China diaries
Hey!
chengdu seems so far away!
We had a great time. Even though we stayed most of the time at our hotel.
Sauna, hamman, swimming pool, and tsingtao was all we needed
And we saw some real pandas, which was awesome. Pedro got some new panda accessories. Uh uh!
The show kicked ass. They had some visual effects, big balloons to throw in the audience, and the best thing ever:

China, day 1&2
Hi there,
We landed in chengdu yesterday after a 20hr trip. After a 30mn hotel stop, we were off to the soundcheck…yeah! RnR!
Today’s panda day, we’ll be visiting “Panda Base”. Pedro’s eager to meet some distant family members.
We’ll be on stage at Zebra Festival at 7pm.
See ya.

Spring Rock'n'Rolls
Hello Friends,
it’s been a whiiiiiile!
Hope everyone’s doing great.
I guess I just got fed up with social networks and modern means of communication in general.
Yes, it can happen (!).
Still, we spent most of our time writing new songs, which is the most important thing, n’est ce pas?
Hopefully, it will be worth the wait (and the silence!)
-First some news:
we’re sad to...

Manila Ice, Korea On
(ooops, let me apologise for this post stupid title…)
That’s it. Our october Asian trip is almost over.
As usual, it went so fast.
Manila seems already so far away.
We didn’t get to see any beaches, (there are more than 7,000…) but we met some very nice Filippinos. The audience seemed ecstatic while we were on stage, singing along, dancing etc. Nothing can beat the...

-24/07 is Douzy Rock in Les Ardennes
with lights & videos it should be a great way to celebrate our vacation…
(vacation, not really,...
See you in dour
Dour was cold, wet, muddy & fun! Cypress Hill was playing at the same time, so we couldn’t check them all, we didn’t see many bands anyway. We did the whole performance concert w/lights & videos, it was fookin awesome. Julien was back on stage, Pedro did more Johnny Clegg moves on crack up. Cool! X
PS: Thanks to the guys who waved a britanny flag!

The Planes, The Performances & The Parties
Hello.
After 8 days in Japan, playing, celebrating and sleeping sometimes,we’re home. There was a true sense of we might never come back to Japan (the tour being postponed et al) which meant that WE (us and the fans) were so excited about this tour. We arrived minus julien who had been replaced for these shows by Tahiti 80’s 7th member, that is to say Mehdi Zannad (aka Fugu). Mehdi...

Metro/Cosmo/Politan in Kyoto
Hey,
we’re in kyoto. It will be our first -proper- concert here. I remember playing a showcase w/ pedro in a club with Fantastic Plastic Machine. I also sang the song we did together, and we followed this short performance with a DJ set where we did all these stupid moves, it was fun though. There was also a unforgettable dinner at guiro guiro with the chef cooking meals especially for us....
R.O.C.K.I.N' in Japan
Hi there,
we’re back.
it feels great.
Yesterday, we played at Bay Hall in Yokohama. The show was awesome, great crowd. We must have played 22 songs…For the first time, we performed 4 A.M on stage. It made sense to play that song here in Japan, as I wrote some lines in my hotel room in Shibuya.
(By the way, we went to see the “Giant wish tree” -as in One Parachute-...

Hellooooooo (with a loooong echo)
after a great week, in Austria, Germany we’ll be heading tomorrow for a “one night only” concert in Switzerland, in Geneva. ‘should be fun.
I think I remember playing there years ago, we even slept somewhere in the building, in some kind of dormitory. That’s how life was back then. The audience was quiet, as often, on this side of...
