Midnight Juggernauts Crystal Axis tour, live in Paris France @Bataclan

Concert information

2 years after their first Bataclan concert, the Midnight Juggernauts are back to give their french fans a taste of their new album "Crystal Axis".

Leaders of the "retro-futurist" movement, the 3 australians drew the crowd into a time & space warp-zone, mixing synth-rock, electro, new-wave, krautrock and even disco sounds. Vincent Vendetta on keys, Andrew Szekeres on guitar and Daniel Stricker on drums litterally let all hell break loose on the french crowd that hasn't stopped headbanging since the show!

Artist

Midnight Juggernauts

‘The Crystal Axis’ is midnight juggernauts’ second album - their first since ‘Dystopia’ launched the Australian trio into a vortex of global intrigue. For those who arrived late, andrew szekeres, vincent vendetta and daniel stricker had pursued an organic course through multiple indie EPs, singles, and retro-futurist videos before they found themselves hailed as de facto pioneers of a perceived new frontier of “indie-dance” circa 2007/08. But the infinite unknowns of musical imagination will always make light of such musty generic pigeonholes. “We’ve always seen ourselves as a band that continues to push itself and evolve,” says vincent. “We could see that the scenes we’d been linked with had crossed over to larger audiences — and that’s great. We could easily had made more music in that vein, but for this time round we decided to take a more unpredictable path, to explore a few new tangents.” Ground zero for ‘The Crystal Axis’ was live experimentation. Having spent much of 2008 satisfying a raging hunger on the worldwide stage — from Australia’s Big Day Out to Coachella, Fuji Rock, Glastonbury and the Montreaux Jazz Festival — the juggernauts were bristling with the kind of intuitive performance chemistry that demands spontaneous creativity.

Venue

Le Bataclan

The Bataclan, a huge 19th century chinese pagoda in the heart of Paris, is a reference in the entertainment biz, from big-name concerts in the main room to club nights in the upstairs hall. Personally i'll never forget (re)discovering The Roots in 2007. FYI, the name of the venue references Offenbach's operette "Ba-Ta-Clan". After various changes in ownership & format (from cinema to theater etc.), the Bataclan is a definite must-see for music fans. Good sound, good shows. Too bad the old rooftop pagoda isn't with us anymore.
