AWESOME blog: la blogotheque - les concerts a emporter (feat yeasayer, vampire weekend, beirut, jens lenkman)

what an amazing website! yes, it's totally in french (but the language barrier has never stopped me from loving anything), but what's causing a ripple in the world of music is their awesome take away concerts series. shot in random areas, director vincent moon gets the artists to perform in a spontaneous fashion, making the environment affect the song equally. the results are live performances that have a real energy that is now associated with "le blogotheque".

check out some highlights below and if you want to watch the rest, check out les concerts a emporter (take away concerts):


yeasayer - 2080 / tightrope (la blogotheque: les concerts a emporter) [link 2]
[check out this brooklyn band as they get led into an apartment on the 11th floor (walkup!) to do this performance]


vampire weekend - kids don't stand a chance / oxford comma (la blogotheque: les concerts a emporter) [link 2]
[could you imagine just walking by and seeing these boys just perform on the street with no one else around? i'd go a tad rabid fangirl!]


beirut - the penalty (la blogotheque: les concerts a emporter) [link 2]
[is the music of beirut just perfect for the streets of paris? and to listen to zach speak in french is really cool too. great performance!]


jens lekman - f word (la blogotheque: les concerts a emporter)
[and one last one from jens... sigh]
