about

This is a live performance recorded on 25th november, 2017 at l'AJB Centre culturel Marcel Pagnol in a small french town called Bures Sur Yvette. We played with Pogo Car Crash Control (who are a big band here in France who play festivals like Hellfest and stuff like that) and Toybloid (who are another big band here in France that play big concerts with big bands and stuff.) So it was a pretty exciting event for everyone!

The songs are presented in the order we played them warts and all!

Even after playing over 250 concerts, we're still not 100% used to big stages, stage monitors and bright lights so it was a bit of an experience for us. The audience was great and people were really enthusiastic. All in all it was a great experience.

Bures sur Yvette is a tiny french town but a suprisingly large amount of cool bands that have rocked the french underground come from there. That's why the french punk band, Les Dead Boobs, named the town, "The Capital of Punk!"

I recently found the USB key with the concert on and told myself "hey, dude! You gotta mix that shit and put it out!" So I did.

Come see us play in a small bar. That's the best venue for rock! Big halls are too damn weird! But this album is a cool part of our history! Enjoy!

Here's the slightly longer version from our book:

Chapter 14 Live at L’AJB

The record that we put out after Made of Fakes was actually recorded a couple of years before from when Greg was still in the band. It was a live performance recorded on 25th november, 2017 at l'AJB Centre culturel Marcel Pagnol in a small french town called Bures Sur Yvette. Bures sur Yvette is a tiny french town but a surprisingly large amount of cool bands that have rocked the french underground come from there. That's why the french punk band, Les Dead Boobs, named the town, "The Capital of Punk!" During the concert, I shouted “Capital de punk?” and the crowd shouted back “Bure Sur Yvette!” Yeah, sure, it’s a cheap and easy way to get the crowd on your side but a support band has to do whatever it can to rock the kids and make a mark. I think they could tell that I was sincere about it!

We played with Pogo Car Crash Control (who are a big band here in France who play festivals like Hellfest and stuff like that), Toybloid (who are another big band here in France that play big concerts with big bands and stuff) and a local support band called Ghinza. So it was a pretty exciting event for everyone! There was a backstage area with massive amounts of food and drink and there was a good vibe and we mingled freely between all the crew and the bands and I chatted with the lead singer of Pogo Car Crash Control about songwriting and stuff.

We hadn’t played a big stage with a top sound system for a few years so it was nice to do one again. The sound engineer, Tuff, was an old friend of Arno and I think he did a pretty good job with the sound. It was a fun concert to play. The audience was great and people were really enthusiastic. Some guy would just scream like crazy in between songs. I think members of the audience climbed on stage at some points in the set. I roamed the audience right up to the back of the venue and even out of it during Kokoro No Tabi putting my wireless guitar system to the test. Rock! All in all it was a great experience.

It was cool to see Toybloid because their show and their songs are constantly getting better and they’re a class act on any stage. Lou is a great front woman who has an uncanny ability to be able to crowd surf spectacularly at any concert.


Pogo Car Crash Control played a kind of screamo hardcore with slightly gothic and post punk vibe. They sing in french which is a huge deal. Most good quality hardcore bands in France sing in english but gate keepers and state subsidies only normally support bands that sing in french. That doesn’t take away from Pogo Car Crash Control though who are great musicians and their bassist, Lola is a fantastic bassist, prowling the stage like a wolf looking for its prey. She’s also a genuinely nice person! They played a brutal set which included several circle pits and even a “wall of death” moment. (That’s where the crowd is divided into two sides and then the two sides just run at each other when the band hits the breakdown. Carnage!)

I was a bit disappointed though because they used a trick that’s common in show biz. Their set was literally twice as loud as ours! When you’re in the audience, you unconsciously interpret louder with better. That’s just how music physically affects the human body. I like loud music but when I’m organising a concert, I’d want the support acts to have the same advantages as the headliner. That just seems like a basic law of punk rock. This kind of thing is not the band’s fault but it’s a pet peeve of mine and now I’ve shared it with you.

I saw them recently and now they play a kind of metal that sounds a bit gothic like Marilyn Manson but still with a few hardcore influences. Slightly less fun but still cool and quite interesting.


After the gig, everybody got pissed off with us as we waited for the recorded concert to be downloaded onto a USB stick as we were sharing the van with Toybloid. We had thanked the front of house engineer (the guy who mixes the sound we hear on stage as opposed to what the audience hear) during the gig even making him come on stage for a bow. Again, support bands have to use exceptional methods to stand out! I’m glad that I did that because he gave us a USB key because the one I had with me was too small for all the files and he really went the extra mile to be cool with us.

I recently found the USB key with the concert on and told myself "hey, dude! You’ve totally gotta mix that shit and put it out!" So I did.


The songs are presented in the order we played them warts and all! I mixed it to sound rocking as fuck but I kept the performances and the mistakes intact.

The photo was contributed by Owen. Thanks dude!

Even after playing over 250 concerts, we're still not 100% used to big stages, stage monitors and bright lights so it was a bit of an experience for us.

Come see us play in a small bar. That's the best venue for rock! Big halls are too damn weird! But this album is a cool part of our history and was fun to do! Enjoy!

Louis Lingg and the Bombs Paris, France

Louis Lingg and the Bombs are goddamn punk-rock-garage-electro-big beat-pop-anarcho saviours of the 2 and half minute pop song. The bombs they throw are musical, they come from Paris (they could only come from Paris!) and they'll grab you and demand your instant attention.
Their sound is a mix of ultra-political anarchic punk rock and fizzing children's nursery rhyme riot-pop. Formed in 2006!!!! ... more
