SPARKS

[Toughest Girl In Town]

I was just checking the Salle Pleyel website for directions, and I saw that Sam Sauvage will be the supporting act for next Monday's show. I remember Russell mentioned him in an interview with some French journalist lately:

I quite like the Sam Sauvage 'Les gens qui dansent'...video and apparently Russell does too!
I heard him say in a recent recent radio interview that Sam Sauvage could throw some good moves and had a great head of hair which is all a front man really needs.....😂

(That should be quite a combination in Paris, l hope Sam enjoys working with Sparks!)

I also enjoyed "Les gens qui dansent", it has a really interesting electro sound.
I hope the show will set a nice mood for the evening!

Ha ha......l actually listened to that interview Toughest Girl in Town (my French is basic to say the least)but my ears did manage to decipher the words Rita Mitsouko.....and that was about it....😂

Good & lucky for Paris!

Having a (decent) support act was something I really missed with the UK shows this time around ... remember how great Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer was for the TGICIHL shows a couple of years' back?

Sparks are surely in a position now where they don't need to cut corners, compared to where they might have had to in the past ... it would be great in future* if they showcased artists they love with support slots.

(* I make no presumptions about future tours ... if Ron and Russell call it a day after the current tour and thereafter just do limited special shows or concentrate all their energies on recording, I'd be more than happy with that ....... I've not suggested quit altogether, because I don't think that's part of their creative DNA).
