festival for sounds of yamoy, nantes, france

wow! this has been one of the best responses we have ever received at a show or venue
everyone take note, this festival does it right



the line-up included do make say think, clues (members of arcade fire & the unicorns), and benoit pioulard; previous years have hosted animal collective, marissa nadler and many others

when we arrived, the venue was extremely warm, and we were fed a variety of vegan options



the venue was a small coffeeshop & bar - so many people were packed into the room
(this was posted by an audience member):


at one point everyone sitting started getting up to stand
rachel and i both thought (probably from our damaging sxsw experiences) that another band was starting and everyone was going to see them
we found out later, people who wanted to see us were unable to and everyone was simply making room

the audience was so wonderful; they loved the performance

everything in nantes uses old buildings
one of the larger venues was an old textile factory




more posts later!
