Rognes Gig

My last.fm friend Fred (30 year old female, festival organiser by occupation) gave me, Joni and Markus a ride to Rognes(a small village 20km north from Aix) to see one of the best gigs of my life. The venue was part of an art gallery, wine cost 1€ and the bands were amazing. The supporting act was a debut by Professeur Sloggy. The closest comparison I can make is Manu Chao. As he sang in French, I obviously didn't understand most of the lyrics but I got the main words like "sadistic".

The main act was a joint effort of two bands: Narrow Terence and Mansfield Tya. Imagine young Tom Waits and Shannon Wright, accompanied by two violins, a keyboard, a guitar and a bass.
