SWANN at TARATATA

I've been invited to play the French famous TV show TARATATA ! It'll be broadcasted on September 30th (France 2) and it'll also be available on Taratata official website.

I've been there with Stephen, Mocke and JB; we played "Loneliness".

"Ah, paris" : Interview by La Mairie de Paris

THE Piano...

RECENTLY BOUGHT

Viscount Intercontinental Piano 7 

(40 kg - beautiful and healthy baby isn't it ?)

JB, Foster and the piano. JB said "Cool, i'm gonna play some electro music". But he also thinks the piano is much too big to stay in our flat. And he's not completely wrong. 

This is it...

I spent three days in Switzerland one week ago. It was really good to go there again. I played The Rocking Chair (Vevey) on Friday night with Mocke and Stephen, as the opening act for An Pierlé ; and the following day I played in a small and cosy bar in Geneva called La Galerie, on my own. It felt weird to play alone, just like I used to do when I started playing live when I was 17. But it was nice to see that people were listening silently and respectfully to all my songs.





And last Tuesday, I played in Rennes, at L’Etage. I was supporting this mythic and legendary Woodstock band, Ten Years After. It was a great honour to play before them, on the same stage, in front of a 800-people audience. I’ve never been that nervous before a gig, believe me... Stephen was so nervous too... And JB, my boyfriend, was terribly anxious when he first saw the crowd in the room, ten minutes before i started playing. The first song i played was “Will I See You Again”, on my own – Stephen wasn’t playing. It was actually very frightening, but I was so nervous that i had the feeling to be playing it for the first time ever. We played 7 songs, the show lasted 25 mn. I was very surprised that people were silent – they really seemed to like the songs and the atmosphere that was created.

I will post a video very soon.

Recordings at Steve's studio // Part 2 !

Last Saturday, i spent the afternoon at Steve Prestage's studio with Stephen ... We recorded the backing vocals on "Loneliness", "I'll say a prayer" (amazing surprise, you'll see!), the lead vocal on "Cigarette Song" and the harmonium + lead vocals and backing vocals on "God Is Dead".

It was an important step for us, because we've made some major choices, artistically speaking... This is a glimpse of what "Loneliness" is becoming ...

Back from hell !

It's the end of age.

I'm done with all that school stuff. Student-life is over now ! I'm excited and terribly scared. I just hope everything will be alright and i'll make the right decisions.

Here's the video of my new song "God Is Dead". It was shot by JB, when Stephen came over to our place last Sunday to rehearse for the upcoming shows (see the list below). I love this song !!! Hope you will like it too.

Interview by FROM PARIS

It's been snowing in Paris ! A good reason to stay at home drinking tea and eating chocolate biscuits. Yummy.

Me and Aude

Yesterday i spent the afternoon with Aude, one of the creators of FROM PARIS. She interviews a lot of great artists (Uffie, Philippe Katerine, Band of Skulls, etc) and she interviewed me yesterday. The video should be online around the 10th of December, and you'll see, the concept is really cool. I also played a song - Loneliness - for her, so you'll be able to discover it as well.

At the moment I'm also preparing the next gig, that will take place Wednesday 1st December at La Scène Bastille in Paris !

Speak soon xx
