We’ve been working since yesterday on the first really big jamendo banner, in order to use it tomorrow at the first european Creative Commons concert :)
It’s been quite hard since the banner is 6m long, and we made it with paint bombs (don’t know the right word, hope you’ll understand :)
I hope tomorrow will ROCK, after 3 long months of planning :)
Last sunday I played my very first bass gig with the jazz big band of Montigny les Metz !
The show went great even if few people heard me on the first song, maybe I was too close to my amp, I was getting good level :)
Anyway, my parents took very few pictures and the image is terrible but that’s only for me to look back in a few years, when I’ll be a great bassist :) Hopefully there’ll be more until I move to Grenoble next September !
We went with Vianney in Verviers, Belgium to attend my first Spock’s Beard gig. It was quite a challenge because we got stuck in the highway (damn Belgium !!!) and missed the first act which was Kino. Whom bass player is Pete Trewavas, from Marillion and… Transatlantic !! My favourite band musically speaking so far.
Anyway, I got his sig on the ticket and spoke to him at the end of the show, which was excellent ! Spock’s Beard did really rock, their new singer Nick is awesome, he’s really a great frontman ! It was really worth suffering 500km :)
They did all of my favourite songs except “Feel Euphoria” but the last one was “The Light” and seeing this masterpiece live left me really…. wordless :)
I never though distributing flyers was a fun task ! Well, given the proper circumstances, it can be really nice :)
Today we gave about 1000 flyers for the upcoming jamendo LIVE in the campus of Metz. We were 4 (Vianney, Clement and guest star Maurice) and there was 2 girls near us distributing flyers for a “String Party” in a local night club…. So we began using a new approach on jamendo marketing… “Free concert, much funnier than a String Party !” It really made all the people laugh and I think most of them took the time to read the flyer :)
It’s not very serious regarding my previous post, but I released ccLive 0.2 today. It’s the first public release, because we’re going to do its first real test tomorrow at a Both gig.
Here is the current homepage :

I hope a few developers will join to help because I’ll not be able to work on it anymore until July.
