Sophia in Paris
Robin Proper-Sheppard, also known as Sophia, alike Marl Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon) or Terry Lee Hale, is among the most celebrated uncelebrated careers in rock. I mean, despite years of writing wonderful songs, recording strong albums, touring again and again, Robin still doesn’t attract the attention he deserves and spend most of last years in the shadows. Well, I hear you, Sophia is huge in Belgium and Germany, shows for this tour are already sold out, but… yesterday, in a city like Paris, only a hundred of fans… Ok, quantity isn’t quality, of course, but it’s sad.
Anyway, how was it? Well, no surprise, it was a very very good performance, as usual. Starting with the intimate acoustic side of Robin backed with a string section, it ended like a Hawkwind gig (or God Machine!) with his friends from Vito. Four electric guitars on stage, what a sound!
So, next time, you know what you have to do, if Sophia comes nearby, please, don’t miss Doctor Sophia and Mister Robin.
