The good thing with Friends With You appearance at the Pictoplasma NYC event was to discover a show with meanings bringing their work further than an impressing kawaï good-looking shape work.
Here you will see the most entertainable catchy parts, but other parts included messages dedicated to the promotion of true love between people, mexican-like esoteric figures, and even from time to time a healthy sexually explicit reminder.
We want to make hundreds of babies with you.

Hawnay troof live
A true stage masta is the kind of guy who can enter any pitifully crowded small-town venue to instantly stick anyone's mind at the first second of the first track as if he was playing in front of a 10000 people stadium.

Nylon 100% 30th Birthday - Tokyo
Without a big surprise, Youtube quickly removed the Jun Togawa live video because someone complained about copyright violation... Sorry it is now missing here.
Fuck low battery, fuck cheap camera, I was anyway missing the pinnacle: Jun Togawa's high lands of sweetness and screams on the two-sided Mushi no onna mind-blowing live version: almighty queen raising the live from the fragile first track attempts to the fury tears and shocking lashes of the last one. Not even music anymore: life is on stage, borderline, bright and pure, both weak and strong, and sincere as so few can be: almighty queen.
Nylon 100%'s was a legendary early-eighties club when it was headquarter of a whole side of japanese creative scene and it seems these two nights raised many questions about the meaning of such a celebration, for audience as for contributors themselves.
Indeed, everybody seemed to wonder how it could be possible to keep on and give a proper live testimony considering how these guys used to be so glamourous, fresh, innovative and creative 30 years from now ?
As much replies as musicians, courses and histories, of course some of them better than others.
As years go by, it seems that many of the attitude and visual relevance was lost in way, to focus more on the musical content itself, with both positive and negative consequencies.
Hikashu probably gave one of the best astonishing set, full of humour, ideas, nonsense, from experimental sides to legendary hits. For someone who heard Makigami Koichi radical yet cartoonesques acapella solo recordings, I have to say live appearance reveal their whole meaning and power.
A pleasure also to hear the fancy-full parade of Space Ponch friends again live after their french tour two years ago (you can check detailed article just below).

Ghetto Tiers Monde - Tropika Matta
Run by dj Alfred Hitchcock Magazine (Chocomix) and dj Arc de Triomphe (Cartilage Rds) , Ghetto Tiers Monde is a monthly event project dedicated to emergent new ethno-ghetto music.
As Baile Funk or Kuduro tidal waves hit local scenes, opening favela's door to massive booty-shaking, and pride of its local scene, last years saw awesome increasing or deepo changes in music production in Africa, South America or Balkans.
GTM purpose seem to highlight hidden artists who stay confidential outside of their countries or communities, but MOREOVER to offer a massive dancefloor shameless and meaningfull sweaty socca tornadoe.
Tropika Matta World Première Live 100% perfectly challenged the update of Philippe Lavil at the age of freaky coupé décalé mixed with ravaging booty-bass lines.
Across overall humour touch, awesome was the efficience and seriousness involved all along the 45 minutes set, original lyrics creating a new yet unknown music gender, kind of mad "ragga-dada" yelled and by the mysterious Captain Matta, supported by his legendary shadow producer.

Kania Tieffer
What a long way she did since previous appearances, probably made of road experience allowing a great self-assertio.
Still we enjoy personality, homemade sick noisy beats along up-and-down vocal lines, and the good balance between background tracks and live singing, guitar or keyboards.
But the miss improved overall live rythm and transitions so much that strength arise the best way it could.
Save your soul, read the Magezette.

Being witness of such an involvment, purity and radicalism, free of any pose, fake or tricks is a thrill I wish I could feel more often.

La Veuve Moustachue report
A few pictures taken from La Veuve Moustachue live events in Rotterdam (Worm) and Brussel (Nova cinema)
With a special magical feeling I had in watching this concert into a real Cinema venue, among such a nice and enthusiastic audience.

Kokusyoku sumire

Kokusyoku sumire live / Bordeaux / L'Inca
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(with all my deep apologies for such bad quality videos)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have to say I first heard about Kokusyoku Sumire just a few days ago, thanks to Maruta's invitation to go to their show.
As Maruta is member of Phnonpenh MODEL, and also organised Juicy Panic tour in Japan, I was very curious about this event.
A quick look on youtube and website highlighted their belonging to a japansese gothic-lolitas scene, but it also appeared to be really much stranger and stronger than most of the current production in this area.
And their live act really proved they go far beyond any visual aspect, developping a unique chansonesque and neo-opérette instrumental universe with only violin, vocal, accordion and some piano parts, driving a whole set without any drums, from children song to polka, from showa military sides to Nina Hagenesques lyricism or even a kind of Rondo Venezziano humour (with wonderfull musical earrings).
Delighting and precious is the way they can play virtuoso in the freshest and simpliest way, their interpretation sometimes reaching such striking and powerfull peaks that you'll forget everything and be ready to follow them anywhere.
Another review and interesting interview (in french) from their live in Aix is avalaible here.
