Cannes (F) @ Mjc Picaud
Our latest gig in the dpt was way back in July and our latest gig was in December, that gives us 2 good reasons to look forward to that show in Picaud where we arrived at approximately 5.oo pm.
It's funny because we had one of our fisrt show in that same venue. A heaps of good memories are coming back to my mind... bullshit the so called show was a crappy battle of the band where we lost against a neo metal band that wasn't even good and that may have called it quits back in 1998...
Our friends from ISP are already there, accompanied with the legendary ( as legendary as his newly hairdo dyed in red ) video clip director David BASSO. We say hi to everyone and we go to the soundcheck.There things are a bit slower, Toto wants to show why he's paid a huge salary ( = oo bucks ) tonight and is pretty demanding toward our sound.
Once the soundcheck is done, the guys from ISP take us to appear on their new video, the plot is a kinda punk karaoke in which a lot of bands are gonna have a sentence to sing. We sing ours sorta brilliantly... To be honest it's pure nonsense, I don't know what it's gonna look like once everything will be done, but David and ISP look quite happy!!
In the meanwhile the guys from BURNING HEADS arrived, we eat altogether, then it's already time to go on stage.
The Mjc Picaud is crowded with 150/200 youngsters. One day a prophet from Antibes ( basically a city near Nice, our hometown) declared in his infinite wiseness: " It's great to play far from home", as far as I'm concerned I think it's good to play in our hometown too. The audience moves, some sing alongs there, the room is filled with friends and common faces, everyone is happy and we are too!!
We let ISP go up on stage. I m' now part of the audience to watch the show. It smells like sweat, guys are spitting on themselves, a very huge Punk hxc show just like back in the days!
Eventually the BURNING HEADS are up on stage. I'm not a huge fan of many bands, but come on! They are BURNING HEADS for christ's sake!!! Their show starts over energitically and slow down a bit just to play a couple of good ol' reggae songs. A fantastic setlist, hits only tonight. There's nothing to say, they'll always be the best punk-rockers made in France, and I'm glad they are !
