We just finished our sound check for the midnight show in Mans tonight. It is 5:15PM and it just stopped raining to our delight. Since most festival shows are outside we are more and more interested by temperature!! In fact, now that the sun is back we have time to look at the racecars on the track. Here is what most of our days look like: lots of road and waiting to play an hour and a half of show. What is good about that is we get to use our imagination to kill time. Besides talking about temperature with the entire festival crew (because we’re not the only ones concerned by temperature) Philippe (not Morissette but the gentleman who drives us around France) worked on a backdrop that we’ll put on stage tonight. Right now, from near and far all jokes are about little Karl’s wiener dog (named “saucisson-sur-pattes”). Which isn’t really that funny, but we’ll have a very nice wiener dog on stage with us tonight and that makes us really happy!!

(I hope that you can follow me even if I use parentheses a lot…)

Last week I had the chance to discover 2 excellent bands on the same festivals as us. Ebony Bones and tryö (I’m a bit late I know…). We’re very lucky to share a stage with good bands. We also saw people Body surfing on ‘’smilin’’’ and a team of 5 firemen came to help me when I hit my foot running around like an idiot without looking… The French are taking really good care of us!!

So that’s it! Fingers crossed to have some courage to go in the mud tonight and we’ll keep you posted…

… P.S: we get a lot of emails about the music for our songs… A songbook has been released in France and we are trying to make it happen in Canada… and ideally free on our website soon… In fact, we read all emails and we appreciate your comments!! Thanks for giving us news about you too J
