October 30th
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 1st 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!
