The week had been pretty busy and diabolically rock n' roll so far with The Hives playing a very private show for a Parisian radio. So we were kind of knackered when we decided to go see Bow Low as part of the Noomiz party. Knackered but eager to know what they would sound like live as they've just won the Inrocks Lab, had a real great review in the same magazine, and will be part of Les Transmusicales de Rennes, one of the major festivals of the country.
I honestly didn't know what to expect from that band. I had listened to their EP and thought it was kind of psychedelic post-rock electro. Which, as you may understand, literally means undefinable. I got into the Ménilmontant area at around 11pm so didn't have time to see the other bands playing before. However, I was right on time to grab a drink, say hello to the tour manager of DeepSea Green and Tying Tiffany (who also happens to have an awesome-st tour management company( ie No Wave Production ), set the camera to on and enjoy 45 minutes of rock n'roll.
Because, yes, Bow Low actually plays some decent rock n'roll with Manic Street Preachers accents. And here at High And Loud, we do have to admit that they're better live than what they appear to sound like on their album. The singer perfectly knows what to do to keep his audience dancing and/or captivated depending on the tracks- and the rythmic part clearly did its job. We stayed there for the main part of the gig- though we had to run away at one point - no underground trains after 00:30, Paris remains a provincial town sometimes- but really did enjoy a great night out listening to Bow Low. Check out the pictures to see what you missed and what you surely won't very soon as they'll be playing once again our lovely capital on Nov 2nd at Le Bus Palladium.

The setlist was
