Stef Kamil Carlens at Neu Gallery

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I wrote before about going to a gig at Neu Gallery run by Greek artist Stefanos Rokos. I returned the follow­ing week, to see Stef Kamil Carlens, ex of dEUS. Like Matt Friedberger’s perform­ance, it was quite differ­ent stuff to the bands both of them are known for- more sing­er-songer­writery in this case. I partic­u­larly liked the songs which were in French. I think I’ll leave this picture to do the talk­ing.

The gallery has some kind of connec­tion with a hotel, and they held anoth­er event there the follow­ing night, with Jim Sclavun­os from the Bad Seeds djing ( a strange mix of Iggy Pop and novelty jazz records), and a repeat of the music. It was quite a  surreal exper­i­ence. I don’t really drink in fancy hotels anyway, it not being in the budget. Also, on the way there, we stopped off to get some food, and eat it in a little park, the sort where office work­ers go to eat sand­wiches. There was a crown green bowls contest going on in the middle of the finan­cial district. We felt very civil­ised, watch­ing bowls before going to social­ise in a hotel.
