Jérôme has invited me to see Eels at the Théâtre National tonight. Glad he did!
Good show guys. The lead singer has the strangest look... let's say that I would probably be very uncomfortable sitting next to him on an airplane... I think he got arrested in London recently because they thought he was a terrorist!
They play good rock: garage, -abilly and sixties. A few strange songs like I Need Fresh Blood. And in between all this, ballads that can melt your heart, accompanied by steel guitar (for which I have a week spot, I admit). I was expecting bubles when they started to play She's a Spectacular Girl, which plays on their site :

The crowd was as varigated as the music. All the young Montreal granolas were there (mostly guys - oh, I didn't realize that's probalby because we were in the Village! I'am a bit slow sometimes), and a number of grey hair, mostly couples.
Ahhhh but a warm bath awaits my aching toes. Well... music keeps one young, but bars without stools....
