Wow, another French band at Popscene tonight. Check them out. They are what you call art-punk-electro, whatever that means.

2 French bands: Pheonix & Danger

I love the Pheonix. Happy music from Paris. My favorite songs are: Too young and Lisztomania. They are so good. I'd love to see them live.

Danger (Franck Rivoire) is an electronic musician from Lyon, France. He expands on the 80s action-film sounds of Kavinsky (Record Makers) and takes them into mysterious territories. Powerful compositions that evoke a landscape that belongs equally in an Amiga video game and to a fictional animated film involving explorers deep in South American jungles stumbling upon a colossal obsidian pyramid. He is currently hosted by the Ekler’o’shock label. They were at Popscene for Halloween. Great dance music, but I can't find good youtube clips to post here.

Them Crooked Vultures @ the Fox Nov 19th

Them Crooked Vultures is an interesting band with the drummer from Nirvana, the lead singer from Queens of the Stone Age and the bassist and keyboardist from Led Zeppelin. Their new album is out today in the UK and tomorrow in the US. This Thursday they are playing at the Fox in Oakland. It is their only US show. Check it out.
