Belle Histoire

Belle Histoire is a very very young band from Covington, (Kentucky, U.S.A). The band is formed by:

Jane Smith at the  Vocals and Keys
Aaron Hunt at the Guitar and backing Vocals
Wes Comer at the  Drums
 

I discovered them in a weird way! They, one day, decided to follow me on Twitter and I don't know why but I wanted to see who was this band, so I went on their facebook and find the songs.... I COMPLETELY FELL IN LOVE WITH JANE'S VOICE!

I couldn't imagine that such a voice could come from a 16 (very soon17) young girl. She was, before, the lead singer of the young band Formulas, well they all come from other bands. 

They have just released their 1st EP called "Spirits", where you can hear the beautiful Jane's voice on 4 amazing songs. If you like the Pop/Folk/Country but Rocky music then you will love them.

Follow them on their Official website, Facebook page, Twitter, Youtube Official page,Purevolume page and their Tumblr blog.

You can buy the Spirits EP on Itunes and also buy a physical copy of it by sending 7$ to bellehistoiremusic@gmail.com (if you're in the States) or 20$ if, like me, you're in the "international shipping"!!!!And if you asked them in a kind way, they will sign it! ;)

Life In Film Live in Paris at the Burberry Store.

Yesterday, (Tuesday 19 of April 2011) the band Life in Film was in Paris to give a "private" showcase at the Burberry Store in Paris (Boulevard Saint-Germain).

It was a strange day for me! First the band told us about this gig one month ago so I was really excited about that, then The band told us to email them to be on the list and on the evening the store told them that it was not possible to have some "fans" on the guestlist... So I was really gutted but I was supposed to go in the afternoon just to see the band and tell them "hi".  And finally, the store told them that they can add some persons so as I was already back at my flat, I run back to the store to be on time for the show!!!! Aaah That's a thing I would do for any band I love and the guys were nice enought to try to make me and my friend come inside to see them....

At 8pm, they came on stage, on a tiny stage in a corner of the store and they really gave an excellent show.  I really thought that most of the people who were here won't care of them and will just keep on talking or just have a look to the clothes in the store, BUT no, several persons were dancing and they had a good feedback at the end of each songs...

The guys seems to be very happy to be there even if it was really hot inside of the store and that was not a problem for Edward who kept his Duffel Coat during all the gig and even after!!! After the gig,  I could talk to the band, especially Dominic, give them a huge thank you for the invitation .....

The band will be back in June at Le Nouveau Casino with Cage the Elephant and Tribes. Please this gig is not expensive (15,10euros) so you should run to buy a ticket and go support them! :)

The Twees

The Twees, I discovered them exactly like I discovered Modern Faces! They've been introduced to me by the great Telescope Records Company . 

The Twees are a young Four-Piece band from New-York (U.S.A), they are:

  

                                                                                          Daniel Edwards at the Drums

Jason Abrishami at the Guitar and lead Vocal
Jon Zuckerman at the Guitar 

David Kaplan at the Bass and backing Vocal

They've been named  "Band of the Month December 2009" by the Deli Magazine and named "Band of 2010" by Sonicbids Spotlight.

What do I like in this band and why do I wanna introduce them via my blog?

Well, some are saying that they sound like the Strokes, I hate comparison and Im not a fan of the Strokes (Ah) but I love their catchy music and the fact that Jason's voice is quite special which is a positive point for a new band. They're also really kind and always in touch with their fans (another good point to touched the public! :) )

 They have already released several EPs, Lessons To Connect  in October 2009 , Hepburn Shades and Unfair Affair in May 2010, then  more recently The great These Girls in January of this year!

You can find them on their Myspace, Reverbnation, Facebook, Youtube page, Twitter and more especially on their Offical Website.

A very important thing for them: you can vote for them on the Battles of The Bands website. You can vote once everyday and it's free...
