Just wanted to blog quickly about the concert at Grrnd Zero that I went to tonight -- It'll probably be my last, and I will be sad to leave it. Both the intimate Gerland venue and the impressive Gorge de Loup space have given me many tender memories of French hipsters and their lack of taste in music.
Tonight, this horrendous country-esque band was the headliner, and you could tell that people in the room didn't quite know how to react. This might have been the first time ever that any country act has performed in France, as far as I could tell. Not to mention that, like most country music, it was horrendous. Strangely, the internet claims they are from Brooklyn by way of Athens, Georgia, but I honestly don't understand how that is possible.
Thankfully, the night started off will with Portland experiment/noise duo AU, which I found easier to swallow than most noise groups. There was even one song requiring audience participation during which we were all encouraged to scream. The French hipsters didn't quite know what to do with that either.
