Monade, Fugu and Ueh Pictures
December 2nd 2006 15:57
Last thursday saw the close of The French Disconnection's seasonal shows for French acts to pop over to London and make us dance. Laetita Sadier's Monade headlined the evening in fantastically wispy and complex style, while ample support came from Fugu (the French McFly but good?) and Ueh (Acid Mother's Temple collaborators and drone perfectionsists), whose double album PM has now bought and is enjoying at night-times immeasurably. In short, it was another wonderful gig from this wonderful strand. Highlights included the bowed-bass transistor radio freeform exploration of Ueh, who claimed their regular drummer was unavailable due to being in prison, and the climax of Monade's wonderful 'Wash And Dance'. Dangerously propulsive. PM was lucky enough to snag an interview with Ms. Sadier, who is utterly charming, a tad potty-mouthed ("Shitshitshit!!") and wonderfully enthusiastic about her music. She hangs out with Dave Pajo, you know!
Here are pics (I went a bit black and white crazy...):
