ALTERCATION en concert a Paris !



So here we are, ALTERCATION's first parisian gig, after more than three years of fake "exil"... or "experience" we could also say.
But this is something Vince and myself are happy to do, it is almost symbolic, this gig is going to be even more important than the showcase we did in August just because it's in Paris, and that's where everything started with The Blue Fairies at first.
It is true we never did The Blue Fairies songs again but I think you can hear the influences of my first band in some Altercation songs such as Souless City and Shallow that are obviously the sisters of Black Moment and American Dream.
I actually started to work on a new project under the name of "The Parisian Suburbs" and after some serious thoughts that I had for a while already I decided to work on The Blue Fairies songs again and try to bring them some of my musical expericence I've absorbed during those three years in London.
There is obviously a certain teenage rage in the sound that gives them that little sparkle that make them so different and touching. So my old Paris songs should live again next year. I started a myspace page for it with the old songs versions that you can find here : www.myspace.com/theparisiansuburbs
We'll probably perform one of the Blue Fairies songs at the Paris gig, it's like completely unavoidable and I'm already pretty sure of which one it is going to be.

This gig in Paris will start at 8pm with a support band that isn't confirmed yet as our last first support band pulled out. It should be known soon, probably Enosense which is a band from the parisian suburbs.

They will play 20-25 minutes set. We will be on around 8h40 and we will play a 40 minutes set with four new songs with a surprise guest on the guitar for one of them. And like I said earlier a nostalgic moment should have his place too.

To book your tickets you can go at the FNACS or CARREFOURS or even do it online here :

There is no place for shyness any more, it is going to be something else this time, something you have suspected in me before but that you've never seen yet...

SEE YOU AROUND "CATS"
