Electrelane - LFSM, Part 5

Last Friday evening at La Cigale, Paris, Electrelane was the last stage of my marathon week during the Les Femmes s'en mêlent Festival – thanks a lot to Laurent from Ephelide for his support. Of course I couldn’t see all that the Festival offered to hear in Paris in more than two weeks, I missed Laura Viers and Marissa Nadler for example, but I am happy enough with what I saw (read previous posts).
To come back to Electrelane, I was not the only one to enjoy the show delivered by Verity Susman and her friends from Brighton and I was not the only one to be sad that Electrelane couldn’t come back for a second encore, curfew oblige at 10:30 pm. We were almost a thousand and, for me, it was the first time I'd seen them live and their confidence and energy on stage remind me of the late Sleater-Kinney. Of course, they played songs from there new album No Shouts, No Calls (Too Pure, April 30). As a support, a very good surprise, to be confirmed, Tender Forever.
