Music & Travel

After seeing them last year at Rock en Seine for the first time, I've got to say I was quite happy to see The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger again -even though I'm still wondering what they were smoking when they came up with this name for their band. I think I enjoyed this concert even more than the previous one. Sean Lennon doesn't speak Spanish but he speaks such a lovely French that we forgive him. And he's so generous and good-humoured on stage that no one really cares about his linguistic skills anyway! In short, a very commendable live band, which proves that being "a son of" can easily be forgotten when the music is nice and interesting.

Yes, this really is the name of the band... And believe it or not, it was a really nice concert! I didn't exactly know what to expect, I only knew a couple of songs from them. But it definitely was a very pleasant surprise. Formed by Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl, the band delivers a sort of dreamy pop-folk, quite reminiscent of different times. Multi-instrumentalists, the two main musicians show a rather contagious energy on stage. You also have to acknowledge here the power of Sean Lennon's lovely accent when he speaks French -very well, by the way!
