THE KILLS

Two weeks ago i went to see the Kills at Warsaw in Brooklyn . I got the tickets almost a year ago and as the show got cancelled last year, the venue was rescheduled to this year. They took over Warsaw for two night in a row.

I didn't get disappointed and the show was pretty good.

I've seen them playing years ago in Paris, as that time it was only the two of them on stage. This time they had a few people playing with them but it wasn't really obvious as they were a bit hiding at the back.

The music was good and i liked some new songs from the last album, although i really love the old ones that sounds more raw and rock.

Sexy and wild on stage, the duo shared their amazing energy.

DAVID BOWIE TRIBUTE BURBERRY

I’m happy that the week comes to an end as it has been pretty emotional for different reasons.

The week started with a pretty sad news saying goodnight to Mister David Bowie…

I’ve always been inspired by his music along with the different characters he would play and would be forever.

Picture is from the last men Burberry show where a model paid a tribute to David Bowie on now fashion.

ACADEMY RECORDS - GREENPOINT

A walking distance from Littleneck in Greenpoint, Academy Records is one of my favorite spot to stop by.
With a really good selection of new and used vinyl, tapes and more, you are always happy to find really good deals while listening to the good music they are playing in the store.

Great big selection of weekly new arrivals. Definitly one of the best record store in New York.

Pretty difficult to leave empty handed.

TEMPLES - MUSIC HALL OF WILLIAMSBURG

Temples has become one of my favourite band after i saw them for the first time last year at the Austin psych festival and i couldn't help but go back to see them play them again this week at the music hall of williamsburg.

Psychedelic music by charming english guys. Their sound is pretty perfect with no wrong notes, the band is pretty perfectionist. Seeing them live is like being transported in the early 70's again.

No need of too many pedals or reverb to charm you, their music is as perfect as their look. Every song is a hit and almost every day, their songs have been stuck in my head.

I have to say i somehow like to see them live better than listening to the album, it's even better with more unexpected sounds levels.

Every time very inspiring, looking forward for the next live.

THE POWERHOUSE ARENA - DUMBO

Located in Dumbo/Brooklyn, The powerhouse Arena is one of my favourite bookstore. Could spend hours there looking at almost every art/music books.
Large selection of books in amazing huge industrial space. They also hold some events and small exhibitions.
