Villette Sonique 2012, Paris, 26th May 2012

[The Bloated Pope]

Just came back from the show, they played 40-45 minutes before the Sleep set. Quite a great set, with some greats moments, like Youth of Nation and Star Spangled Banner (Jared had some issues with his bass, they had to deal with it few minutes in the middle of the set...). They also sang a Happy Birthday in this "interlude"

If I remembered correctly, the setlist was like that :

Lysol/Water Glass/Manky/Growing Disgust//History of Bad Men/Youth of Nation/Interlude/War on Wisdom/The Bit (and maybe one more...)

And as usual here in Paris, the crowd was awful, and Buzz seems pissed. Scott Martin was here too...

And awesome moment for me, before the show, when I ran into Buzz completly alone in the middle of nowhere. He was very cool, because I was very intimidated



I have few pics, I'll post them soon if someone are interested...

Awesome man! Great you got to meet Buzz. Did they play Evil New War God? Cool that they did Happy Birthday again.  Was it like this? :


The Melvins sing you Happy Birthday!

[The Bloated Pope]

Yeah they did ENWG too ! I forgot it

And yeah the same Happy Birthday, but to "Gareth" (I think)

I don't remember seeing that shirt before. Is that new merch for this tour?

[The Bloated Pope]

Nope, I bought it at their last coming in Paris, last year

Good. I'll promptly add you to my Xmas card list now then.

Your favourite time of the year, as I remember!
