My latest gigs. A list:

Cold War Kids - good energetic indie rock, "St John" makes you shout
Nouvelle Vague - I love them because they make me emotional. And because they're so feminine and French.
Holy Fuck - definetly the future of electronic music. I lost count of the number of keyboards/synths they trashed.
Flogging Molly - a friend of mine said that at the end of the concert his underwear was torn. Yes we love the mosh pit.
Roots Manuva - people say he's been hit & miss lately. True but I only saw the "hit"
Jape - I was looking forward to this but, man, he was a bit...boring?
One Little Plane - Indie pop made in London. She is lovely.
Tracy Chapman - if it wasn't for the goddamn drunk knacker Irish ladies besides me who kept shouting I would have loooved this concert.
Dan Le Sac + Scroobius Pip - they are the future of electronic-preaching-hip-hop music or whatever the hell they are doing. Amazing
Birdy Nam Nam - they can surely spin that shit. Should be careful with their drinks though and friendlier witht the crowd.
Buraka Som Sistema - kuduro electro beats and one hell of a show. Loved them.
Apparat - hello Berlin. Can I stay forever?
Mos Def - trouble with big gigs is that the crowd is always crap. This time I had to fight a bunch of Swiss kids trying to be gangsta. Nothing wrong with being Swiss but Zurich is NOT Brooklyn!
Still one of the best live shows ever experienced.
Zion Train - turn those speakers louder and get ready to dub, dub, dub!
George Clinton - everybody should see the Funk Master before they die. It's a crazy unique show.
Lee Scratch Perry - 74 years old and more alive than anybody I know.
Cocorosie - not sure if Sierra was mad at Bianca or the other way around but they just did not seem to like each other that night. Made the show more interesting though. Bianca was surprisingly quiet while Sierra went completly crazy dancing at the end of the show.

Coming: NAS & Damien Marley, Beirut, Sharon Jones and Melt festival. Wish me luck.
