We saw Bumblefoot at “Le Floride” in Nantes last night! This time everything went normally, unlike a certain concert in Paris last spring where his fretless guitar was “lost” somewhere under the stage. Dude… But this time, wow. Some guys in straight jackets were pushed on the scene, untied by the local medics, then played a normal performance ;-) that rocked!
That was the fifth date of the european tour for the release of the new album entitled “Normal”. The lineup is Dennis Leeflang (drums), Joe (bass) and Randy (guitar) from The Nerve. After the concert, we learned that it was only the fifth gig Joe and Randy were playing with Ron! Gr8K also tried to talk Ron into coming here in Rennes, arguing that Matthias Eklundh already knows the place… goody-goody, we’ll see what that becomes ;-)
Update: finally got my hands on a scanner, so… be the truth about my secret identity revealed!

Jad Zooïd is a jazz-rock trio from Rennes I discovered at the music day 2003, then saw again one year later at the Jazz à la Harpe festival 2004, where they kicked some a**es until late in the nightmorning, as if Médéric Collignon hadn't done so enough just before.
Well it seems they have an album in the works!

High Tone played a damn powerful set last night at the 38th Rock'n Solex festival, transmutating the electronic dub from their albums into raveparty-esque beats!
Too bad we nearly had to fight our way into the concert... hopefully next year's organisation team will remember that only one entry for 4000 people is not enough. For their defense, that was the first time the festival was so big, and the concerts were a big success.
Oh, and the festival is primarily about Solex competitions :-)
