Smokin' Yann

The Astra Kulturhaus was jammed, and Yann jammed along too, like his life depended on it. He had long ago abandoned Amélie and all her wonderful music, but recently he has taken to playing some crazy stuff altogether. Les Retrouvailles will never be found again.
This gig was on the back of his latest album, Dust Lane, but it doesn’t settle as well as the others. Forced sounds complete with synthesisers and aimless voiceovers just distract from Yann Tiersen’s real genius – the violin. Man, can that guy fiddle! After five songs with all the baggage he finally goes wild and the crowd does too. More, more, more! He gives us more. The string breaks. He stops. Awww. He plays on. Waaaaaayyy!!! Brilliant.

I find it bemusing smokers deem it their right to pollute everybody else’s air as well as their own, giving not one iota of a fuck for those around them. Of course I know some notable exceptions, but none of these were at Yann Tiersen.
Yup, Yann was smokin’ Tuesday – in more ways than one.
