Do you know Orouvni? It’s a nickname made up by Au Bout Du Fil. You can roughly translate it by UFOrouni.

You can also vote for Panic At The Beehive if you like it.

Here is Michael Wookey‘s video for I Can Show You Things:

Michael Wookey will play this Saturday at 1bis. He might have a new EP with unreleased songs…

Last Friday, we played with This Is The Kit + EliotE & the Ritournelles at L’Eclipse. The very last song of the night was a cover of a band named Pourpre. It’s actually a side project where all members of EliotE & the Ritournelles play, plus other muscians. The song is called Greedy Pigs and sounds really great. You can hear it on Pourpre’s MySpace. I think it’s a hit.

NB – On this song, they use a Polynesian ukulele that looks a little bit like this:

The wonderful label MonsterK7 organizes the Music For Toys festival next month. They launched a brand new site dedicated to the festival.

You’ll hear toy pianos, melodicas, stylophones, and great acts such as Michael Wookey, Kawaii or Pequena Fiera.

Shows will take place on June 12th at Le Divan du Monde, June 13th at Le Monte en l’air, and June 14th at Le Glaz’art.

MonsterK7 will also release a compilation based on toy instruments on May 15th. Stay tuned.

Juan Juez was kind enough to post something about Orouni:

He also recorded a cover of Snowfall With A Sock and I have to say I love it. Especially because he changes some chords.
