October 30^th

After thousands and thousands of hours in planes we landed yesterday on Canadian ground. Our stay in France went really well and the last 10 days went so fast that we had trouble remembering everything we did.

Of course there were two concerts in France. The first one at La Cigale in Paris and the second show in Havre/Normandie gave us a nice view of what is going to happen for us in March and April 2009. We can’t wait to come back. The warm Welcomes of the French crowd reminds us the one we’ve only had in Quebec City until now.

We had the chance to participate in a show that was on the radio in Orleans. One of the differences from TV Shows in France and Quebec is the technical side of the musical performance. We were really surprised to see that the “Playback” (mostly called “lip-sync” in Quebec) is a big thing for our French friends. In the beginning we found it a bit weird when they asked Louis Musique (our gear king) to fake playing piano with us on “Gate 22”. We laughed a lot at the scene … and since then we realized this is how it works there, but in Orleans last week the track didn’t work well (I never thought this would be possible with a CD??!!!!!) and we kept laughing on stage… I’m from the Milli Vanilli generation !!

We took some time to practice our new show for the Quebec tour. In fact from November 1^st 2 new songs will be added on the set list and we changed a bit the order of the songs to make it looks different to us because it’s been 3 years that we mostly do the same show. It will be special for us in the beginning. We can’t wait to face the challenge !!! J

Chachow!

Last night we recorded a live performance at « M pour Musique » that will be on TV October 22^nd on Radio-Canada. While we were in Montreal we did a couple of interviews.

Next weekend we’ll be in Toronto for a show at the Mod Club on the 18^th. From there we fly to France for our first concert J

For the snowboard fans: I gave an old snowboard to an auction for Julie Boileau’s foundation… All profits from the snowboard will go to Montreal’s Children’s Hospital. You have until October 15^th to bid.

Jetlag started to affect the band but most of all the diligence of the news editor… hehehe, sorry!

We just came back to Quebec City after an eventful stay in Europe. We did an FNAC tour (little showcases in record stores) and participated in the French Community Party @ Brussels in Belgium. We had a lot of interviews on the radios and with the French newspapers. Thanks to everyone for coming to support the band in the FNAC and sorry for those who were not able to get in at the door… The concert at La Cigale is already sold out (THANKS!!) but there are still tickets available for the 2 added shows at the Bataclan in March. There are still little details to finalize and then we’ll be able to put all the dates of our French tour for March and April 2009 on our website. J

Right now, everything is looking very well for our first trip in Europe since the release of the album!!

Now we are continuing to work on new songs and I think that I can confirm we’ll be able to present 2 new songs at our shows for November and December all across Quebec City. We can’t wait to see and hear your reactions about our new stuff… I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but “Long live the Quebec winter!!”

See you soon (I’ll get back to you before a month this time, promise!!)

Back in Quebec City tomorrow !
