extremely promising. Looking forward to hearing a full record from that cool punk guy, definitely. He'll go far, just go and see him live to believe it. Full of ambition - and irony ? - he claimed after a concert in July 2007 : « I want to become the world's biggest star within two years ». I won't bet my poor wife on it. But I am pretty sure that Texas in Paris can become the new musical attraction of the coming months. Just like Adam Green or Devendra Banhart were, some years ago.

GREATEST SONG EVER ?
Salut Baptiste, bonne soiré hier, merci. Tu n'as pas encore la date de la prochaine ? Voilà mon cinéclub dont je t'avais causé, prochaine (et première) le 22 : The Folk Singer, un docu très roots accompagnant la route difficile de Possessed by Paul James, onemanband texan semilégendaire, un gars aux racines profondes qui lui déchirent le coeur. En première partie, Cowpunx from Hell, un court de Wasted Pido, onemanband italien plus rock, "sur les One Man Bands, le Rock'n'Roll, le Pêché, la Route et la Rédemption", à l'occasion d'une tournée commune l'hiver dernier avec Shériff Perkins, de Paris - ils remettent ça, en plus gros, en janvier-février 2010. Jette un oeil aux trailers sur leurs pages ou la mienne si ça te dit. Ratel
