Eiffel is a French rock band close to Noir Désir. I posted a review about their last album some time ago and I had the opportunity to see them twice in concert recently.
As it was some time ago now, it will be short!
The band transmits a lot of energy on stage. Almost all the songs are longer than their studio versions. Sometimes, they're really longer with parts of other songs in the middle!!
I have seen Nicolas Bonnière (the guitarist) several years ago when he was playing with Dolly (another French rock band). He's always the same! He moves a lot, hist head down and his hair covering his face. He's very impressive and loves to play with sounds (he uses some cool effects on-stage!).
Nicolas Courret is also a good drummer. He does more interesting things on-stage than in studio though!
Estelle Humeau plays the bass and the keyboards. She's more discreet than the others.
And finally Romain Humeau, singer, guitarist and leader. He has a very interesting voice that sounds like Bertrand Cantat's. He occasionally improvises some lyrics, which is quite funny !
Anyway, the two shows were excellent, I'll be there next time they do a show in the neighborhood!
Oh! And don't say Eiffel 65 For f***ing sake!
