2007.06.21. MANU CHAO w/ Radio Bemba Sound System @ Koolhaus

quote:

Manu Chao was born in Paris on 21 June 1961. His parents, both of whom came from Spain, moved to the suburbs shortly after his birth so Manu spent his childhood growing up in Boulogne-Billancourt, then in S�vres. Manu�s father, Ramon, was a journalist but young Manu spent most of his free time hanging out playing football with the sons of workers from the Renault car factory (which was close to the family home). Manu was also a passionate music fan and when he was not playing football he was to be found sitting in front of the radio or the family record-player, listening to Chuck Berry or songs from the Spanish revolution. (His musical tastes have remained extremely eclectic to this day). In his teenage years Manu discovered the UK rock scene via the Clash, a group which was to have a strong influence on his own early career. In 1985 Manu went on to form his own group, les Hot Pants, who played their own inventive mix of rockabilly and rhythm�n'blues. By the mid-80�s the alternative French rock scene had begun to thrive, throwing up a new generation of �indie� groups such as les Beruriers Noirs and les Gar�ons Bouchers. Countless new bands were soon performing on the alternative rock circuit, playing gigs in bars, squats and disused factories to an audience of teenage fans eager to get away from the musical mainstream.

OMFG - my former boss when I was a kayak guide used to play their CD nonstop and I remember this song! I just saw them at Coachella and thought they were superb - amazing energy and all along they were the Bongo Song band.

D'OH! (Kris is blonde, always will be blonde, and loves it)

yes! the same loop is in 'Homens' and 'Je ne T'aime Plus' too, haha.

now find me some tickets!

1 ticket required ...for me ...not lookin for anything else... was out w/ a concussion when this show was announced .... still a bit foggy but just found out about 2 wks ago & been lookin frantically since. Lesson learned btw, do not fall up (that's right... up) stairs whilst carrying groceries, as head+edge of step+canned goods does not = good.

Fire a PM if you're willing to part with one.

Thanks
