YOU WERE AMAZING
It was two fucking powerful days spent in gigs between Nantes on friday with BLISS and Lille on saturday with our friends of LYRE :) Can't write everything I'd like cuz it would never be enough to tell you how good it was !!! We've been astonished by our fans from Nantes who, in spite of the lack of bus and tramways this day, came only with their feet to see us playin' ! o___O Thank you so much, you can't imagine how it was great to see you there ! I didn't expect that for this night, and really, you got me ! :) Nantes, my hometown, the place where we like to be with Scread.. to share our energy with persons like you.. it's beyond imagination. Thank you. One and a half hour of sleeping later becuz of an insomnia, I was waking up, having breakfast with Scread and then, we were taking the train for Lille ! :o The night was awesome too cuz we played with our freaky friends from LYRE and cuz fans from north of France are probably the craziest and most energistic I have ever seen ha ha ! You rock ! :D Well, it was really a perfect week-end to me !

WARMTH & ROCK'N ROLL THINGS
Yesterday night was "super cool" as my australian friend Dylan love to say :) We gave a show in my hometown, in a little concert room. There was about 80 persons came to see us (me and my drummer), Post Offense (a friend emocore band from Paris) and Dust Theority (metalcore band from Paris). Not a lot of people, but everyone was motivated to move on our songs, in spite of the amazing warmth of the room (it's a very little room and it was veryyyyyy hot... 40-60°C easily.. O____O), and some technical problems (mic crashes... but we found solutions and carried on our show, that's rock'n roll "routine" xD). Well, I couldn't stop myself as always : jumping and screaming, making the public jumping, claping their hand and singing with me, and I really don't know how I did this, cuz the warmth was struggling me, and I felt really bad at certain times.. But to keep the energy with the ones who came for us, it's ever my only goal ! I hate when people stay static :) After the show, we supported Post Offense, spent time with fans, took pictures, signed dedications, and finally joined back with the other bands in a kind of motel, drinking vodka and speaking 'bout this night. I really appreciated to speak with my friend Djouls (singer in Post Offense), we never met before and it was cool to see him. He's piercer too, and did my two lobes on the left ear just before the show yesterday, freaky cool :p haha !

ENGLISH TRANSLATION: THIS IS ROCK'N ROLL ! What have I to say about this gig ? It was probably the most frustrating and exciting at the same time we did we Scread. Because of some technical problems, our computer crashed 3 times, probably because of too much bass in returns or because of the proximity of drums.. we don't know. Anyway, Hearthacker Boyfriend has been finished in acoustic, drums + voice, No escape too, and FCKM3 has been unfortunatelly cancelled. But as we say "show must go on" and that's why in spite of those problems we never let it down and carry on spreading our energy more and more after each bug, supported by the boiling and reactive public from Paris ! For the first time we interpreted "Fight World", a new song where lyrics are very important to me. It was so great to play at the Nouveau Casino this night, and to finish it with a cover of Nirvana, "Smells like teen spirit", joining by the other friend bands present for this event : Atomsk, Closer, &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; Lyre ! Big up for JMUSIC LIVE who organised this date ! Thanks Dam' ! :)
THIS IS ROCK'N ROLL
Que dire de cette date si elle fût à la fois l'une des plus frustrantes et assurément l'une des plus jouissives que nous ayons fait jusqu'alors Scread et moi-même ? Des soucis techniques ayant fait sauté le matos a trois reprises, chose qui ne nous était jamais arrivée auparavant (probablement dû à la proximité de la batterie de l'ordinateur ou des retours basses bien de trop élevés). Par conséquent : Hearthacker Boyfriend fini en acoustique voix + batterie, No escape abrégée de la même manière et FCKM3 véritablement foirée. Mais qu'importe, "show must go on", et c'est dans cet esprit qu'à chaque problème rencontré nous avons repris avec dix foix plus d'énergie, soutenu par un public parisien bouillant et réactif comme il se doit ! Ce fût aussi l'occasion d'interpréter pour la première fois le titre "Fight World", une chanson aux paroles qui me tiennent vraiment à coeur. Merci à vous de nous avoir soutenu, d'avoir bougé pareillement, c'était un plaisir sans nom que de jouer au Nouveau Casino ce soir-là, en compagnie de nos amis LYRE, CLOSER et les virtuoses d'ATOMSK (et c'est sans parler cette fin que l'on nous avait refusée et que finalement nous avons faite, chantant tous ensemble "Smells like teen spirit" de Nirvana, dépassant de loin le temps nous ayant été imparti pour ce concert ! ^ ^ Un big up à JMUSIC LIVE pour l'organisation car ce fût une date difficile à maintenir pour de multiples raisons et pourtant ce concert restera gravé dans nos mémoires ! Thanks Dam' ! :)
